Tips from a Sleep Consultant: How to Get our Kids to Sleep, Naps, Bedtime Routine, Nightlights, etc. with Samantha Day The Soul Mammas Podcast

- Kids & Family
Ughh. . .sleep depravation is the pits. It can exacerbate anxiety and cause all kinds of stress within a household. Is sleep something that has become a problem in your house? Do you have babies, toddlers or kids that you've deemed "just not good sleepers?" I certainly do.
I didn't get ANY sleep postpartum (for like 2 years for that matter). As a matter of fact, the nights where I finally did get 8 hours were so few and far between I was literally surprised by how good I felt the next day.
So what did I do? I consulted the sleep trainer on the show today, and thank goodness I did! Her name is Samantha Day and her advice changed my entire outlook on sleep! For instance, did you know that when babies or toddlers nap at the WRONG times or stay up even a tad too late, their bodies are filled with cortisol and makes for even more sleep resistance or disturbed sleep?
Samantha Day is a wife and fellow mom of 2 kiddos. She is also a children's behavior specialist, certified sleep expert, host of the Happy Days Rested Nights parenting podcast and author of two children's books that model healthy sleep habits. Her passion is connecting with families and guiding them to a rested and happy home in a way that fits their family.
Today she is going to share with us:
Why our kids aren't just "good" or "bad" sleepers How we can vet our kids to sleep longer Why almost all children require 11 to 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night How napping at the wrong times, under or over sleeping can affect overnight sleep Why schedules and routines are so important for little ones Why nightlights are okay How our bodies actually produce cortisol when overtired. How she became an unexpected entrepreneur Why to follow your passions New PDF on the website https://www.soulmammas.com Pick Up your Freebie on Stepping into your Soul as Mammas today!
