The Snooze Button: Baby & Toddler Sleep, Simplified

Oh God you guys, where do I begin?! This episode is inspired by a request I got from a news outlet yesterday. They wanted a quote from me on a new trend where parents offer kids butter in order to help them sleep at night. Oye. No? No, no that's not the answer.So today, I'm sharing my top 10 things you do NOT need to buy to help with sleep, and why. Butter (and all other foods) are on the list! You guys submitted some great ones yesterday on Instagram, which I've included as well. I hope this episode saves you some time, money, and shoe leather, walking to the store to buy things that will do nothing but stress you out. And when you're ready to try something that will actually work? You know where to find me ;)In this episode, I mentioned two other Snooze Button episodes you may want to check out, they're listed below:A Deep Dive Into Safe Baby Sleep & Preventing SUIDsEverything You Need To Know About The SNOO & The FDALoved this episode?

Permission to ignore anyone telling you to "just wait" until your great sleeper is destroyed by a dreaded sleep regression. Why? I'm so glad you asked.

Good things come to those who work for it - and sleep is no exception. Today I'm sharing with you the conversations I so often have with clients when things feel HARD. Because, spoiler, just like anything else completely life changing, giving your child the gift of sleep can feel really hard! Resisting the urge to constantly intervene or tweak things, and trusting the process, are the best, and only, HACKS to emerging on the other side with an incredibly happy baby or toddler who sleeps and eats like a dream. I hope this motivates any family that's on the fence about improving their child's sleep - it won't be easy, but it will be incredible.Loved this episode?

This week's episode deals with the topic of preventing SUIDs/SIDS/infant loss. Please listen with care.This week, The New York Times published an article about the sudden and unexpected rise in SUIDs (Sudden Unexplained Infant Death) in the US, hypothesizing about the potential causes of this very unfortunate trend. So there was no better time than now to dig into the topic.In this episode I'll share my experience working with newborn & baby clients, who often come to me inadvertently in unsafe sleep situations, and why I think that happens so often. I'll also share some of the examples you guys gave of unsafe sleep practices you didn't know about until you found me, and finally - I'll fully unpack the AAP safe sleep guidelines so it's hopefully easier for you to make informed decisions about your baby's sleep!In today's episode, I talk a lot about following AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) safe sleep guidelines. You can find that list here.Loved this episode?

"She woke up for 15 minutes during her nap...WHY? How can I make her sleep?" "He played for 20 minutes with his trucks after bedtime, how can I make him sleep instead?" These are total normal questions I get from clients, and here is what I tell them, and I want you to know: You can't. You cannot control your child's eyelids closing and falling asleep. Moreso, I don't want you to, and I don't care at all if either of the above scenarios occur. These are totally normal things!In today's episode, I want to help you release the urge to try and make your baby or toddler the perfect sleeper. No one is. Instead? My goal through the process for any client (and anyone listening to this!) is that your child is given the gift of knowing how to put themselves to sleep (and back to sleep when they wake!) and you, as the parent, have the gift of being able to release. Release the urge to feel that you should or even can control their exact sleep stats (leave me alone, Nanit!) and instead have the confidence that you A) are offering your child sleep at times that are appropriate B) trusting your child has the skills and will do with that time what they want and C) you have the tools to know when to make a change or seek help if something changes that is really abnormal.

Probably one of the most universally felt feelings that parents (especially Moms) don't want to talk about - when you're secretly (or openly!) pining for one gender and your baby ends up being the other.In today's episode, lets unpack it, judgement free! We'll dive into how common this is, why we feel this way, what we can do to help reframe it, what NOT to say to a parent who has (in your perception) a child with the gender you think they didn't want. I'll also share the results of the online poll I posted about gender preference. If nothing else, I hope this makes anyone experiencing some gender grief less alone, and gives the rest of us some framework to support those who may be experiencing it.Loved this episode?

Please note this week's episode deals with the topic of child loss and may be sensitive for some listeners. If that is not the case for you, I implore you to listen to Myra's story. I'm going to be honest: I was scared to read this book. But I did, and it may be the most though provoking, heartbreaking, beautiful and important books I've ever read. For Myra Sack and her husband Matt, the mundane exhaustion and confusion of early parenthood came to a grinding halt just after their daughter Havi's first birthday, when she received a fatal medical diagnosis. For the next year, their grief was layered with a dedication to show Havi as much of the good life as they could, and converting their Friday Shabbats into "Shabbirthdays" - honoring the birthdays Havi would never have. Myra sat down with me this week to share Havi's story, the inspiration for her book "​Fifty Seven Fridays: Losing Our Daughter, Finding Our Way​" and her work as the founder of ​E-Motion​, a nonprofit organization created to support community, movement and ritual to enhance coping and resilience.If you've ever know a grieving parent, and haven't know exactly what to say (aka 100% of us) - this episode is an absolute must listen. You will come away with some great new analogies (The Loss Olympics), ways to reframe how you think about a child who is dying (Sacred, Not Scary), and most importantly, how to show up for people when they really need you not to shy away.Loved this episode?

Putting our newborns on their backs has been a lifesaving change in pediatrics, with one small (very small - keep doing it!) downside - all those great sleeping back sleepers sometimes get a bit of a flat head. Time panic? Not so, says Jennifer Barnard, the founder of Baby Begin, whose mission is to simplify plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) and torticollis (tight neck), empowering parents with evidenced based information to make the best decisions for their baby.In this week's episode, Jennifer sits down with me to explain more about why and when plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) and torticollis (tight neck) often occur, what parents can do to prevent and treat, and most importantly - if you are in a situation that requires a helmet for your baby - that's ok too (and frankly, it's quite adorable IMHO).

Today I'm sharing how, at a high level, I successfully potty trained my youngest child, Delaney, just two weeks ago! I'll share what I did before, why I chose to do it at this time, the wins and blips we experienced, and how this experience differed from what I did with her big brothers (especially my oldest son).Whether you're in the depths of potty training hell or just curious about how and when to start the process, my Potty Services are here for you!

This is the episode for anyone whose nanny or mother in law told them something like...."sleep training causes brain damage", or "I can't believe you're doing xyz, I could never." Few things are as deflating and stressful to a parent as someone else in their life, especially someone who has experience with children, telling them that not only did the make the wrong choice, but they made a choice that is somehow harmless or mean to their child. As if we don' t have enough damn Mom guilt already!This episode is not a list of come back or links to a million studies you can share to try to prove your point. We're not going to try and convince anyone to agree with us today. Instead, I'm arming you with the tools to stick with a POV that you feel aligned with, to be careful with who you hire and allow into your home, and how to (kindly) hold boundaries with friends or family members who try to undermine your choices. No matter what - remember that you are an incredible parent who deserves to be supported by those around him/her!Loved this episode?

Buy Less...and Dress To Impress? Fashion editor turned style icon Harling Ross Anton is here to drop some serious shopping knowledge (and share her sleep & happiness transformation after working with me as a client!)Sometimes choosing not to purchase something is as satisfying as choosing to purchase it. So says my lovely client Harling Ross Anton, the former Man Repeller editor turned Gumshoe creator & writer. Harling joined me on The Snooze Button this week to share her expertise on how to hunt for hidden gems (spoiler - shop off season), why fabrics and measurements matter so much, and even how to shop for pregnancy and baby clothes. We also chatted about Harling's experience working with me to improve her baby's son's sleep & feeding challenges - I can say personally, it's a really special transformation story. Whether you are fashion forward or starved for style, this is an episode you won't want to miss!Want to learn more of Harling's tips for vintage and small brand shopping?

Do you ever feel pressure to subscribe to ALL aspects of the persona you've adopted as a parent? Have you labeled yourself "A Tiger Mom" "A Crunchy Mom" "A Stay At Home Mom" and noticed you're pulling away (even subconsciously) from behaviors or activities that you think don't align with that identity? Now's the time to stop and go do that thing. Whether you're a crunchy Mom who kinda wants to dabble in Botox or a tiger Mom doesn't actually want to send her kids to Kumon this summer, I hope this episode gives you the push to create your own unique identity, so you can lean into your true self and so your kids are empowered one day to do the same.
