Welcoming a new baby into your life is a joyous and fulfilling experience. As a parent, understanding your baby's needs, especially when it comes to sleep, is crucial for their well-being. One challenge many parents face is deciphering whether their baby is overtired or undertired. In this blog, we'll explore the subtle cues and signs that can help you identify whether your little one needs more sleep or is ready for some longer period of being awake.

While there is nothing inherently “wrong” with these products, in my experience working with families I have found that at best they’re anxiety provoking and at worst encourage unsafe sleep practices.

We all know sleep is vitally important, both for your child to develop, learn and grow and for you to be the best version of yourself while parenting.

By ensuring that these other pieces are in place you can rest assured that with a little support and consistency your little one can and will reach their sleep goals!
