Are you currently spending your entire evening sitting on a bedroom floor waiting for your child to drift off? You aren’t alone.

Independent sleep refusal is a completely normal part of development, but that doesn’t mean you have to stay there forever.

The goal is to transition from being their sleep association to being their support system. Here is how we do it using a gradual, 10-day method:

The Game Plan:
Nights 1 -3: Sit in a chair right next to the bed. If they fuss, offer a quick 30-60 second pat, then sit back in your chair.
Nights 4 - 6: Move the chair halfway between the bed and the door. Wait 5-10 minutes between “soothing times” to let them practice falling asleep on their own.
Nights 7-10: Move the chair to the doorway. Try to use your voice to calm them, and stay in your chair the entire time.

Why it’s happening:
Separation Anxiety: This often peaks around 1.5 - 3-4 years old
Fear/Imagination: Darkness, shadows, or quiet noises can be genuinely frightening for little ones.
Habit: If you’re always there, they simply haven’t learned the skill of self-soothing yet.

Are you ready to stop sitting next to your child every night? ❤️

There are THREE very important things you need to master to get them sleeping better.

I put them in a guide for you. Comment TODDLER and I’ll send you all the details .

“How to help a baby with reflux sleep at night?”

If your search history looks like this a 3 AM, I already know how tired you are. You’re watching your baby arch their back, spit up, and struggle to lay flat, and it feels like the “safe sleep” rules are working against you. They feel impossible.

You’ve probably seen the hacks on Pinterest: prop up the mattress with towels, wedges, or let them sleep in a swing, but those feel like dangerous options.

Most parents think that if a baby has reflux, “good sleep” is impossible until they outgrow it. The truth is, while reflux is a physical challenge, it doesn’t have to mean a total sleep strike. You don’t have to choose between safe sleep and actual sleep.

Reality Check:

⭐️ Inclines are not the answer: Elevating the head of the mattress actually increase the risk of positional asphyxiation and hasn’t been proven to reduce reflux symptoms

⭐️ The holding window: Keeping a baby upright for 20 - 30 minutes after a feed before laying them flat can actually help and is a good standard for management.

⭐️ Environment mastery: Focus on what you can control. Look at wake windows and caloric intake so that when they do hit the mattress, their sleep pressure is high enough to help them settle.

As a reflux mama myself, I understand and I have been where you currently are. The hours of crying. The googling rabbit hole. The billions of different pieces of advice. You don’t have to white-knuckle it through the night and feel anxious.

If you are struggling to find a routine while balancing reflux and sleep, we are here to navigate this stage with confidence.

Please tell me you saw that blooper 😂

But let’s talk about the 5am feed for a second because this one catches SO many parents off guard.

If your baby is waking around 4:30/5am and immediately getting fed, their body can start treating that time like morning instead of nighttime sleep. And once that internal clock shifts, it can impact:
• early wakeups
• short naps
• split nights
• difficulty sleeping later in the morning

That doesn’t mean you should never feed your baby early in the morning, especially if they truly need it. But if your baby is capable of sleeping longer stretches and the 5am feed has become a habit, it may actually be reinforcing the wakeup.

A lot of times, making small schedule adjustments, evaluating daytime calories, and changing how you respond at that hour can make a HUGE difference in both day and night sleep.

And no, you do not have to just accept 5am as your new morning forever ☕️

POV: you thought taking a sleep course would fix everything… and it didn’t.

First, if that’s you, you’re not alone. And you didn’t do anything wrong.

So many of the families I work with come to me after trying a course, following the steps, doing “everything right”… and still feeling stuck, exhausted, and honestly a little defeated.

Here’s the part no one says enough:

Courses can work…
but they work best for a very specific type of baby, temperament, and situation.

And if your baby doesn’t fit perfectly into that?

It doesn’t mean your baby “can’t sleep.”
It doesn’t mean you failed.
It means you need something more tailored.

Because sleep isn’t one-size-fits-all
it’s your baby, your schedule, your feeding, your parenting style, your real life.

Also… let’s be honest for a second:

When you’re running on broken sleep, the last thing you want to do is
read another guide…
watch another video…
or try to piece together what applies to you.

You don’t need more information.
You need someone to look at your baby and say:

“Here’s exactly what’s going on and here’s what to do next.”

That’s what I do.

As a sleep consultant (and a mom of 3 who gets it), I help you cut through the noise and create a plan that actually works for your baby, with real-time support so you’re not second guessing every step.

Because most families don’t need more tips…
they need the right guidance.

If you’ve tried the courses and you’re still stuck, this is your sign you don’t have to keep guessing.

Highly recommend momming in your late 30s… 10/10 experience 😂

Your mom friends turn into your actual village.
Group chats hit different. Everyone understands when you don’t respond for days and then only respond with reaction emojis.
Plans are intentional… and everyone’s secretly hoping they end early.

The cocktails?
Better. Stronger. Needed.

And bedtime?
Let’s just say being in bed by 9pm feels like a personality trait now.

There’s something about this stage
you care less about doing it perfectly
and more about doing what actually works for you

Real life.
Less pressure.
Better connections.

And honestly? I wouldn’t trade it.

If this feels like your life right now… you’re in the right place and I can’t wait to mom with you 🫶🏻

If I found out tomorrow that we were being surprised…yet again…with another pregnancy….here’s what I would NOT do as a pediatric sleep consultant.

After having three kids of my own and helping hundreds of families sleep through the night, these tips might surprise you.

The biggest takeaway? Sleep isn’t just about what happens when the lights go out.

It’s about:
How feedings go during the day
Understanding baby biology vs. magical marking schemes
Building a foundation of independence

Comment NEWBORN SLEEP to get the step-by-step framework that gets your newborn from waking every hour to predictable overnight stretches

05/11/2026

2027 mamas ~ if sleep is already on your mind, you’re ahead of the game 🤍

Because newborn sleep isn’t about luck…
it’s about knowing what actually moves the needle in those early weeks.

Here are 5 things I want you to know so you can actually get more sleep with a newborn:

1. Daytime calories matter more than you think
Full feeds during the day = longer stretches at night.
This is one of the biggest (and most overlooked) levers.

2. Wake windows are short… like really short
Most newborns can only handle 45–75 minutes awake.
Miss that window and you’re dealing with overtired, harder-to-settle sleep.

3. You don’t have to choose between contact naps or the bassinet
It’s not all or nothing.
Balancing both helps your baby learn to sleep independently without losing that closeness.

4. Night sleep starts during the day
How your baby naps, feeds, and stays awake directly impacts how they sleep overnight.

5. You don’t need to “figure it out as you go”
The families who feel calm and confident?
They have a plan before baby arrives.

And that’s exactly why I created my Newborn Sleep Package.

This isn’t just a course or guide it’s a step-by-step roadmap for:
✔️ building healthy sleep habits from day one
✔️ understanding your baby’s cues and rhythms
✔️ avoiding the common mistakes that lead to exhaustion
✔️ knowing exactly what to do (even at 2am)

PLUS ➕ you get 2 phone calls with me so you’re not left guessing or spiraling when things feel off.

Because the goal isn’t perfection…
it’s walking into newborn life feeling prepared, supported, and confident.

And trust me ~ that changes everything.

If you’re expecting and want to set yourself up for calmer days and better nights from the start…
