Here is some good news. Some babies and children are minimally impacted by the change.

By notice, I mean that unfortunately they won’t be sleeping as well as they typically do. This is temporary, and I am going to give you some practical advice to restore sleep normalcy in your house ..read more

The online Sleep NEEDS Program© is launching May 2017 here at Baby Sleep Central! This video is an introduction of what you can expect! I have been blessed to work closely with over 500 families during the past few years.

Most children sleep nearly half to a third of their day, and it is no surprise that what they are doing with their remaining wake time plays a big factor into their night sleep.

Did you know that your baby has a specific Wake Time Allowance? It's true! This is essentially the amount of time your child can be awake before requiring another sleep period. One of the most common exhausted sentiments I hear from parents is this: “My baby just won’t sleep”.
