Chasing Sleep

Routine = good sleep

Tonight my three year old wanted to share her bedtime routine! It is so important the steps are simple, consistent and predictable. Bedtime routines cue our bodies and brains that it is time for sleep! Join me this month for our Toddler Group Coaching (#linkinbio) where we will cover all the best techniques to avoid those bedtime battles!... . . . . . . . #toddlerlife #preschoolerlife #bedtimebattles #chasingsleep #groupcoaching #virtualgroupcoaching #sleepexpert #healthysleep #yycsleepconsultant #canadiansleepconsultant #yvrfamilies #yegmamas #yyzmamas #albertafamily #ilovesleep #sleeptrainingsuccess #getmoresleep #tiredasamother #newmom #newbornsleep #toddlersleep #babysleep #naptime #sleepingthroughthenight #babysleeptip #tiredmom #tireddad #sleepmore #bettertogether See more

MIXED EMOTIONS// All of a sudden going to the hospital I have worked in for the last 12 years of my career... is scary. This week the Foothills Medical Center made the news... gulp... just a little too close for comfort. It just makes this entire thing feel all too real. Hold your loved ones tight and please stay home. This mama bear wishes she could stay home too.... #nightshift #nurselife #nicunurse #stayhome @rural.route.photography

Bedtime Routine The best place to start when it comes to helping your child have a great sleep is with their bedtime routine. The routine should be predictable and the same every night, children of all ages thrive on consistency. Swipe to see our favourite 6 Easy Steps for a solid Bedtime Routine. And always remember the routine should be:... No longer than 30 mins The same every night Does not revolve around 1 parent Does not end with a feed (breast or bottle) Is relaxing and enjoyable Have a question about your child's bedtime?

Check In. Really how is everyone doing? We are ending our second week of our new reality and it is tough. Be kind and allow yourself to feel all your feelings. Everyone is experiencing this a bit different and that is OK! I am gearing up for a weekend at the hospital #nurselife and I would be lying if I told you I wasnt scared. Please #stayhome and respect #socialdistancing so that the healthcare workers have a fighting chance!...

I was a bit late on this years Bell Let's Talk day but mental health is so important as a parent. I wanted to share my blog post for February! Share it! The demands of parenthood are heavy, and if youre struggling with sleep deprivation, insomnia, and mental health, then it can feel like youre alone. But remember that this is one of the most common issues for parents out there, so seeking help is nothing to be ashamed of. Reaching out can help you right your world if its upside down.

HELLO SASSY// This is Raelyn. This little person is my adventure and inspiration into sleep consulting! Most everyone who has chatted with me knows my own kid has been my hardest client. I always say strong kiddos are going to be so successful in life... but they are the trickiest to sleep train! Strong willed kids NEED sleep too! Toddlers and preschoolers need consistency and expectations but it is so important to allow them to assert their independence as well!... Your older child can become a GREAT sleeper! Are you laying down with your little one till they fall asleep? Having visitors in your bed all night long? Seeing behaviour issues related to a tired kiddo? Reach out! We would love to help your family come up with some awesome sleep strategies that work for your house! . . . . . . . . . . #chasingsleep #preschoolsleep #yycsleepconsultant #sleepexpert #sleepthoughthenight #yycmoms #sleepsense #momblogger #mombie #parentlife #momlife #dadlife #toddlersleep #babysleep #sleeptips #sleeptraining #calgary #calgarymom #tiredmom #bossbabe #smallbusiness #momblog #shoplocalyyc #motherhood #healthysleep #momlifestyle #canada #shoplocalcanada #shoplocalyyc

NEW BLOG POST! I am excited to share my first blog post of 2020! The Notebook of a Sleep Consultant (Chapter One) Make sure you scroll back and check out some of my older blog posts as well, there is so much sleep info there!!!

NEW YEAR// 2019 was a bit of a wild one for me both professionally and personally! . Chasing Sleeps social media and blog has been a bit quiet over the past 12 months! Even though things appeared at a stand still I had the privilege of working with just under 100 amazing families to achieve their sleep goals! . I do not like to focus on the challenges I have faced this past year, but rather the blessings that came along side them! It is actually really crazy to remember wher...e I was ten years ago and look back on the road travelled! . This year is going to be FUN and Chasing Sleep has many changes headed your way! . In 2020 I cant wait to GROW alongside with the families I serve! . Happy New Year! Happy new decade! Happy fresh starts! Happy new DIRECTION! .
