How do I encourage healthy sleep habits? Do healthy sleep habits just develop on their own? Is allowing some crying okay or is it a firm none at all? Am I ruining my child if we co-sleep, or am I ruining them if we don\u2019t? So many questions! What\u2019s even worse? There\u2019s a lot more answers, and they\u2019re all different\u2026<\/p>\n<p>It can be quite frustrating when you\u2014as a new parent\u2014have questions and need answers, and all you get are dozens of conflicting opinions. Everyone\u2019s got one! Each one\u2019s different. This can easily lead to BABY OVERWHELM.<\/p>\n<p>You know when you\u2019re immobilized with fear. Fear that anything you do for your child might be the \u201cwrong thing\u201d to do. It\u2019s a terrible feeling!<\/p>\n<p>If your child has sleep issues, you have sleep issues too. Many parents get irritable, and have low energy at night. Not surprising since you\u2019re probably tired from having to get up in the middle of the night so much. It\u2019s also easy to get depressed or anxious about it, worrying why your child won\u2019t sleep and what to do. It\u2019s no wonder that parents get baby overwhelm. We all just want what\u2019s best for our babies!<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to sleep advice \u2013 woozers!!! There\u2019s no shortage of advice out there, that\u2019s for sure. I bet you\u2019ve noticed! Grandma tells stories of co-sleeping with your mom. Your mom tells you all the things she did to train you. Then the in-laws chime in with how your husband got trained. The list goes on and on\u2014and that\u2019s just advice from your family! Friends with kids, they\u2019ve always got something to say. Acquaintances at baby groups too. There are countless sleep books on the market, and of course the mighty internet!<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to all of the questions about your child\u2019s sleep habits\u2014and the piles of answers to choose from\u2014you shouldn\u2019t have to stress about it but I know that\u2019s easier said than done.<\/p>\n<p>Will others judge you or criticize your decision to seek help? Maybe. Does it matter? Nope. I don\u2019t like hearing about people who feel they need to hide \u201cin the closet\u201d over their choice to sleep train their child. Do what feels right for you, as only you can decide what\u2019s best for your baby. It\u2019s <em>your<\/em> baby after all.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to change any sleep habits in your baby, remember the choice is yours\u2014not your friends and family. The nice part is, once you\u2019re ready to make some changes, I\u2019ll be here to help you out! You don\u2019t have to do it alone. I\u2019m here to help you make a transition from chronic sleep deprivation to a renewed sense of being. As a parent with baby overwhelm, doesn\u2019t that sound blissful?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the things you learn when you become new parents is that there\u2019s just so much you need to know about raising your bundle of joy!
