Helping your child sleep better is not a one size fits all solution (but wouldn’t that be amazing if it was that easy?).

If your child’s sleep struggles are persistent and disruptive to everyday functioning, consider talking to your provider.

And remember, there’s no shame in using medication or supplements when combined with positive reinforcement, strong routines and emotional support.

Connecting with Yanam2m - You Are Not Alone Mom 2 Mom for this podcast recording was so much fun! 💕

Sara Nudd is a mama of 4 with a heart bigger than you can imagine. Her birth story with her first, at the age of 21 was traumatic and heart wrenching, on top of having no support or knowledge of what being a mom would be like. She struggled and struggled but after 3 more kiddos, she realized that she was suffering with PPD. Her life now is super full and her favorite mama moments are when all 6 of her family are together (including the senior Golden Doodle who is her soulmate!). She is almost finished with her Nurse Practitioner Degree and will specialize in Maternal Mental health. She has been a pediatric nurse for years and owns her own business called The Mama Co-op (find her here: themamacoop.com). She understands the need for good sleep and how that can completely derail your life. Her practice focuses on ensuring families have the resources they need to thrive and not just survive. You have not met a more genuine, lovely human as Sara Nudd. We are honored to have her as a YANA Board of Directors!

Every. Single. Time. I just can’t articulate how much I appreciate my clients! I love hearing when parents are able to feel like their best selves and their babies are sleeping.

This particular client posted this review months ago and I’ve been such a squirrel with social media lately. 🤪 THANKS for sharing your experience and success story!

Not sure about you, but I am a words of affirmation gal. But more than words, I LOVE when my clients achieve the sleep that they have been NEEDING!!! 👏🏻 This family was so loving and so committed to supporting their 8 month old baby finally sleep through the night. Man, I love this work and my clients! 💕

No matter if your child is 4 months, 4 years or going into 4th grade, implementing healthy sleep habits can feel overwhelming and like you are the only family struggling. Rest assured, you are not by yourself. At this minute, there’s another mama out there feeling just as exhausted and frustrated. You don’t have to do this by yourself!

We support parents with children 12 and younger develop and master sustainable sleep habits. You aren’t alone in this process!

Stay tuned for details about our upcoming sleep support groups.

I remember reading once that there was over 200 different ways to “sleep train” your child. With all of those choices, it’s no wonder our exhausted families are reaching out for guidance!

For us, “sleep training” is more about creating healthy and predictable sleep habits. There’s no “one size” fits all approach. Every family and every child is unique with their own needs and preferences. That’s why we love this work!!!

If you are curious on what sleep training method would work best for you, schedule a free consult from the link in our bio.

What sleep training method has worked best for your child(ren)?

Did you know that hormones also play a role in both sleep and bladder control. The hormone vasopressin, which helps regulate the body’s water balance, is produced in higher levels during sleep.

Disruptions in the sleep cycle can affect the body’s production of vasopressin, potentially leading to bedwetting.

By establishing a regular bedtime and sleep routine, parents can help optimize both sleep and bladder control. Knowing when it’s time to start potty training can vary from child to child, but there are some signs that can indicate readiness. 

Here are some common signs that your toddler or preschooler may be ready to start potty training:
•Showing Interest In Sitting on the Potty
•Staying Dry for Longer Periods
•Expressing Discomfort with Dirty Diapers
•Ability to Follow Simple Instructions
•Showing Independence
•Consistent Bowel Movements
•Physical Readiness

It’s important to remember that every child is different, and readiness for potty training can vary. You don’t have to go through this potty training stuff by yourself.

Feeling overwhelmed? Social media can be fantastic for building CONNECTIONS, and there’s so much value in that. I absolutely love it for making new friends! 💕

BUT scrolling through those perfectly curated (and often fake) feeds of ‘perfect’ parents and families can set unrealistic expectations, create pressure, and bring feelings of shame.

Not to mention the well-meaning accounts pushing unsafe parenting “hacks” and “education” from “experts” that might do more harm than good. There’s SOO much information and how do you trust what is REALLY what you need to do.

I’m here to remind you that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting and sleep. Every child is unique, and every family has their own journey. 💕

At the Mama Co-Op, our certified sleep and potty training coaches are not only experienced pediatric RNs but also moms who have been exactly where you are right now.

Whether you let your baby nurse to sleep, prefer a Montessori floor mattress over a crib, sleep train with or without Cry It Out, use a night time Pull Up for your preschooler, or if your 1st grader needs to listen to a kid friendly podcast in order to fall asleep, there’s no shame in choosing what works best for YOUR family.

😊 The bottom line is everyone is striving for that much-needed restful sleep. From infancy through the teens years…RESTED IS BEST!

It’s perfectly okay to have messy hair, a cluttered house, and moments of exhaustion – that’s real life! I need to do better at sharing real life moments.

Let’s share our genuine and unfiltered moments to create a community that celebrates authenticity and the beautiful imperfections of parenthood.

I first started off writing this statement for one of my sleep clients. But then the more I thought about it, this is applicable is so many areas of our lives. From relationships, to fitness and nutrition, to careers…heck even applies to having a bad hair day. Bottom line. We got this. And tomorrow will likely be better. But if it’s not, my money is on the next day after that!
