Read what Tanners mom had to say about his new healthy sleep habits I often hear about the 4 month sleep regression. As you can see this sweet boy is 4 months old and is rocking sleep. If you have been following along for awhile now you know I don’t believe in regressions. Meaning I believe our children go through developmental changes, which we must learn how to address and support. When we do that our child’s sleep continues to flourish! I hope you all had a great n...ight sleep, and happy hump day!! . . . #4monthsleepregression #healthysleephabits #sleeptightconsulting #sleepconsultant #greatsleep #bedtime #goodnight #infantsleep #helpingothers #workingtogether #naptime #registerednurse #momof3 #momofboys #ymm #goals #safesleep #infant #baby #toddler #rn #hereforyou #2021 @sleeptightymm See more

On the topic of naps this week!! We know napping to be a good thing, especially for healthy growth and development. We need to take into context the age of the child, realistic goals and expectations. We dont need to be told what happens when a baby or toddler misses a nap. The irritability, whining or tantrums begin to pile up, causing havoc and tension in a household. So you ask yourself well okay how do we get great naps? How do we help them? ... What can we as the parent do? The best advice I have for all parents with a newborn, baby, or toddler is consistency and realistic goals. Newborns will have short awake times and short naps (we want to focus on eating) Infants will start adjusting to longer awake times and longer naps (ideally 60 minutes plus). Toddlers need a solid afternoon routine with boundaries to ensure they go for the quiet time or nap! Take the time to create a plan one that you and your partner or child care provider can follow. Seek out advice or help. Understand age appropriate awake times and safe sleep environments. After you have done this give the nap time, naps can take weeks to regulate and thats okay still struggling with naps? Reach out, sometimes all we need is a bit of Guidance or advice. If you have just a few questions seek a consultant that offers advice calls!! Sleep Tight Consulting offers 30 minute advice calls for 59.99 plus gst. Many families find its all they need to get on the right track!! Dont let naps control your day . . #naplife #napgoals #naptime #babyledsleep #sleepconsultant #registerednurse #mother #momofboys #momof3 #ymm #alberta #advicecalls #sleeptrainingwithleeann #gethelp #healthygrowth #baby #toddler #infant #ymmkids #ymmbaby @sleeptightymm See more

Lets talk about NAPS baby! Its just you and me. Let's talk about all the good things And the bad things that may be NAPS! - Take work... - Can be inconsistent at first - Get better over time (4-6 weeks) - Allow parents to have time during the day for themselves or household chores - Ensures our baby is getting enough daytime sleep. - Can be done on the go or at home -Allows the entire family to hit the RESET button on the hard days. - Apart of healthy growth and development. - Vary depending on age Will always be worth it, in the END So lets always talk about naps, To the people at home or in the crowd It keeps coming up anyhow Don't be coy, avoid, or make void the topic Cause that ain't gonna stop it . . . Anyone know the song? Or am I just that lame it seemed fitting and I couldnt get the song out of my head lol!

Sleeping 12 hours!!! But wait... what does that actually mean? Does it mean sleeping 7pm-7am? Maybe it means sleeping 6pm-6am.... Or maybe it looks like this... Asleep easily, up to eat once or twice and right back to sleep without any major upset!! All the above is what I call sleeping 12 hours A baby waking to eat in the middle of the night is NORMAL! It can also still mean they slept 12 hours!!! Was it uninterrupted? No, but thats okay!! We all have our own path!!

Let them make some choices! Toddlers are known for stalling at bedtime, so why not help them. Why not set them up for success!!! For example Put out two books, and say you can choose ONE book. Lay out two pairs of pyjamas and say again you pick can which pair you like! They also always need water, have it in the room before they even ask!! With just a small amount of course and say look there is one last sip just for you ... Once you tuck them in ADD in I am so proud of you, bedtime went really good tonight. Followed by the usual I love you good night! Toddlers need praise, need to feel involved, when we guide them and support them, they can do amazing things!!! As always a bedtime routine chart using images is very helpful Have questions about your toddlers sleep?? Message me today! I can and will help you! . . . #toddlerlife #bedtime #goals #routine #structure #caring #gentleparenting #goals #familylife #goodnight #allthepatience #ymm #alberta #registerednurse #momtips #lifetips #survivingatoddler #tryingourbest #gethelp #reachout #sendmeamsg @sleeptightymm See more

Parents and caregivers can help create a safe sleep area for babies by taking the following steps: * Place your baby on his or her back for all sleep timesnaps and at night. * Use a firm, flat sleep surface. * Keep soft bedding such as large blankets, pillows, bumper pads. * Find a safe room, one that you can either see your child with the use of a video monitor or close to where you are.... * Ensure no items are close by that could fall on your child while sleeping. * Pick a safe temperature, not too hot or too cold!! 19-21 degrees is a perfect temperature. * Use of swaddle or sleep sack for proper warmth. * Last enjoy the quiet time, knowing your child is sleeping safely!!

Let them take the lead If you truly watch your new bundle of joy they will show you what they need from the moment they are born. From being held and sooth by your warmth, to needing to be fed and so much more. They also try to tell us when they need sleep, if we pay attention. The signs yes at times are a little harder to read but they are always there. When we watch we see excessive eye rubbing, crying, back arching, fussy, excessive sucking and more...... When very young they are often labeled as colic or fussy babies... and with age they get even harder labels such as spoiled, defiant and more. Forcing parents to use the line often oh they are just tired. when what all our children truly need is sleep. Healthy sleep habits start early and carry your child through out every stage of their life. Let them take the lead, they will show you what they need!! . . . #sleeptraining #takethelead #parenting #family #babies #colic #sleep #healthysleephabits #gethelp #doyouknowthesigns #goals #health #newborns #toddlers #children #ymm #albertalife #faith #helpingothers #supportingmoms #momlife #ymmmoms #ymmkids #mentalhealth See more

Nap time! And yes Im HOLDING him! Does that mean hes a bad sleeper? Or Im doing something wrong? Of course it doesnt! Hes only 2 months old!!! Having a nap in my arms is very normal at this age!!! Is every nap that way? Of course not. Sometimes we nap in our bassinet, sometimes in a swing, a carrier, a car seat or someones arms! Which is all NORMAL!... Healthy Sleep Habits is about creating a solid foundation, while going through age appropriate stages! They are only babies for so long, so enjoy the cuddles . . . #naptime #newborncuddles #ymm #ymmmom #momofboys #momof3 #babyleo #2monthsold #healthysleephabits #sleeptraining #sleeptrainingsuccess #gentlesleeptraining #babyledsleep #newbornphase #bedtime #registerednurse #sleepconsultant #helpingfamilies #myfamily #watchmegrow #campinglife #campernaps @sleeptightymm See more

Hi Want to know my bedtime routine? My mom does the same thing every night, since I was about 5 weeks old!! We dont consider bedtime till around 9/930pm ( it use to be 10/1030) - First Im fed in the living room ... - Then its bath time or a quick wipe down and bum change - Fresh diaper, pjs, swaddle - Fed again (my dad feeds me pumped milk) it allows us to have time together since he works all day. - Then Im put in my bassinet next to my parents bed - Sometimes I am awake and sometimes Im already asleep!! - If I need my soother my mom offers it to me!! She says I get to keep my soother until Im 3.5-4 months!! - I then sleep 5-7 hours I wake up and have a big feed. - No diaper change unless I - I will then sleep another 3-4 hours, eat and start my day if its after 8 am!! My mom says I am rocking my Healthy Sleep Habits . . . #goodnight #healthysleephabits #ymmmom #newbornphase #7weeksold #sleeptraining #sleepconsultant #sleeptraingwithleeann #momofboys #momof3 #leo #bedtime #routines #consistency #motherhood #albertalife #breastfeeding #sleep #swaddle #soother #nightnight @sleeptightymm See more

What does the science say? Here they try to separate fiction from fact and offer a few reassuring tips for wary parents.

The sweet sleeping face of a child who just had a 45 minute melt down over a broken boat.... Spencer got to pick out a small boat toy at the dollar store, 20 minutes later he broke it... while sitting in his car seat. I took the boat as it was now broken and was broken intentionally. We then cried and screamed over the boat... I tried to have patience and understanding... but I couldnt wrap my head around what he didnt get it... it was broken.. I may have then thrown the... broken boat out the window.. sorry for littering.. that obviously made the melt down worse... after finally pulling over and having a minute to calm down outside the truck he passed out once back in his seat. Being three is exhausting.. well parenting one is. I guess Ill try to have patience tomorrow! We still have 3.5 hours to home... pray for us and for him . . #parenting #meltdowns #terriblethrees #carrides #roadtrips #momof3 #ymmmom #momofboys #babyspencer #carnaps #meltdowncity #bigfeelings #honestparenting #keepingitreal #dobettertomorrow @sleeptightymm See more

Has your once great sleeper suddenly started screaming at bedtime, waking up at night, or fighting naps? Your baby or child may be going through a developmental change!! Thats right you heard me a change not a regression!!! I hate the word regression... we are saying our child has now unlearned Such a great skill of being able to sleep independently!! The key to understanding what may be going on is to uncover what is causing the sleep change. Is it illness or teething pa...in, have we just learned to roll over or sit up. Are we on the verge of crawling, standing or walking? If you can answer YES to any of the above scenarios then these night time wake ups, harder bed times and short naps will pass! If your child has a solid sleep foundation and is typically a great sleeper, these bumps in the road wont last long! The deciding factor will be how we as the parent respond during these changes, did we maintain our expectations or are we responding to our baby or child creating new sleep habits or associations that you cant sustain long-term? Sometimes we need to sit back and take a look at what is happening, and how can we help them. Developmental changes or teething or illness should never cause weeks of poor sleep!! At most we should pass through the storm in 3-5 days!! If your storm has lasted weeks or months, we need to chat!! . . #sleeptraining #noregressions #healthysleephabits #sleepgoals #sleepconsultant #sleeptrainingwithleeann #bedtime #naptime #riseandshine #teething #baby #ymmbaby #newborn #infant #child #family #nighttimewakeup #naps #rolling #crawling #walking #gethelp #registerednurse #mother #albertamoms #ymmlife #momofboys #momof3 @sleeptightymm See more
