Eeek! Daylight Saving Time is ending, but it doesn't have to feel like the end of the world!

I have 2 different plans of action below to help you survive this time shift:

If you've ever asked a simple baby sleep question online and immediately regretted it… you're not alone.

Maybe you just wanted to know how long your baby should be awake between naps, or how to reduce night wakings — and suddenly you're caught in a heated debate about cry-it-out vs. co-sleeping, sleep training vs. “just go with the flow.”

It's overwhelming. It’s loud. And it can leave you feeling more confused than when you started.

Let’s change that.

Why baby sleep advice feels so overwhelming

The truth is, there’s no shortage of strong opinions when it comes to baby sleep. Everyone seems to have a different approach — and many believe their way is the only way.

It’s not always easy to separate fact from fear-based advice.

As a certified sleep consultant (and a mom who’s been through it myself), I know how tempting it is to dive into every blog, podcast, or Facebook thread. But the reality? That often leads to information overload, not clarity.

The resource I wish more parents knew about

That’s why I want to share a recent find — one I think more parents should know about.

This resource is a detailed, research-based overview of baby sleep, written by a third party who has no "skin in the game."
✅ It’s not from a sleep consultant.
✅ It’s not from someone who’s “anti” sleep training.
✅ It’s simply… research.

Here’s what it covers:

• What research studies are actually out there about sleep training

• Which studies are often used incorrectly to draw conclusions (even though they have nothing to do with sleep training)

• How the divide between pro- and anti-sleep training views stacks up against the actual body of available research

Let’s bring the calm back to sleep conversations

My goal has always been to help tired moms cut through the noise, find what works for their baby, and feel good about it — whether that’s sleep training, tweaking routines, or simply understanding what’s normal.

You don’t have to do this alone.
You don’t have to pick a “side.”
And you definitely don’t have to keep doom-scrolling through mom group debates.

✨ Instead? Start here — with clarity and confidence: Is sleep training harmful?

You deserve sleep advice that helps you feel informed, not overwhelmed.

Want more personalized support?

If you’ve read the research and feel ready to make changes, I’d love to support you with a step-by-step plan tailored to your baby and your values.

Is it just a sleep regression? Or something else... We've all been there—waiting, hoping, surviving. Your baby was sleeping just fine, and then out of nowhere, the wake-ups start. You tell yourself, "It’s just a phase. It’ll pass." And sure, sometimes sleep regressions really do resolve on their own. But what if they don’t? What if weeks (or months) later, your baby's sleep is still a struggle?

The misconception: “It’s just a regression. It will pass!”

You’ve probably heard this advice before: "It’s just a sleep regression. Give it time, and your baby will go back to sleeping well."

And yes, temporary disruptions in sleep due to developmental leaps, teething, or illness can improve on their own. But here’s the thing—if you’re stuck in unsustainable sleep habits while waiting for things to magically get better, there’s a chance this isn’t just a phase anymore.

The reality: A regression can quickly become a habit

Here’s how it happens:

• A sleep regression begins – Your baby suddenly wakes frequently or resists sleep.
• Survival mode kicks in – You start rocking, feeding, or co-sleeping just to get some rest.
• Weeks pass… and nothing changes – The "phase" is still going strong because your baby now expects those sleep habits every time they wake up.

If this sounds familiar, your baby’s sleep struggles may no longer be a temporary regression but a learned sleep pattern.

How do you know it’s more than just a regression?

If your baby or toddler only falls asleep with one (or more) of the following, and you feel stuck, it’s likely that a sleep habit has formed:

• Rocking or holding until fully asleep
• Feeding every time they wake up (even if they weren’t doing that before)
• You lying next to them until they doze off
• Motion sleep (stroller, car, etc.)

The good news? Instead of passively waiting for sleep to improve, you can take small, intentional steps to break the cycle and create sustainable sleep habits.

Also, be sure to take a look at my FREE sleep regression flowchart if you're still unsure whether it's a sleep regression or not.

How to get sleep back on track

If your baby’s sleep has gone off the rails, you’re not alone. The key is to be proactive rather than waiting it out. You can start by:

• Creating consistent, predictable bedtime routines
• Gradually removing sleep associations that aren’t working for you
• Teaching your child independent sleep skills so they can resettle on their own

Need a plan of action?

If you’re ready to move past the endless wake-ups and teach your baby to sleep independently, my Sleep Coaching Crash Course (4-24 months) can help! This course walks you through exactly how to:

✅ Teach your baby to fall asleep independently in their crib
✅ Night wean (if needed) and reduce night wakings
✅ Follow a clear, day-by-day sleep training plan
✅ Feel confident and consistent—so your baby actually sleeps!

You don’t have to wait and hope for better sleep. You can take action today. Check out my sleep coaching program to get started. Let's teach your little one how to love sleep!

Nighttime fears can make bedtime feel extra exhausting for both you and your child. If you’ve ever found yourself in a cycle of reassurance, endless negotiations, or last-minute sleep disruptions, you’re not alone. But the way you respond to these fears plays a huge role in how your child processes them.

If you hesitate, over-comfort, or try to "solve" the fear, your child learns that fear = something to be scared of.

If you stay calm, set limits, and respond consistently, your child learns that fear = something they can handle.

So, how do you respond in a way that builds confidence instead of reinforcing fear? Here’s what I DO (and DON’T do) when my child is scared at night:

✅ DO: Talk about fears—but during the day

Addressing fears in a safe and neutral environment helps your child process them without triggering an immediate fear response. Daytime discussions allow for problem-solving and reassurance without bedtime anxiety taking over.

❌ DON’T: Engage in long bedtime discussions. If your child brings up their fears at bedtime, keep your response short and reassuring. The goal is to reinforce that they are safe—not to make fears feel bigger by diving into long conversations when they’re already in a heightened emotional state.

✅ DO: Stay calm, confident, and reassuring

Your child takes cues from you. If you remain composed and treat their fear as no big deal, they’ll be more likely to believe you. Confidence is contagious! For help with being confident and consistent, check out my free download: 6 scripts to end bedtime stalling

❌ DON’T: Waver or hesitate when setting limits. If your child asks to sleep with you and you say, “Probably not,” they’ll keep pushing for a different answer. Be clear, be firm, and reinforce that they are safe in their own bed.

✅ DO: Offer comforting strategies they can rely on

Provide your child with practical, tangible tools to feel secure at night. Some great options include:

• A special stuffed animal for comfort
• Deep breathing techniques
• Flipping their pillow as a “reset” cue

❌ DON’T: Use monster spray. While well-intentioned, tools like "monster spray" imply that protection is needed—reinforcing that their fears are real rather than helping them build confidence.

✅ DO: Expose them to their room in safe ways

Give your child small moments of exposure to their sleep environment in a fun, low-pressure way. Try playing in their dark room during the day with flashlights to help normalize the space.

❌ DON’T: Expect the fear to disappear overnight. Like all sleep skills, confidence takes practice. Be patient, stay consistent, and remind yourself that small steps forward are still progress.

Remember...

When you respond with confidence and consistency, your child learns: I am safe, and I can handle this.

If your toddler is suddenly struggling with sleep—even after being a great sleeper—there’s help. My Toddler Sleep Reset is designed for parents of 2-5-year olds facing new bedtime battles, night wakings, or early mornings.

Wondering why bedtime battles happen? If you’re negotiating with your child at bedtime every night, I’ve got some tough love for you…

You are the problem. Not your child.

I know, that stings a little. But hear me out—because the good news is, that means you also have the power to fix it.

Why negotiating at bedtime makes sleep harder

If you’ve ever found yourself saying:

❌ “I just couldn’t convince her to let me leave the room.”
❌ “He wouldn’t listen when I said it was bedtime.”
❌ “She kept asking for just one more book, one more sip of water, one more hug…”

…then bedtime has turned into a debate in your house. And that debate? That’s the real source of your sleep struggles.

Kids thrive on consistency. But when bedtime is a nightly negotiation, the message they’re getting isn’t “this is our bedtime routine,” it’s “I have to push and push to see if I can get more.”

So how do we fix this? By taking the negotiation out of bedtime completely. Here’s how:

Move bedtime to an age-appropriate time

One of the biggest mistakes parents make is pushing bedtime later and later, hoping it will make things easier. But here’s the truth:

A too-late bedtime leads to an overtired child, which leads to more resistance, more stalling, and more frustration for everyone.

Making sure bedtime is early enough (based on your child’s age and daily naptime) will set you up for success before you even start the routine.

Stick to the exact same bedtime routine—every. single. night.

Repetition is key. Your bedtime routine should be predictable and consistent, so your child knows exactly what to expect.

✔️ Keep it short (30 minutes max)
✔️ Follow the same steps in the same order
✔️ Make a bedtime chart if needed

The more consistent you are, the less pushback you’ll get. Eventually, your child will stop trying to test the limits because they’ll know you aren’t budging.

When it’s lights out, it’s lights out

This is where a lot of parents struggle. The routine is done, but then your child starts pulling out all the stops…

🚨 “Just one more story!”
🚨 “I need another hug!”
🚨 “I’m thirsty!”
🚨 “I have to go potty again!”

The second you engage in this back-and-forth, you’re reinforcing the idea that bedtime is up for negotiation. Instead, you have to make it clear:

⏳ The bedtime routine is over.
💡 The lights are out.
🚪 You’re leaving the room.

And once that happens, you’re done responding. No extra stories, no extra snacks, no extra attention.

The show is over if there’s no audience—so stop being the audience. 🤷‍♀️

Pssst! Need a little extra help with this one? Download my free sample scripts to end bedtime stalling here.

Validate feelings, but hold the boundary

Your child might not like bedtime. They might cry, yell, or protest. And that’s okay! Their feelings are valid.

But validating feelings doesn’t mean changing the boundary. You can acknowledge their frustration while still holding firm.

✔️ “I know you really want to keep playing, but sleep time is here.”

✔️ “You’re feeling upset, and I understand. But it’s time for bed.”

✔️ “Snuggle time is over for tonight. We can snuggle as much as you want in the morning though.”

✔️ “It’s hard when things don’t go the way we want, but our bodies need rest.”

No negotiating. No debating. Just a calm, confident response—and then, bedtime stays bedtime.

Imagine a bedtime without battles…

No more “just five more minutes.”
No more “one more story.”
No more endless back-and-forth.

It is possible. And if bedtime is a struggle in your house, I can help.

Parents tend to get very stressed out about Daylight Saving Time each year. But the good news is that springing forward is much easier on families than falling back! Yay!

In this quick blog (or episode if you prefer to listen) I walk you through the basics with 3 different approaches you can chose from depending on your unique situation. Don't forget to head to the blog link below and get your screen grabs for easy referencing!

*This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my privacy and disclosure statement for more information.

Option #1 for time change

Who should use this option?

• If morning life for you is pretty laid back and you don't have morning appointments that you need to get up and ready for
• OR if you have a child who is waking earlier than you'd like

This one is real simple. Don't change anything and just let them sleep in on Sunday! I'd still wake them by 8am but otherwise, let them sleep in! (Keep in mind, sleeping until 8am on Sunday will actually feel like 7am to their bodies)

Then go on with your day from there. If you use wake windows, continue to use them like usual. If you have set nap times, you'll need to shift them later according to how late your child slept in the morning. But that's it! Easy breezy!

Option #2 for time change

Who should use this option?

• If you have places to be in the mornings so you can't just let your child sleep in
• Also, if your child doesn't seem to be sensitive to schedule changes
• Or if your child is 18 months or older

This one requires little to no prep. Do everything normally with their schedule leading up to Sunday and the time change. On Sunday, you will wake them up at the usual time (according to the clock). So if morning wake up is usually 7am, you will wake them up at that time- even though to their body, that will really feel like 6am.

Then go about your day like usual. No fuss! Use your usual wake windows or your usual set nap times. *This is what me and my family do!*

Option #3 for time change

Who should use this option?

• If you prefer a more gradual approach to time changes
• If your child is younger
• Or if your child is more sensitive to schedule changes

This is the slightly more gradual approach. We still aren't going to spend a ton of time and energy shifting the schedule because that's honestly just making it more complicated than it needs to be! But we are going to spend 2 days adjusting the schedule to be a bit more gradual.

On Sunday, let your child sleep until 30 minutes later according to the clock. So if your child usually wakes at 6:30am, you will let them sleep until 7am on Sunday. This will make everything on Sunday feel like it's shifted roughly 30 minutes later as well- including bedtime.

Then on Monday, wake your child up at their old, usual wake up time. From my example above, that would be 6:30am. Then the rest of your day will fall into place like your typical daily schedule.

Important Reminder

With the clocks changing, it is going to be light in the evenings at bedtime. You need to ensure your child's room is plenty dark at bedtime. I highly recommend BlackoutEZ Window Covers if you need a better window solution. If you need a cheap, quick fix then aluminum foil works wonders! Tape it up over the windows and it completely blocks out all the light!

Bottom line, we need to block the sun from coming into their room at bedtime or else they may have a harder time falling asleep in the evening.

If you have a toddler or preschooler, you will want to start talking to the now about the time change to prep them. This doesn't need to be a high level conversation but something simple: "Winter is almost over and it's almost spring! Yay! That means the sun will stay out later too."

Then you can have the conversation that even though the sun is out later, it is still bedtime according to the clock. Then hold firm with your boundaries if they struggle to adjust. They will get there!

If you’ve spent any time researching baby sleep, you’ve probably come across some opinions about sleep training. And let’s be honest—some of them can sound pretty extreme.

❌ “Sleep training is just ignoring your baby.”
❌ “It’s a traumatic experience.”
❌ “It’s only a thing because of modern society and the patriarchy.”

But here’s the truth: You’ve been lied to.

Let’s break down five of the biggest myths about sleep training and what you actually need to know.

Lie #1: What’s best for the baby is all that matters

It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that the only thing that matters is what’s “best” for the baby. But here’s the reality: What’s best for baby isn’t actually best for baby if mom is suffering.

Your physical and mental health matters too. When you’re exhausted, burned out, and struggling, that impacts your baby just as much as their sleep does. Prioritizing your well-being isn’t selfish—it’s essential.

Lie #2: Sleep training is just ignoring your baby’s cries

One of the biggest misconceptions is that sleep training means walking away and never looking back. But if that were true, it wouldn’t be called a sleep training method.

Sleep training is about teaching your baby independent sleep skills while still responding to them. Do the responses look different from how you’ve been handling sleep? Of course. But sleep training doesn’t mean neglect—it means helping your baby (and yourself) get the rest you need.

Lie #3: Sleep training is too stressful for babies

Let’s be real: Life is stressful. And while we don’t want to stress our babies unnecessarily, we also can’t protect them from every little challenge.

Learning to sleep independently might be frustrating for your child at first, but that doesn’t mean it’s harmful. Think about all the things we expect our kids to learn—using a car seat, brushing their teeth, eating solid foods. Some of these come with discomfort and pushback, but they’re still necessary skills.

Lie #4: Falling asleep alone is a traumatic experience

I have to tell you, as a foster parent, this lie absolutely infuriates me. Trauma is a real thing that unfortunately, many children do go through as they grow up. But I struggle not to roll my eyes when sleep training is referred to as causing trauma. 

There’s a big difference between learning something new and experiencing trauma. Falling asleep independently may be different from what your baby is used to, and they might not love the change right away. But calling it trauma? That’s a big stretch.

A well-rested baby in a loving home, learning a new skill with supportive parents? That’s not trauma—that’s growth. 

Lie #5: Sleep training is a product of Western ideals & the patriarchy

One argument against sleep training is that it only exists because of Western work schedules and societal pressures. And while those factors might play a role in why some parents decide to sleep train, they aren’t the only reasons.

At the end of the day, your job isn’t to fix society. Your job is to do what’s best for your family. If that means sleep training so you can function as a better parent, then that’s what you should do—regardless of what the anti-sleep training crowd says.

So where does that leave us?

Next time you come across anti-sleep training rhetoric on your feed, remember this:

✔️ Taking care of yourself is part of taking care of your baby.
✔️ Sleep training doesn’t mean ignoring your child.
✔️ All stress is not created equal- there is such a thing as positive stress.
✔️ Learning to sleep independently isn’t traumatic.
✔️ You don’t need to carry the weight of society’s flaws on your shoulders.

So if sleep training is the right choice for your family, go for it—guilt-free. 💛

Sleep training expectations... ah, the blissful world of dreams and ideal scenarios! While it's tempting to live in a bubble of wishful thinking when it comes to baby and toddler sleep, the reality can be quite different. 🤪 If you’ve been diving into the sea of information on sleep training, you might be swimming with some lofty expectations.

Let’s set the record straight with a refreshing dose of reality—sorry, not sorry! 😅 But you’ll appreciate this tough love later, I promise. While dreaming of a perfect sleeper can be comforting, these high expectations can lead to disappointment during the sleep training process and prevent you from recognizing the progress your little one is actually making.

Let’s break down some common expectations versus the realities of baby and toddler sleep training, along with my advice to help you navigate this journey.

Sleep training expectation 1: It should only take about 3 nights of sleep training for all my baby’s sleep issues to be fixed.

Reality: Three nights is often not enough to resolve all sleep problems for most families.

My Advice: Approach sleep training with a two-week timeframe in mind. This duration allows you to establish a new rhythm and gives your baby the time they need to adjust to changes. Remember, consistency is key, and it might take a little longer to see significant results.

Sleep training expectation 2: Soon my baby will be sleeping 12-hour nights every single night!

Reality: Not all babies are capable of sleeping 12 hours straight, and that’s completely normal.

My Advice: Set a more reasonable goal of around 10 to 12 hours of sleep, depending on your baby’s age and needs. Understand that every child is different, and their sleep patterns can vary. Focus on creating a positive sleep environment, and let’s see what unfolds!

Sleep training expectation 3: Once I sleep train, my child will follow an exact schedule every single day.

Reality: While sleep training can help create more predictable sleep patterns, don’t expect your child to adhere to a rigid schedule.

My Advice: Keep in mind that we are raising little humans, not robots! Flexibility is essential, and small variations in sleep times are entirely normal. Embrace the ebb and flow of your child’s natural rhythm.

Sleep training expectation 4: If I use a really gradual sleep training method, then I won’t have to hear any crying!

Reality: Even the most gradual “no-cry” methods may involve some tears.

My Advice: Don’t fear crying—it’s a natural emotional response from your child as they adapt to sleep changes. Understand that your child is expressing their feelings, and that’s okay! Being there to support them through these emotions is crucial, and it doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.

Baby monitors have become a must-have for modern parents, offering peace of mind and a chance to peek in on your little one without disturbing their rest. (This is my personal favorite right now) Many of these monitors come equipped with a talk back feature, allowing you to speak directly to your baby or toddler through the monitor. At first glance, it seems like an easy way to soothe your child without stepping into their room.

But before you hit that button, let’s talk about why less is often more when it comes to baby and toddler sleep. Here are two reasons why using the talk back feature might not be as helpful as it seems—and what to do instead for better results.

Reason #1: It can scare your child

Picture this: You’re lying in a dark room, trying to fall asleep, and suddenly you hear a voice speaking to you—yet there’s no one around. Spooky, right?

For many babies and toddlers, hearing a disembodied voice through the baby monitor can feel just as unsettling. They might not understand where the sound is coming from or why they can hear you but not see you. Instead of calming them, the talk back feature can create confusion or even fear, making it harder for them to settle down.

Young children thrive on connection, but that connection is often strongest when it’s face-to-face. If your child needs comfort, consider physically going into their room instead of relying on the monitor. A reassuring touch or your calm presence can be much more effective than an unfamiliar, out-of-context voice.

Reason #2: It sets an expectation for immediate responses

Using the talk back feature can unintentionally create a new sleep challenge: the expectation that every time your child stirs, they’ll hear your voice right away.

This can quickly lead to a cycle where your child begins to wake more frequently, expecting interaction each time. While it may seem harmless at first, it can escalate into a habit where your little one starts "chatting" with you through the monitor during the night, rather than self-settling back to sleep.

Consistency is key to helping children develop independent sleep skills. When you avoid the talk back feature, you’re teaching your child that nighttime is for rest—not for conversations, negotiations, or back-and-forth interactions.

What to do instead

If your child truly needs comfort in the middle of the night, it’s better to go into their room and soothe them directly. A brief visit where you calmly reassure them with your presence and words can work wonders without adding confusion or creating new habits.

A few tips for in-person reassurance:

• Don't rush right into their room. Instead pause, listen, and see if they can resettle without you first. Delaying gratification is key with habitual wakings.
• Keep the lights dim or off to maintain a sleepy atmosphere.
• Use a gentle, soothing voice to reassure them.
• Keep interactions brief to avoid overstimulation.

This approach not only provides the connection your child needs but also gives them the space to fall back asleep without, build confidence in being alone in their room, and helps reinforce healthy sleep boundaries.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the idea of sleep training your little one, you’re not alone! Many parents share the same worries and uncertainties, but I'm here to help you navigate this journey with confidence. Sleep training is a valuable tool that can lead to better sleep for both your baby and yourself. Not only do I have some quick answers to your most asked questions about sleep training, but I also have linked a lot of good, free resources to dive even deeper into these answers. Let’s tackle some of the most frequently asked questions to hopefully make the process less intimidating before you get started. 

Will sleep training hurt my bond with my baby?

One of the most common concerns parents have is whether sleep training will negatively impact their relationship with their baby. The answer is a resounding no! In fact, sleep training can strengthen your bond as both you and your baby get the rest you need. A well-rested parent is more emotionally available, attentive, loving, and attuned, which can enhance the connection you have with your little one. So, rest assured, prioritizing sleep is a way to nurture your relationship. To see the research that backs up this answer, head to this blog.

How do I know if we are ready for sleep training?

If sleep feels like a struggle and your current habits seem unsustainable, you are likely ready to consider sleep training. Signs that it's time include frequent night wakings, difficulty falling asleep, or an increasingly cranky baby due to lack of rest. Remember, sleep is crucial for your baby's development, so if it’s becoming a challenge, it’s time to explore your options. I talk more in depth about 4 reasons you might be ready to sleep train here.

How long will sleep training take?

The duration of sleep training can vary depending on your family’s situation and the approach you choose. However, many families report small improvements within just a few days and by 2 weeks of consistency, many families feel they are settling into new habits and already enjoying the benefits of sleep coaching. The key is commitment and consistency. It may seem daunting initially, but with dedication, you’ll be on your way to better sleep before you know it!

Is it okay if my baby cries during sleep training?

It is absolutely normal for crying to occur as your baby learns a new way routine and a new way to fall asleep. Think of it as part of the learning process. You’ll be right there providing comfort and support as they navigate this new skill. Remember, you’re not abandoning your child; you’re teaching them a valuable tool for sleep. I know that crying can be a big hang-up for parents when thinking about sleep training so I have put together this great resource for you all about how to re-frame your thoughts on crying here and here.

What if my baby wakes up hungry in the night?

Nighttime feeds are completely normal for babies, especially in the early months. Sleep training focuses on reducing unnecessary wakings while still allowing for those essential feeds. If your baby is genuinely hungry, it’s important to meet that need. The goal is to create a balance that supports both their nutritional needs and their ability to sleep well. Not sure if your baby is actually hungry overnight or just eating out of habit or comfort? See this blog to find out!

What if my baby is teething or going through a regression? Should I wait to sleep train?

You can absolutely still pursue sleep training during teething or developmental regressions! There’s rarely a “perfect time” for sleep training, as there will always be bumps along the road. Instead of waiting for ideal conditions, consider using gentle sleep training methods that can accommodate your baby’s changing needs. Flexibility is key but don't wait for the "perfect time" to get started or you might find you still haven't made the time until your baby is a preschooler (or older)! Also, I've created this free handy sleep regression flowchart that I think every parent should have! Check it out here.
