This can be your new normal with a customized sleep plan that will help get your little one to fall asleep independently. This sleep package will give you a step by step plan you can follow along with Katie’s follow up support. She will guide you and support you throughout the plan.

How to Create a Sleep Sanctuary

Client Love

I contacted Katie as an exhausted mom of a four month old. I was the only person who could put her down for naps and bedtime. She would feed to sleep, and even then, would still take 45 minutes to put down. As soon as I set her in the crib, she cried. When she did sleep it was only for 3 hours at a time. I was drained. After working with Katie, she now sleeps 10-12 hours stretches (one or no wake-ups)! She also is able to put herself to sleep. My husband and I can BOTH lay her down, say goodnight, and walk out. There was very little crying which is what I was worried about. It was a very gentle program. We are all much more rested and happier in this household! I am so thankful for Katie and honestly, should have started her program sooner.

We should have done this way sooner, I didn’t start until my child was 21 months old & still waking up every 4 hours, & only napping when in my arms. This woman has saved my sanity! Within just a few days my son was sleeping through the night & taking one 2 hour nap independently a day! I am forever thankful for what I have learned through this program. I am a much happier and rested momma & my son is a happier baby. It’s been two weeks now and I never want to go back to the way it was before!

  • Sleep Tips for Vacation, Hello Spring Break 🌸✈️🚗

Maintaining your child’s sleep while on vacation can be stressful and if you’re traveling over spring break you may be dreading your trip. Don’t stress! 😉 I’m sharing my best tips for sleep while on vacation! 👇🏼

1️⃣ Keep Your Child’s Normal Schedule in Mind

Try not to schedule too much into the week. There may be days where you are out all day so try to follow that day with a low key day so your child can catch up on those naps.

2️⃣ Avoid Overtiredness

Depending on how old your child is, try to aim to have half of their naps at home versus on the go. Don’t put them to bed too late or skip naps. Always move bedtime earlier if needed.

3️⃣ Be Patient and Give Your Child Time to Adjust

It takes time for them to get used to a new environment. Your child may not sleep as great as they usually do which means night wakings or early mornings. Respond to them how you would at home trying not to do anything more than normal.*

*If you need to respond faster than normal or help them back to sleep, do it! You can always get back on track. Avoid bringing them to bed, if they’re an independent sleeper.

4️⃣ Bring Comfort Items from Home

Bring your child’s sleep essentials:
💤Blackout solution
💤Sound machine or clock
💤Baby monitor
💤Pillow or blanket (12 mos+)
💤Swaddle or sleep sack
💤Pacifiers
💤Lovey
💤Pack and Play
💤Slumberpod

5️⃣ Separate Sleep Space

Have a plan where your child will be sleeping. If you don’t bed share now, then you don’t want to start that while on vacation. If there’s no separate room plan ahead. Can you use a closet, bathroom or use a divider to make a separate space?

  • The 2 Year Old Sleep Regression… 

Why is your toddler all of a sudden fighting naps and bedtime?

3 main causes behind this regression:

1️⃣ Language Explosion

Your toddler is talking so much more now, stringing together sentences. It seems like their vocabulary has exploded overnight.

When you lay your toddler down for naptime they may have trouble settling or they may chat and talk to themselves for the entire hour. Don’t give up on nap, lots of play time in the morning with a winddown for nap routine will help! 

2️⃣ Separation Anxiety or Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)

Your toddler fully grasps the idea that when you leave the room you are somewhere else away from them. They of course want to be close to you, and they have a fear they are missing out on something while sleeping.

Spend one on one time with your toddler during the day. Whenever you leave to go somewhere don’t sneak out, make sure you say your goodbyes, but keep it short and sweet. Remind your toddler when you lay them down at naptime or bedtime that you’ll come back when sleep time is over.

3️⃣ Change in Schedules (Awake Times)

As your child gets older their sleep needs change. They need less daytime sleep and more awake time. Before they may have happily taken a 2.5 hour nap, but now they only need 1-1.5 hours of sleep.

If your child is fighting bedtime most likely the nap needs to be capped to 1-1.5 hours but you can start by scaling back 30 minutes. If your child is fighting naptime you can try shifting naptime back 30 minutes, but ultimately don’t drop the nap just yet. If your toddler doesn’t nap, move bedtime earlier.

Remember, just like any other sleep regression, consistency is key. Try not to add in anything new (like laying with your child) or that will become the new normal. Hang in there Mama!

Any other big transitions?

Some other things that happen around this age and may affect sleep include: Crib to Bed Transition, Potty Training and possibly becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister.

Struggling With Your Toddler’s Sleep? I don’t just work with babies! I work with toddlers and school aged children too, in either a crib or bed.

  • How can you HELP your baby get longer stretches of sleep?

Here’s where to start:

Make sure your baby has the optimal sleep environment: a dark, cool room with white noise. Then make sure you’re following age appropriate awake windows.

How do you know if the awake windows are the right length?

3 Signs your baby needs more awake time:

Naps are consistently less than an hour long and your baby wakes up crying and is super fussy all day

Your baby takes 15+ minutes to fall asleep at naptime or bedtime- if there may or may not be crying

Your baby is taking more naps then recommended for their age because they’re all short

Most importantly:

Lay your baby down AWAKE

But why?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Laying your baby down AWAKE (not drowsy) is the key to independent sleep!

If your child is laid down drowsy or asleep this will cause wakings later in the night. When your child comes to light sleep they wake up needing help getting back to sleep. Laying them down awake helps them learn how to fall back asleep on their own.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The number one thing I advise clients to follow to achieve independent sleep is to lay their baby down AWAKE!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
DO NOT:

Let your baby get drowsy during the night feeding. This is the biggest cause of night wakings. Keep all of the lights on during the feeding and make sure your baby goes down awake, NOT drowsy.

If you’re thinking, but HOW do I do this? What if my baby cries? You’re not alone. Most parents don’t try to put their little one down awake, everything they’re doing is geared towards getting baby to fall asleep.

That’s where I can help! I guide parents HOW to shift their routines to help their baby fall asleep independently and cheer them on along the way!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Sleep Tips for Vacation, Hello Spring Break 🌸✈️🚗 Maintaining your child’s sleep while on vacation can be stressful and if you’re traveling over spring break you may be dreading your trip. Don’t stress! 😉 I’m sharing my best tips for sleep while on vacation! 👇🏼 1️⃣ Keep Your Child’s Normal Schedule in Mind Try not to schedule too much into the week. There may be days where you are out all day so try to follow that day with a low key day so your child can catch up on those naps. 2️⃣ Avoid Overtiredness Depending on how old your child is, try to aim to have half of their naps at home versus on the go. Don’t put them to bed too late or skip naps. Always move bedtime earlier if needed. 3️⃣ Be Patient and Give Your Child Time to Adjust It takes time for them to get used to a new environment. Your child may not sleep as great as they usually do which means night wakings or early mornings. Respond to them how you would at home trying not to do anything more than normal.* *If you need to respond faster than normal or help them back to sleep, do it! You can always get back on track. Avoid bringing them to bed, if they’re an independent sleeper. 4️⃣ Bring Comfort Items from Home Bring your child’s sleep essentials: 💤Blackout solution 💤Sound machine or clock 💤Baby monitor 💤Pillow or blanket (12 mos+) 💤Swaddle or sleep sack 💤Pacifiers 💤Lovey 💤Pack and Play 💤Slumberpod 5️⃣ Separate Sleep Space Have a plan where your child will be sleeping. If you don’t bed share now, then you don’t want to start that while on vacation. If there’s no separate room plan ahead. Can you use a closet, bathroom or use a divider to make a separate space?

The 2 Year Old Sleep Regression… 

Why is your toddler all of a sudden fighting naps and bedtime?

3 main causes behind this regression:

1️⃣ Language Explosion

Your toddler is talking so much more now, stringing together sentences. It seems like their vocabulary has exploded overnight.

When you lay your toddler down for naptime they may have trouble settling or they may chat and talk to themselves for the entire hour. Don’t give up on nap, lots of play time in the morning with a winddown for nap routine will help! 

2️⃣ Separation Anxiety or Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)

Your toddler fully grasps the idea that when you leave the room you are somewhere else away from them. They of course want to be close to you, and they have a fear they are missing out on something while sleeping.

Spend one on one time with your toddler during the day. Whenever you leave to go somewhere don’t sneak out, make sure you say your goodbyes, but keep it short and sweet. Remind your toddler when you lay them down at naptime or bedtime that you’ll come back when sleep time is over.

3️⃣ Change in Schedules (Awake Times)

As your child gets older their sleep needs change. They need less daytime sleep and more awake time. Before they may have happily taken a 2.5 hour nap, but now they only need 1-1.5 hours of sleep.

If your child is fighting bedtime most likely the nap needs to be capped to 1-1.5 hours but you can start by scaling back 30 minutes. If your child is fighting naptime you can try shifting naptime back 30 minutes, but ultimately don’t drop the nap just yet. If your toddler doesn’t nap, move bedtime earlier.

Remember, just like any other sleep regression, consistency is key. Try not to add in anything new (like laying with your child) or that will become the new normal. Hang in there Mama!

Any other big transitions?

Some other things that happen around this age and may affect sleep include: Crib to Bed Transition, Potty Training and possibly becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister.

Struggling With Your Toddler’s Sleep? I don’t just work with babies! I work with toddlers and school aged children too, in either a crib or bed.

How can you HELP your baby get longer stretches of sleep?

Here’s where to start:

Make sure your baby has the optimal sleep environment: a dark, cool room with white noise. Then make sure you’re following age appropriate awake windows.

How do you know if the awake windows are the right length?

3 Signs your baby needs more awake time:

Naps are consistently less than an hour long and your baby wakes up crying and is super fussy all day

Your baby takes 15+ minutes to fall asleep at naptime or bedtime- if there may or may not be crying

Your baby is taking more naps then recommended for their age because they’re all short

Most importantly:

Lay your baby down AWAKE

But why?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Laying your baby down AWAKE (not drowsy) is the key to independent sleep!

If your child is laid down drowsy or asleep this will cause wakings later in the night. When your child comes to light sleep they wake up needing help getting back to sleep. Laying them down awake helps them learn how to fall back asleep on their own.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The number one thing I advise clients to follow to achieve independent sleep is to lay their baby down AWAKE!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
DO NOT:

Let your baby get drowsy during the night feeding. This is the biggest cause of night wakings. Keep all of the lights on during the feeding and make sure your baby goes down awake, NOT drowsy.

If you’re thinking, but HOW do I do this? What if my baby cries? You’re not alone. Most parents don’t try to put their little one down awake, everything they’re doing is geared towards getting baby to fall asleep.

That’s where I can help! I guide parents HOW to shift their routines to help their baby fall asleep independently and cheer them on along the way!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Ready to make changes that will actually work? Ready for those long stretches of sleep? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Comment FREE CALL below and I’ll send you a link!

If you’re thinking, but HOW do I do this? What if my baby cries? You’re not alone. Most parents don’t try to put their little one down awake, everything they’re doing is geared towards getting baby to fall asleep.

That’s where I can help! I guide parents HOW to shift their routines to help their baby fall asleep independently and cheer them on along the way!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

How can you HELP your baby get longer stretches of sleep?

Here’s where to start:

Make sure your baby has the optimal sleep environment: a dark, cool room with white noise. Then make sure you’re following age appropriate awake windows.

How do you know if the awake windows are the right length?

3 Signs your baby needs more awake time:

Naps are consistently less than an hour long and your baby wakes up crying and is super fussy all day

Your baby takes 15+ minutes to fall asleep at naptime or bedtime- if there may or may not be crying

Your baby is taking more naps then recommended for their age because they’re all short

Most importantly:

Lay your baby down AWAKE

But why?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Laying your baby down AWAKE (not drowsy) is the key to independent sleep!

If your child is laid down drowsy or asleep this will cause wakings later in the night. When your child comes to light sleep they wake up needing help getting back to sleep. Laying them down awake helps them learn how to fall back asleep on their own.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The number one thing I advise clients to follow to achieve independent sleep is to lay their baby down AWAKE!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Daylight Savings Time is coming up this weekend!!

Yes, it’s that time of year we all dread when we lose an hour of sleep!

But actually, it may work in your favor if you have an early riser! Your little one will sleep through the time change!

Keep on swiping to see how you can adjust your little one’s schedule. I also have a new blog post dedicated to this if you need some more help!
