#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!

Babygirl knocked out sleep
shut the door? does anyone shut their child's door while they sleep? (if they sleep in their own room)
Co sleeping...yay or nay? Lately Molly hasn't want to sleep in her crib and sleep with us. Which is fine but we do want her to sleep in her crib

this sounds crazy but stay up all night and then the next day go too bed around the time youd like to be sleeping on a regular day basis. it's okay if it's before that time but each night just try and get closer and closer to your aimed bed time. hope that helps.😀

It shouldn't be. If it does just change up your sleep routine a little. Try going to bed and eating a little earlier. With all my friends they said there were some nights they couldn't sleep and some nights where they were knocked out while they were pregnant.

I don't have insurance or a lot of money to go see a doctor. is it bad if it continues? @2016_babywehope
Tatyana Gary·
@thisgirlavelina, it's not. I say if it continues go see your doctor. I'll be doing the same thing when I get back home.
avelina·
same with me. but I can't sleep until like 4/5 and then my man will come home from work and I'll wake up and fall asleep but this isn't good .-. @2016_babywehope

I thought so too. I think mines is cause I'm away from my husband right now. But even then I usually fall asleep around 2 am @thisgirlavelina
