#momlifechats Moms, Welcome to #momlifechats! We’re so excited to welcome Infant & Child Sleep Consultant Hailee Schollaardt (@nurturingsleepsolutions). Hailee has been a Certified Sleep Consultant for 3.5 years. She has 3 kids aged 4.5 years, 2.5 years and 6 months and knows all too well the difficulties of a non-sleeping baby. “My first baby was 11 months old before he slept his first 2 hour stretch (It was a wednesday) and since then I became obsessed with learning about sleep!” Hailee classifies herself as more of a gentle sleep coach and encourages parents to do what works best for their own family. “Always advocate for your family and your baby! After all, you know them best!” She has worked with many families and loves providing tools to help improve sleep for every family she meets. Healthy Sleep equals Happy Families! Hailee’s top 3 sleep tips: 1.) Create a baby cave! The body is cued by light levels and so darkness in the room environment is so important. We want that room to be pitch black if we can. This helps newborns feel at home (in the womb) and it help’s older babies produce sleep hormones. 2.) Use white noise. This is my “must have” in any sleep space. It helps newborns feel at home because it sounds like the womb and it helps older babies to cycle through sleep cycles. Use a constant sound such as static, heavy rainfall or a vacuum. Make sure it does not turn off after a certain interval as we want it to be playing the whole time to help those sleep cycles! 3.) Build strong routines. This is not the same as a schedule. A routine is just the steps you do before putting your baby down to sleep. Each step in that routine triggers the brain to release sleep hormones. Essentially, it acts as your baby’s clock telling the body what time it is… sleep time! Inconsistent sleep routines can lead to inconsistent sleep! Please ask @nurturingsleepsolutions anything by tagging her in the comments below. And a big thanks to @nurturingsleepsolutions for participating in this chat! Hailee welcomes you to follow her Facebook Page Nurturing Sleep Solutions for more live Q&A’s and helpful Facebook Live sleep tips! Let’s get chatting! 🍁mom.life_usa🍂

Whenever my mom has my daughter, she ALWAYS has her sleeping propped up with a pillow or blanket lol she has a theory that babies need to sleep propped up so they can breath better especially if their congested lol. I'm just like ok 😊👍🏼 my daughter sleeps in her swing tho and she's propped up for the most part, she seems to like it better than laying flat.

@ya0515, @supermom1104 @edomke @queendavis @laynedaniel @pregomego thanks ladies! He sleeping in his swing during the day. But I have a hard time getting him to sleep ANYWHERE on his own at night. He literally starts grunting and kicking and punching when I lay him down and idk why!!! But he sleeps good in my bed with a pillow under his head so maybe it will work in his own bed!!! And I've let him nap on his Boppy before also!

Oh 5 weeks lol... I was having that issue with layne last week... I started putting him in his crib with his boppy because he's too big for his bassinet...
