#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!

Literally she wakes up 6 times in the night then up at like 5:30 am 😭 literally feel like I'm in a dream xx
Chelsea ··
mine don’t wake up thank god! As babies they was the best sleepers, I mean they do go bed early 6:30 so they do get a lot of sleep but sometimes I literally can’t go sleep until like 1-2am 😫xx

She usually sleeps through. But it's taking her some time to settle in the new house. And she's teething badly at the minute 😭 and because she's so clingy throughout the day I don't get to eat much. Then when she goes bed ill make a proper meal and have a batb. By the time I get into bed it's like 12-1am 🤦🏻♀️ then I'm up every hour giving her a dummy and tucking her in its so draining 😭 it's awful isn't it xx
