One of the most commonly overlooked aspects of sleep when it comes to sleep training is a baby's schedule.
Often the first thought when trying to improve a child's sleep is which sleep training method to use. But, successful sleep training is much more than just figuring out how you will or will not respond to your child at a time for sleep.
In this episode, you can expect the following:
> brief review of what healthy sleep means or, as I like to call it, "CATRing to your child's age".
> brief review of the acronym ESRA+, pronounced ez-ruh-plus. This is a term to help you remember the five main areas to consider when evaluating your child's sleep and creating an effective sleep plan.
> description of five circadian rhythms that contribute to sleep development.
> list of five major influencers on the circadian rhythms. Aka? Influencers of sleep and timing of sleepl.
Note that this episode is only half of the story! This episode will be followed by a part two.

Whether you have a child under one year of age now, are expecting, or work with younger children? This episode is for you. It is never too early or frequent to learn about safe sleep. But it can be too late.
Learn or review the nineteen guidelines provided by the most researched, knowledge based, empirical reference we have when it comes to safe sleep. The American Association of Pediatrics. Along with this review, there will be an emphasis on the guidelines that commonly cause confusion for people and that many influencers and professionals seem to either not know or decide to ignore when giving sleep advice.
Even if this isn't new to you, repetition is the key! Even Sleep Consultants like myself take safe sleep classes over and over again.

In this episode of the After the Stork Podcast, you will learn about the common misconception that a child will just start sleeping through the night whenever they are ready.
While yes, some children do this. Many do not. Many need you, the parent, to take responsibility in creating the components necessary for them to sleep well.
Your child cannot control their sleep environment or when you place them into their crib for sleep. Your child does not know the importance of sleep for their little bodies and how to improve it.
Just like it is up to us to provide our children with nutritious food and vaccinations. And like it is up to us to provide our children the space and opportunity to fall down and get back up when learning to walk because it is necessary in their learning of the skill. The same is necessary for sleep!

In this episode you will learn about the common misconception that sleep training means getting rid of all night feedings, potentially depriving a child of food. You will learn about the realistic expectations to set for night feedings and sleep, what to consider when deciding whether or not to keep night feedings, and the steps for how to go about sleep training if keeping night feedings.
If your child has night feedings and you are considering sleep training, this episode is for you!
If you are a professional who works with parents who have younger children who have night feedings, this episode is also for you!
Unfortunately, the idea of sleep training is not fully understood by a lot of people outside of the sleep realm and, thus, there is negative energy around it that passes onto parents. And that negative energy often stems from misconceptions like the one mentioned here.
Join me to learn about the reality of night feedings when working to improve sleep and, together, let's change the narrative so that parents know they have options.

The start to Daylight Saving Time is approaching! This means we spring forward an hour on the clock, "losing" an hour of sleep from Saturday, March 13th to Sunday, March 14th. For example, what is now 6:30AM will become 7:30AM.
You might be tempted to have your child sleep in on Sunday. And this MIGHT be a good option for your child. However, if you need to keep your child on the same current clock schedule, you will want to consider how you plan to help your child adjust to the new time.
You can help your child gradually adjust to time change in a few of ways. This episode and the free Sleep Guide for the Spring Time Change covers four options.

Often when the words sleep training spill out of someone’s mouth or from their fingertips to the keyboard, many automatically assume that the individual is referring to cry-it-out or CIO as you will see it often written. So this episode is all about debunking this myth that sleep training means cry-it-out. Cry-it-out, or another term for it unmodified extinction, is only one of so many options. Before choosing which level of involvement and specific sleep training method you will use, reflect on the five questions presented in this episode. And remember! Sleep training is more than just choosing a method.
