If you’ve ever stood over your baby’s crib at 2 a.m. wondering whether they’re too hot, too cold, or one goosebump away from turning into a popsicle—this post is for you.

Because here’s the thing: babies don’t come with thermostats, and sleep-deprived parents don’t always have time to scroll through 47 conflicting Pinterest infographics about TOG ratings. Let’s make it simple, safe, and yes—snuggly.

As a parenting coach who’s survived hundreds of toddler bedtime sagas (including my own), I’ve compiled this survival guide for those of you whispering, “Why is bedtime like this?” at 8:47 p.m.

Whether you're battling over pajamas, chasing a naked toddler through the hallway, or fielding existential questions like, “Where does the moon sleep?” — this one's for you.

Still wondering why your baby won’t sleep through the night?

You might be falling victim to one (or five) of the most common baby sleep myths. From putting cereal in the bottle to refusing to wake a sleeping baby, there’s a lot of misinformation out there.

As a baby sleep consultant who’s worked with hundreds of exhausted families, I’m here to debunk the biggest myths keeping you up at night—and tell you what actually works when it comes to infant sleep.

If you’ve ever stared at your two children and thought,

"What if… we just put them in the same room and hoped for the best?"

You’re not alone.

Is sleep training harmful? What’s the science behind cry-it-out? Here’s what research really says about baby sleep and self-soothing.

Ah, co-sleeping. The age-old tradition of sharing a bed with your baby, and possibly a few stray Goldfish crackers, a sippy cup, and a plush elephant named Mr. Snuggles. It’s cozy. It’s warm. It’s sweet.

It can also a battlefield between what’s idealistic and what’s realistic.

Some parents swear by it. Others swear because of it. And somewhere in between lies a very tired mom Googling “Is co-sleeping dangerous?” at 2 a.m. with a foot in her ear.

So, let’s talk about it—seriously, but with a side of humor (because you’re probably too sleep-deprived for anything else).

A Humorous Look at the Pros and Cons of Soother Use (With Real Research!)

Ah, the pacifier. That magical piece of silicone that can silence a newborn scream faster than you can say, “Where is it?! I know I put it in the diaper bag!”

But is it a gift from the parenting gods—or just another gateway to orthodontic doom? As a sleep consultant I am anti-soother but keep reading for an unbiased or as unbiased as I can be, breakdown.

As parents, ensuring our little ones get a good night's sleep is a top priority. From choosing the coziest crib to the softest blankets, creating a comfortable and safe sleep environment is essential for a baby's well-being.

I often speak to parents who are worried about their little one sucking their thumb or fingers, so I wanted to put a post together encompassing, why babies suck their thumbs, when it starts, how long it might last and if its something you should be worried about it. I also added some feed back from some of my clients who have children who are or were addicted to their thumb or digits.

Many parents will resort to having a lovey in the crib with their little one, usually once they are at least 6 months old, or when the parent feels confident to do so. What is a lovey and how can I get my child to attach to one?

Having a baby changes your life in a way that you could never have imagined. It can truly be a juggling act, and if you have a few children, you are constantly balancing schedules and making mental notes of who has to be where and when (confession: I have dropped the ball on the kids schedules many times and turned up at the wrong place at the wrong time). As a former nanny, I was much more organized and was able to get the children out of the door with lunch kits in hand by 8am. As a new Mum, I couldn’t get out the house until 2 in the afternoon !!

There is a plethora of information on the internet about infant sleep, with a big focus on awake windows and sleep cues, babies being overtired and under-tired. It can create a lot of anxiety resulting in parents counting the number of hours that their little one might have slept per 24 hrs and tracking every detail through various apps looking for a pattern.

This is such a common question, I get asked it all the time when consulting with clients about sleep changes and safe sleep environments. The crib bumper usage is confusing as they have been used for years previously. We are currently advised to NOT to use them, but they are still available for purchase and are often on show in stores, when looking to purchase your nursery set up. Let’s dive into this a little deeper -

If you are a new parent you will likely start to hear common phrases around infant sleep - sleep regression - sleep association and awake window - but what does it mean?

So, you thought that you had nailed it – your baby has just mastered the art of sleeping through the night and bang – it’s all gone sideways because they have developed a new motor skill. 

Quiet time LOL .. with a toddler, yeah right!

Coming off the back of one of my last posts, around the 2 to 1 Nap transition, I wanted to follow it up with the 0-1 Nap transition and what quiet time should look like.

Sleep training refers to supporting your infant in learning how to fall asleep on their own. How do I mentally prepare for sleep training?

Whether your child is 3 months or 3 years old, one thing that comes up time and time again, is how to maintain good sleep once you have it.

If you are co-sleeping don't take offence to this image that I am choosing to use under the title of 'When sleep training doesn't work'.
