How do I help my baby recover from Jet-Lag?
Are you struggling with a tiny, time-zone tormentor? My tips for jet lag are pretty similar for everyone, whatever the age, young or old.
False starts: Why does make baby always wake up within the first hour, after going to bed?
Its hard to know for sure. Like many challenges with infant sleep, there can be several possible causes. I'll run you through them.
How do I get my baby to fall asleep without being held (and without sleep training)?
It takes a while for babies to feel safe and confident enough to settle and sleep without us. And this is normal. The good news is we can invite change while honouring their need for closeness.
You have not created a rod for your own back.
When meeting clients for the first time, and they begin telling me their story, all too often it starts with, " I know it's my fault, but..."
How is it, that responsive parenting and normal infant sleep behaviour are so often chastised or judged harshly by others, and that perfectly amazing parents actually believe they're doing something wrong if their babies need them too much?
3 Tips for managing a Sleep Crisis with your baby.
If you're really struggling with acute sleep deprivation, it might be time to employ some short term emergency measures, while you come up for air.
Try not to worry about forming bad habits. If you've reached crisis point, the geography of where or how you sleep is irrelevant. Getting more of it with as little disturbance as possible is what's really important.
Worried about breastfeeding your baby to sleep?
Have you been warned that it's a bad habit needing an urgent fix? While it can be problematic for some, in most cases it works just fine. Be cautious about relinquishing it solely based on the opinions of others, as you might unintentionally remove the simplest way to settle your baby to sleep during the most demanding phase of your parenting journey.
When your child cries. Supporting tears & changes.
Let me share a question I received this week: "Katie, how can I get my little one to fall asleep without sucking my finger and without making her cry?"
Is your toddler still waking all night?
Does your toddler wake multiple times overnight to be fed, hugged, patted or rocked back to sleep?
Has a health professional made you doubt your parenting?
Let this be a reminder that even a professional cannot necessarily give you accurate advice if they don't have the full picture.
I've said this before and I'll say it again...once more for the people at the back, if your baby is happy and thriving, short naps are not a sign that something is wrong.
Don't overlook floor-beds.
Mischief at bedtime
Does your toddler pull hilarious stunts at bedtime or throughout the night? Here I share a few of my favourites and some important points to consider.
Dropping from 3 naps to 2.
Dropping your baby's 3rd nap is rarely as simple as just skipping it. We really need to know that your baby has the staying power and stamina before taking that leap.
Emotion coaching
Get comfy supporting feelings in the day instead of using distractions or allowing toddlers to be in charge. This is great practice for being that calm confident leader at bedtime and overnight too.

I bet you've been warned about this many times. I know I was!
