When it comes to baby sleep, not every family wants—or needs—to jump into formal sleep training. If you’re looking for a gentler, more gradual approach, the key lies in establishing a predictable, loving routine. Babies thrive on rhythms that help them feel secure, and those rhythms don’t need to include tears or rigid schedules.

Your Baby’s Not a Brand: Why Sharenting Could Backfire

Ever shared a photo of your child online without thinking twice?

We all do it. But there's a growing movement—and legal precedent—showing that kids are pushing back. From court cases to calls for consent, sharenting may not be as innocent as it seems.

From birth to age five, your child’s brain is growing at a rapid pace — forming more than 1 million new neural connections every second (Harvard Center on the Developing Child, 2023). These connections are shaped by experiences, especially those with primary caregivers.

Parenting with empathy and limits isn’t a trend. It’s not a phase. It’s definitely not about whispering your way through a meltdown like you're auditioning for a mindfulness podcast.

It’s just parenting with intention — and that comes from your values, not from what’s trending on TikTok.

It may feel like your toddler is crying all the time, and that’s because… they kind of are. But it’s not because you’re doing anything wrong. In fact, it’s usually because everything is developmentally very right.

Ah, potty training. That magical time when you transition from wiping adorable baby bottoms to cheering when someone pees in a plastic bowl shaped like a tiny throne. What could go wrong? Oh, just a few super common habits that lovingly sabotage the whole process.

Let’s break down the biggest potty training progress killers (and lovingly roast them a little, because we’ve all done them).

Once upon a time, babies were potty trained by 18 months. Now, many kids aren’t out of diapers until 3 or even 4. What gives?

The age at which children are potty trained has shifted significantly in the last century, and understanding why can help you decide when to start—and why waiting too long can backfire.

You had the reward chart. You had the new undies. You even had the mini toilet with a flushing sound. But your toddler? Not impressed. If your child is refusing to even sit on the potty, take a deep breath—you’re not failing. This is common, developmentally normal, and fixable.

You don’t need a script for every situation. But having a few in your back pocket builds your confidence and your child’s brain.

Will your toddler still throw things? Probably.
Will you feel calmer and more in control? Definitely.

And when you’re staring down another toy tornado and need help figuring out what to say?

From dramatic toilet standoffs to ‘Mum, I have to poop!’ in the car park—potty training is not for the faint of heart. 🧻
Here are the 5 most ridiculous (and totally real) potty training hurdles parents face—and how to survive them with your dignity mostly intact.

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.

As a sleep coach, you might expect me to say the most important thing for your baby’s sleep is a routine, or the right wake windows, or sticking to a sleep plan like your life depends on it.

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.

Wondering if time-outs help or harm your child? Discover when they work, when they don't, and how to use discipline strategies that build connection.

Ah, boredom. That dreaded, whiny wail of "I’m boooooored!" is enough to make any parent consider moving to a Wi-Fi-less cabin in the woods. Alone. With no children. Ever.

Many parents believe a happy child means everything is going right—but that’s not always true. Learn why emotional resilience matters more than constant happiness.
