If this is your struggle, you’re in the right place. In this podcast episode, I’m discussing the 7 most common reasons why babies fight sleep- and what you can do about it. -
As new parents, we’re always striving to create a safe and comforting environment for our little ones, especially when it comes to their sleep. And it’s very common for babies and young children to sleep with a special toy or blanket to add that extra safety.
You probably remember your favourite plush animal or security blanket you slept with as a child!
That being said, safe sleep guidelines have changed dramatically since we were children. And it’s important to know when babies are allowed to sleep with a stuffed animal or lovey.
In this podcast, I’ll discuss when the right time is for babies to sleep with a stuffed animal or special sleep toy. I will also offer tips on how to introduce a lovey to your baby’s sleep routine. Have a listen!

Newborns babies spend a significant amount of time sleeping and it’s VERY frustrating when they won’t sleep in a bassinet. You might love those newborn snuggles as a new mom at first, but after a while you’ll be craving some hands-free time to take care of everything else in your life!

The swaddle has been a trusted technique for sleep-deprived parents to calm and comfort their newborn babies for generations. It’s a known fact that proper swaddling promotes the best newborn baby sleep possible. This is because wrapping infants snugly in a swaddle blanket mimics the feeling of being in the womb and helps prevent your baby’s startle reflex.
As your baby graduates that newborn stage, there comes a time when transitioning them out of the swaddle becomes necessary. This process can be a bit challenging, as it involves introducing new sleep associations that allow your baby more freedom of movement. But with patience, a gradual approach, the correct sleep gear, and the right strategies, you can make the transition a smooth and successful one.
In this blog post and podcast episode, I explore in-depth the steps and techniques to help you transition your baby out of the swaddle, ensuring a comfortable and safe sleep environment for your little one. I also discuss the Baby Merlin Sleep Suit and why it’s my favourite swaddle transition product.

Maybe you’re not ready to make such big changes to your little one’s sleep habits.
Perhaps your baby’s cries are too overwhelming to listen to, even if you’re in the baby’s room supporting him.
Maybe you have a young baby who isn’t old enough for sleep training.
Or maybe you were blessed with an amazing sleeper who doesn’t need sleep training.
This might be where you try patting your baby to sleep, also known as the shush pat method.
In this podcast episode and blog post, I elaborate on what the shush pat method is, how to execute it, and whether it’s an effective gentle sleep training method. Enjoy! -

The question of whether to wake a sleeping baby is a BIG one with no shortage of strong opinions. In fact, "never wake a sleeping baby" HAS to be one of the most popular pieces of parenting advice for new moms.

Ensuring your little one's sleep environment is conducive for good quality sleep is VERY important if your goal is to maximize your little one's sleep and teach them how to sleep like a champ. I'm always getting questions about blackout blinds and whether they're a necessary addition to their little one's nursery. Spoiler alert- my answer to this question is always "YES!" Humans sleep best in dark, quiet rooms. Babies and young children are no different!
In this podcast episode, I'll explain why our little ones sleep better in the dark, the various benefits of blackout blinds for healthy sleep, and why you can't "teach" your little one to be flexible and sleep in a brightly-lit room. Enjoy!

It's a well-known fact about baby and toddler sleep that overtiredness is the enemy as a well-known sleep stealer. However, it can be quite difficult sometimes to figure out what type of sleep schedule your little one needs to avoid overtiredness to begin with. A well-known piece of advice tells parents to look out for their little one's "sleepy cues", which are supposed to let them know when they're getting tired.

The truth is that I DON'T agree with this advice.
In this episode of the My Sleeping Baby podcast, I explain more specifically what "sleepy cues" refer to, why I don't recommend relying on them to help you figure out when your little one needs to sleep, and how I recommend you approach your little one's sleep schedule instead.

If you are a parent of a newborn baby, sleep is probably something you're NOT getting much of. Afterall, newborns require frequent feeds, diaper changes, and nurturing as they transition to the outside world, all of which can get in the way of proper stretches of sleep for you. And that's exhausting!
This is where discussions around sleep training often come in as a way to help create better sleep habits. But the reality is that sleep training is NOT age appropriate for newborn babies. In this podcast episode, I discuss why newborns can't be sleep trained. But most importantly, I go through my top 6 pieces of advice for maximizing sleep in the newborn stage without any sleep training. Thankfully, getting sleep with a newborn IS possible!

Why mothers in this generation are more stressed and anxious than previous generations about their parenting decisions.Why you REALLY don't need to get everything "right" all the time as a parent.The ONE thing you need to know about how your little one feels when he's distressed (it might not be what you think).How you can teach your little one to tolerate separation at bedtime while ensuring they feel safe and secured.If you are a parent who is navigating sleep training and is interested in learning more about the role it plays (or doesn't play!) in healthy attachment from a true expert, this episode is for you!
