Podcasts about baby sleep

Is your baby struggling with sleep, and you're wondering if it's normal or something more? In this episode, I sit down with Michelle Connor, Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant and founder of Sleepy Head Solutions, to discuss sleep abnormalities in babies—what's normal, what's not, and when to seek help.Michelle shares expert insights on: 

Dr. Carole Keim discusses baby apps and electronics in this episode, exploring what is helpful and what isn't necessary. Dr. Keim says that not much is really needed in terms of electronics for babies. The things she recommends include baby trackers, baby monitors, white noise machines, Kindle for mom, and aromatherapy diffusers to aid with sleep. She details what each app or electronic item does and highlights specific brands and best use practices.Baby tracker apps are helpful because they track how many times babies are eating, peeing, and pooping to ensure they're doing enough. Useful apps for moms include a Kindle or audiobook, so reading can be done while feeding. Dr. Keim breaks down all the types of baby monitors and sorts through the best to use in terms of convenience, expense, and video versus audio. She also explores electronic bulb suckers and why they can be more helpful than manual versions and the benefits of essentail oil diffusers. There are not a lot of electronics needed, which makes this episode so useful in sorting through the myriad of ads and options available.In this episode:AppsBaby tracker - feeding, peeing, poopingWonder weeksSolid starts app for baby led weaning Kindle app for mom Audiobooks or podcasts for mom Don't need: owlet ElectronicsBaby monitor with 2 parent units for sound / video baby monitorWhite noise machine - Hatch sound machine + rest go, or any portable white noise machineElectric bulb suckerMobile for over the changing tableDiffuser for essential oils (listen to season 3 for specifics on oils)Don't need: special music for baby, humidifier, video monitor (though it can be nice to have in addition to a regular monitor), snoo bassinet As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.Dr. Keim has extensively researched the information presented in this episode.

Welcome to the 51st episode of Thriving Parenting. I'm truly grateful to be part of your journey and to share the parenting wisdom I've gathered over nearly 13 years. In today's episode, I'm diving into three quick win areas that can dramatically improve your baby's sleep with minimal extra effort. These areas are:1. Sleep EnvironmentI've found that setting up the right sleep environment is an absolute game changer. I chat about how darkening your baby's room—even just about 80% during day sleeps—can help them transition through their sleep cycles more easily.2. Sleep PressureThe natural biological drive that tells our little ones it's time to sleep. I share insights from my free sleep cheat guide, which gives average awake times as a guide to help avoid having either overtired or under-tired babies. 3. HungerIt might sound simple, but ensuring your baby is well fed is a crucial part of the sleep equation. I discuss how distracted feeding can lead to reduced calorie intake during the day, which might then lead to more frequent wake-ups at night. I also share some very personal moments from my parenting journey. From recording my son's transitioning voice to delicately helping my daughter let go of her treasured teddies, I reveal the bittersweet realities of watching our children grow. It's a reminder that even on the tough days, every little win adds up, and we're all just doing our best to thrive as a family.“Children do not experience our intentions, no matter how heartfelt. Instead, they experience our tone, behaviour, and actions.”A less stressed parent is truly the best parent, and by making these small changes, we can all feel a bit more at ease.If you're looking for some extra support or want to chat about your unique baby sleep challenges, do check out my free sleep clarity session.

Ciarra and Samantha have special guest midwife Leonora Colen back discuss the complexities of high-risk pregnancies. What an OB/GYN considers high risk can be completely different than high risk in the midwifery setting. Leonora emphasizes the importance of risk assessment over the label of 'high risk.' Together they explore common reasons for risk assessment, such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes, and highlight factors that are often misunderstood as high risk. The discussion also underscores the significance of childbirth education and the need for trust between expectant parents and their healthcare providers. Ultimately, the conversation aims to empower parents to make informed choices during pregnancy and childbirth. Website: www.HomeBirthHoney.com IG: @‌HomeBirthHoneyATX Please feel free to reach out to us with any recommendations for show episode ideas.

There are so many unrealistic expectations perpetuated about older baby sleep that it's no wonder that so many parents are confused and overwhelmed about what's going on. This episode is the third in my series on realistic expectations. While you hear a lot about older babies sleeping through the night and not feeding, the reality (and research) tells a very different story. In this episode I help you understand what's normal and some of the reasons why sleep is very dynamic during this time.
