Dear Clients, I am officially off from all client calls and full support packages until January 10th(already booked!). I have a small handful of clients whom I am doing app support with - sleep science, schedule shifting etc.. Aside from app support - I have myself a sweet little break. I have been running a business for a loooong time - and this kind of break rarely happens. I look forward to spending time with my daughter - baking, skating, sledding and connecting. Thank ...you for all the support during 2020. I hope you all enjoy the holiday season. I look forward to 2021! Book NOW for January 2021. [email protected] Warmly, Maxine <3 See more

There are so many ways for families to sleep --- and all can be considered 'healthy sleep habits'. Here are just some examples of the many ways in which families sleep. 1) Family bed - bedsharing everyone in one bed! 2) Family room - room sharing - parents in one bed - crib/child bed next to parents... 3) Bedsharing in nursery/child's room 4) Children bedsharing or room sharing 5) Room sharing in nursery - Baby in crib - parent on a bed or mattress 6) Everyone starts off in their own room/bed - bedsharing part way through night - musical beds! 7) Occasional bedsharing 8) Independent sleep for each family member Normal and healthy sleep looks completely different for each family unit. Sleep philosophies are completely different for each family unit. Mini Sleep School respects ALL the different ways in which families sleep. How does YOUR family sleep?

You will never hear me call rocking/nursing/holding to sleep 'bad' habits. When you are getting your baby to sleep and back to sleep in a loving space - it is nurturing *secure attachment* - and that cannot be seen as 'bad'. When and if rocking/nursing/holding to sleep is no longer working - ok -time to make some changes - and possibly work on self settling - in an emotionally respectful space - assuming it is age appropriate. There are no 'bad habits' for newborns as fa...r as I am concerned. You can not touch, cuddle, nurse or hold a newborn *too* much. That is not possible as far as I am concerned. Nurture those teeny tiny babies to the fullest! I think society as a whole needs to rethink expectations we have on particularly newborns and young infants. They need their momma's touch and closeness. This is human nature. I challenge you to rethink what you consider a 'bad habit'. And instead look at it from a different perspective. If it is working - do it! And if it is not - time to make changes with an age appropriate and emotionally respectful approach.

This is my newest office assistant who will be joining us at the end of September. Her name is Maple (the weenie!)
