Screams to Dreams Sleep Consulting

Honored to have helped another family get some well deserved rest! 😴

Due to popular demand from my busy second time+ moms, here are some examples of overlapping nap schedules! Lining up multiple sibling’s days to allow for enough rest for everyone can be a tricky form of mental math and logistics, so please use these samples as a starting point and tweak as needed.

Don’t forget, taking care of YOU is important too! Encouraging independent sleep and introducing independent play/quiet time for your older kiddos who no longer nap can allow you some midday time for self care, productivity, or anything you need! I’m here to help if you need some guidance ☺️

We completely transformed this family’s sleep in 3 weeks!

✅ Moved into crib from parent’s bed
✅ Independently falls asleep
✅ Smooth & quick bedtime
✅ Night weaned
✅ Sleeps through the night!

Thrilled to see this family sleeping better after 18 long months! 🥳 Ready to break the exhaustion cycle? Let’s chat!

Yes, teething can cause some *temporary* sleep disruptions, but it is not the root cause of ongoing sleep issues! If it’s been weeks (or months 🫣) of rough sleep and you feel like it’s got to be due to teething, this post is for you!

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays from my family to yours 🤍

A little late night post & sharing some personal journaling:

This past month was the end of a huge chapter. I nursed my final baby for the last time & those last precious frozen ounces are now gone. As I was winding down my pumping, I added a heart to symbolize the immense love poured into every single effort it took to exclusively breastfeed all three of my babies. A true labor of love.

While my body is forever changed, I’m so proud of everything it has done. Grew, delivered, and nourished 3 of my favorite humans and biggest blessings. The respect I hold is endless and I find I am kinder to myself now with all these “imperfections” than I ever was in my younger, pre-mom body.

Motherhood is a messy, wonderful thing. And while it’s very bittersweet to leave this chapter behind for good, I’m incredibly excited for what lies ahead. The best is yet to come 💜

{and shoutout to my husband for sneaking this photo for me. I will always hold it close to my heart}

Can’t figure out if your little one is over or undertired? I can promise you one thing, you aren’t alone! Nailing an appropriate wake time and routine for your baby can make or break quality sleep, but it can feel confusing as all get out 🤷🏼‍♀️

Save this chart for the next time you are doing mental gymnastics, calculating wake windows, determining ideal room conditions, planet alignment, etc. to help spot signs so you know which direction to take to get some glorious, restful sleep for your child.

If you are struggling with naps, bedtime battles, frequent night wakings, or all of the above - I can help. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness 💜 Check out the link in my bio to schedule a discovery call!

Another happy, rested family 🙌🏻

Here’s to finishing off the week on a high note, TGIF! What weekend fun does your family have planned? I’m predicting a lot of splash pad action 🥵

While I’m sure I am much more of a sleep nerd than others (do what you love, right? 😂), study after study is continuing to reinforce just how important sleep is for everyone!

But it’s especially important for our growing children. So here are 5 important reasons to prioritize your little one’s sleep 👆🏻

If you feel your family isn’t getting as much rest as needed, shoot me a message so we can chat! Having a clear plan + support can take away some of the uncertainty and second guessing that all parents face.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing and strong women raising littles! Motherhood is the most challenging, yet joyful & rewarding privilege. Enjoy your day! {and get some rest!} 🤍

Infant sleep can be tricky, but avoiding these 5 common mistakes can lead to a better rested family! Confession, I made ALL these mistakes with my first babe. But it’s truly never too late to turn sleep around!
