In June of 2022 the American Academy of Pediatrics updated their safe sleep guidelines. These updates included discussions on weighted sleep sacks, room sharing, SIDS monitoring devices and more. Naturally, I invited Holly Choi of Safe Beginnings on to talk with us about these updates! As a safety experty, Holly is always in the know about the latest research and news so she sits down to explain it all to us.

While we are ALL about making sleep a thing here at Little Z's, we also want you to get out and enjoy your life!

So when you drop naps, it's not just a party all day life your toddler leads! Everyone needs some down time, and in this episode Sarah Leach, Little Z's Senior Sleep Consultant, is sharing how she taught her two boys to enjoy quiet time and feel equipped to play independently.

It's my hope that when your family has a schedule for naps and nights, you feel FREE to get out and enjoy your life. It's true! Schedules don't keep you in bondage...they actually allow you the mental space to count on sleep when it's time. And on the off days that sleep needs to be changed due to life events, we want you to go off schedule and enjoy! Sundays have always been a tricky day for many of the Little Z's families. I've asked 3 of the Little Z's team members to share what they do on Sundays for their families and schedules. Enjoy hearing how they do things!

We're back with some of my all-time favorite guests- Helping Families Thrive! This time, Dr. Jenna Elgin joins me to discuss the trend of "gentle parenting" or "positive parenting". All of which sounds nice on the outside, but unfortunately is getting so misunderstood thanks to social media.

We always say "there are no unicorns" when it comes to children and sleep. All children NEED sleep, but sometimes there are some puzzles to solve. Lead Sleep Consultant at Little Z's, Sarah Leach, knows this well! Her son John had some major issues with not getting enough sleep, constant exhaustion and mouth breathing. This led her to advocate for a solution...and the answer was not what we expected!

I get it. You're stuck in a rut of exhausted nights because if you let your baby cry, your older child will wake up. And what's worse than a baby waking throughout the night? BOTH kids waking up throughout the night! But here's the thing - in that situation, there's no end in sight. No light at the end of a sleep deprived tunnel. Instead, today on the podcast (a very raw and unedited episode) I'm sharing some tips and encouragement on how to handle sleep training baby while you have an older child.

In this episode we're going back to the vault of our library and sharing one of our most popular episodes: The Four Month Sleep Plan. A LOT has changed since we shared that original episode in 2019, including the addition of a more robust baby sleep training program that offers a plan for a 4 & 5 month old PLUS the 6-16 month olds.

We're celebrating our FOURTH year of Podcasting! Would you leave a review on Apple Podcast or Google Reviews to share your story of how you've made sleep a thing with Little Z's?! On this episode I'm discussing tips and strategies on room sharing with your baby. Remember that the AAP has a "suggestion" to room share for 6 months, if possible 12 months. But this is not a rule that you MUST follow- it's a suggestion that you need to take into consideration with your lifestyle. Some parents want to room share for as long as possible, and others start baby in their own room from day 1! This is your decision and you do need to make the call for what's best for YOUR family.
