No wonder why my son doesn’t like sleeping in the crib and would rather sleep w/ mom and dad. He has his own pillow and everything. Spoiled much? 😂
#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!

Ugh I wish my son could sleep in the middle. He has to be on the edge so his dad won't squish him. Lol

My husband is scared to sleep in the bed with me and our son, because he’s afraid he will squish him. So, it’s just me and him while my husband is sleeping on the couch. I feel bad.

My fiance sleeps so heavy and so hard that he'll flop over and end up squishing me and not even realize it, I won't even risk it. I showered last night and my fiance said he was gonna lay by the baby since he never really gets to cuddle him, but when I came out he was laying like a foot away from him still, just with his arm out reached and touching the baby 😂
