#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🍂

@lpheartsyou he doesn't like sleeping on his back at all. Sometimes he'll even try to sleep on his stomach face down but his arm on his forehead. I always flip him back over when I catch him. Nervous reck lol

@shannamarie, my daughter started doing this same thing months ago. She’d put her face straight down in the mattress. After awhile she learned to turn it sideways but I used to do the same thing, go in there and turn her over. She’d just do it again whether it was immediate or in a few hours. I think that if they can roll around and lift their head well, it shouldn’t be a problem to let them sleep like that. They’re not a month old anymore ya know? Now she’s a year old and when I put her to sleep, I’m comfortable enough to put her straight on her stomach and she even sleeps with a blanket now. They grow so fast!

Natalie has been a side sleeper since birth. I just make sure her face is open and no into the mattress, now she rolls all over so I can’t really control the way she ends up mostly it’s on belly.

Mine sleeps on his stomach and side. 🤷 I had to sleep and honestly they did it that way for hundreds of years. They just switched to back sleeping in 1994.

My daughter would not sleep on her back from the time she was 1 month to about a year and a half. You lay her on her back and she’d roll right back over.
