Becoming a pediatric sleep consultant is a fulfilling career that allows you to make a significant difference in the lives of families. If you're passionate about helping families improve their sleep and overall well-being, here’s how you can become a pediatric sleep consultant.

Bringing a new life into the world is an incredible journey but often comes with unexpected challenges. One of the most common yet underestimated issues new mothers face is postpartum insomnia. This sleep disorder can significantly impact a mother's well-being and her ability to care for her newborn. Fortunately, night nannies can play a crucial role in helping new moms overcome this hurdle and reclaim restful nights.

The biannual ritual of changing our clocks for Daylight Savings can be a mixed blessing. Both shifts can disrupt sleep patterns, especially for families with babies and toddlers. If you're a parent, you're likely familiar with the challenges of maintaining a healthy sleep schedule for your little ones. This blog post, with insights from a certified pediatric sleep consultant, will guide you through the process of managing the "falling back" transition during Daylight Savings for babies and toddlers and big kids.

It has come to my attention recently that parents of newborns are wanting to sleep train their babies.  Newborn babies are not ready to sleep train until 4-6 months of age! 

Parents often ask me about my favorite infant sleep books. I recommend reading up on baby sleep while you are still pregnant so you can be more prepared for when your newborn arrives. Baby and parent sleep is important for health, wellbeing, and recovery.

Whether you have an infant, toddler, elementary aged kiddo or teenager, you care about sleep in your household. Infants need up to 16 hours of sleep a day, toddlers need 11 - 14 hours of sleep, preschoolers need 10 - 13 hours, school-aged need 9 - 11, and teenagers need a minimum of 8 years a day.
