Have you ever gone into the nursery and poked your baby while he was sleeping to see if he was breathing? Or have you perched precariously over your baby’s crib so your cheek was right over his mouth and you could feel those little breaths? Or maybe you decided to just hunker down and sleep… [Continue Reading]
Is your little cutie all of a sudden waking up after months of sleeping peacefully? The first time it happened, did you sit straight up in bed like there was a fire alarm going off and start flapping your arms, waking your spouse, trying to find your glasses on the night stand to see what… [Continue Reading]
When my little guy was waking up several times a night (prior to sleep training, of course!), I would give stink eyes to anyone who looked like they had gotten a good night’s sleep. I was a pretty happy person when I got sleep, but watch out if it had been a bad night! Let’s… [Continue Reading]
I often get asked how dark a nursery or child’s bedroom needs to be for naps and overnight… I’m a big fan of a dark room for a couple of reasons: 1. When a room is more light during the day at nap time, it’s pretty distracting. Light is naturally stimulating, so best to keep… [Continue Reading]
Children love to get kisses and hugs from parents. And parents love to cuddle back…But 3am is NOT the time to swap affection! Most parents want to put a stop to these middle of the night visits quickly because, let’s face it, it’s much harder to function without a good night sleep! But there may… [Continue Reading]

We all know that lack of sleep makes us a little snippy (or worse!) with our spouses… You want to be like this (having a relaxing day, enjoying the company of your spouse, smiling and laughing…clearly having enough energy for a shower and makeup!): …but lately it’s more like this (resentment from always being the… [Continue Reading]
Last week, a mom asked me, “What color should I paint my child’s room for a more peaceful sleeping environment? She loves Barney, but is purple for the walls going to stimulate her?” I LOVE when parents are thinking this way! Obviously we want our kid’s rooms to look nice and “kid-like” but it’s also… [Continue Reading]
How would you like to put your little one in the crib at bedtime…and know that shortly, he or she will be able to fall asleep WITHOUT your help!? Or what about sleeping straight through the night without needing to get up for a comfort feed or pop the pacifier back in (for the umpteenth… [Continue Reading]
The holidays are upon us! Well, if you consider that Target started running Christmas commercials before Halloween, it would appear that we have 12 weeks of Christmas, instead of 12 Days……. Every December I get so excited…decorating the house, planning holidays meals and treats, focusing on the traditions we have and remembering the true meaning… [Continue Reading]
