Wake windows are the period of time your baby is awake, between the times they are sleeping. Wake windows start once your baby is awake and end when they fall asleep. So yes, they include feeding and nap/bedtime routine! 🍼😴

Following age-appropriate wake windows can be a great way to help you know when your little one should be going down for a nap or bedtime. However, it is important to remember that every baby is different, and some babies need more or less sleep than others.

This is why I recommend using age-appropriate wake windows as a guide, and in conjunction with sleepy cues, in order for you to know when YOUR baby’s optimal wake windows and nap/bedtime is. 💕

How close are your baby’s optimal wake windows to the average? Let me know in the comments!

Matthew Walker explains that during sleep deprivation, the prefrontal cortex — the rational, regulating “control center” of the brain — shows reduced connectivity and lower functioning.

This is why:
• patience feels shorter
• stress feels heavier
• decision-making gets harder
• and emotional regulation takes more effort

Supporting sleep strengthens these circuits again, improving mood, resilience, memory, and executive function.

I’m filming two brand-new classes for our nonprofit next week — a Newborn Essentials course and a Maternal Mental Health course designed especially for underserved moms who deserve ALL the support. 💛

If you were shown a class in the hospital about maternal mental health, what do you wish someone had told you about your mental health journey in the first 6 months postpartum?

Your insights, your honesty, your “I wish I had known…” moments — they can genuinely change someone’s experience. 💬✨
Please drop your thoughts in the comments. Your voice matters more than you know! 🙏💕

🚨 PSA: There’s a fake post circulating that claims the American Academy of Pediatrics now warns against sleep training before 12 months. This is not true.

Anyone can write anything on the internet — and fake “research” posts spread fast because they trigger fear.
But here’s the reality:

✨ The AAP has not released any statement saying that sleep training is harmful.
✨ There are no studies showing sleep training damages attachment or nervous system regulation.
✨ Sleep training is a completely safe option for parents who want or need it.

Do you have to sleep train?
Of course not.
But you also don’t have to be scared away from it by made-up claims on the internet.

You get to choose what works best for your baby, your mental health, and your family. 🤍

Researchers at UC Berkeley (Yoo et al., 2007, Current Biology) found that when we lose sleep, the brain’s amygdala — our emotional alarm center — becomes 60% more reactive.
That means more irritability, anxiety, and overreactions to even small stressors.

Meanwhile, the prefrontal cortex, which helps us regulate and reason through emotions, goes offline.
In other words: without sleep, our brain is all gas pedal and no brakes. 🚗💨

This helps explain why sleep-deprived parents often feel like their patience and resilience are running on empty — it’s not just you, it’s your neurobiology.

We explore studies like this (and how to protect your sleep and sanity through early motherhood) in The Peaceful Sleeper book — available now for pre-order 💛
