✨ The One Morning Habit Every Tired Mama Needs ✨

If your mornings feel like a race you never agreed to run… welcome to the club, my friend. 🏃♀️😅
But here’s the truth: carving out even the tiniest sliver of a morning routine can completely shift your day — and your sanity.

You don’t need a sunrise yoga session, a 6-step skincare routine, or a green smoothie blessed by the universe.
Sometimes it’s just… 3 quiet minutes. A hot coffee. One deep breath where no one calls your name.

There will be seasons when waking up before your kids is impossible — newborn chaos, teething, sickness, leaps — we’ve all been there. But when life lightens up? That’s your moment to bring YOU back into the picture. 💛

Tell me: Do you have a morning routine?
And what’s your favorite part — the peace, the coffee, or simply not being touched for 45 seconds? 😂

Is Your 1-Year-Old Suddenly Fighting Sleep? Here’s What’s Really Going On.

If your once-great sleeper is suddenly skipping naps, waking before sunrise, or protesting bedtime — you’re not imagining it. The 1-year sleep regression is real (and temporary!). 😴

Around their first birthday, your little one’s brain and body are in overdrive — walking, talking, and discovering independence — all of which can disrupt their sleep patterns.

Don’t worry, this phase will pass! 🙌 Follow these 3 tips to help your toddler get back on track and protect your own sanity in the process.

Think Every Other Baby Sleeps Like an Angel? Think Again.

It seems like every baby on Instagram is snoozing through the night… except yours, right? 😅
Trust me — you’re not alone, and you’re definitely not doing anything wrong.

Here’s the truth: perfect sleep doesn’t exist. Even “great sleepers” have off nights, skipped naps, and surprise wakeups. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s rested + happy. 💛

As long as your baby’s getting enough total sleep in 24 hours, you’re doing amazing:
🍼 Newborns: 14–17 hours a day
🌙 4–11 months: 12–15 hours a day

And if night wakings are stealing your sanity — We’ve got you. ✨

Time to Ditch the Swaddle? Here’s How to Make It Stress-Free! 😴

One of the most comforting tools for newborns? The swaddle — it helps them feel secure, calm, and ready for sleep. But as your baby starts rolling, kicking free, or resisting the wrap, it’s a clear sign that it’s time to transition out for safety and better sleep.
katie.b is sharing her expert tips for how to easily and gently move past the swaddle phase — without endless nights of tears (for you or baby).

Struggling with Short Naps? Here’s How to Turn 30 Minutes into 2 Hours of Bliss! 😴✨

If your baby’s naps last only 30–45 minutes, you’re so not alone. Short naps are one of the most common frustrations for parents — but the good news is, they’re fixable! 👏

Here are 3 simple tweaks to help your baby nap longer and wake up rested (and so can you 😉):

1️⃣ Give them a few minutes. After a short nap, leave your baby in their crib for at least 5 minutes. This teaches their body to link sleep cycles and fall back asleep naturally.

2️⃣ Darken the room. A pitch-black nursery is your secret weapon. Even a sliver of sunlight can signal “daytime” and make it harder for your little one to drift back off.

3️⃣ Teach independent sleep skills. Babies who can self-soothe fall back asleep so much easier after a short nap. Start by putting your baby down wide awake and letting them find their rhythm.

If Tip 3 is where you need help, my Baby Sleep Course walks you through teaching your baby to fall asleep independently — all on your own schedule and budget. Tap the link in bio to learn more! 💕

Can You Sleep Train and Breastfeed? Absolutely — Here’s How 👇

Yes, you can successfully sleep train your baby while breastfeeding — it just takes a little strategy and consistency! 💪✨
Here are 4 quick tips that make all the difference:

1️⃣ Establish consistent feeding times — predictability helps your baby’s body clock sync.
2️⃣ Wait 5–10 minutes before responding — sometimes they just need a moment to settle.
3️⃣ Always return Baby to their crib after feeding — this reinforces where sleep happens.
4️⃣ Drowsy is perfect — not asleep! Let them practice falling asleep on their own.

Don’t Let Halloween Haunt Your Kid’s Sleep Schedule! 👻

The spookiest night of the year doesn’t have to mean a scary next morning! 😱 Keep your little goblins rested (and your sanity intact) with these 3 Halloween sleep tips:

1️⃣ Set a “fang-tastic” bedtime limit. Let them stay up no more than 30 minutes past their normal bedtime — any later, and you’ll be summoning the overtired monster 👹 (aka a cortisol spike = night wakings).

2️⃣ Plan your night like a pro. Trick-or-treating, photos, candy sorting — map it out so you can fit in the fun and still get them tucked in before the witching hour. ⏰

3️⃣ Candy = okay. Chocolate = beware. 🍬 Let them indulge a little, but skip chocolate — that sneaky caffeine can turn bedtime into a nightmare.

You deserve a peaceful night after all that trick-or-treating! 💤

✨ Newborn Sleep Myths Busted: What Really Works in Those First Few Months 💤

Exhausted and running on coffee and cuddles? ☕👶 Read this if you’ve got a newborn and are desperate for sleep!

Here’s the truth: your newborn isn’t ready for a strict sleep schedule—and we’d never recommend leaving your little one to cry it out. Newborns can’t be “sleep trained” like older babies… but you can start building healthy sleep habits from day one. 🌙

Instead of focusing on the clock, focus on connection, cues, and consistency. Our Senior Sleep Consultant, , is breaking down 3 realistic newborn sleep goals that set your baby (and you!) up for long-term success.

✨The Secret to Conquering Picky Eating (Without the Mealtime Meltdown!)✨

Struggling with a picky eater? Here’s the trick: don’t make it a big deal!
Keep mealtime calm and pressure-free. Fill their plate with a few familiar favorites and sneak in one new food. No forcing, no bribing — just chill vibes and gentle exposure.

Bonus tip 🍽️: Kids love to copy us! So if they see you eating that broccoli, they’ll be way more likely to give it a try too.

And if your little one gets snacky before bed, skip the milk and go for a balanced combo of protein, fat, and carbs — think banana + nut butter or cheese + crackers. This helps keep blood sugar (and sleep!) steady through the night. 😴
