I used to take pictures of my newborn sleeping with their mouth open, thinking it was adorable. I had no idea that open‑mouth breathing can be a major red flag for underlying myofunctional issues.
Over time, the signs started to add up:
• Feeding challenges and failed breastfeeding
• Milk leaking from the bottle
• Reflux and colic
• Oral ties that required release
• Persistent open‑mouth breathing even afterward
• Dark circles under the eyes despite long, uninterrupted sleep
• Asthma symptoms
• Constant position changes throughout the night

Many families don’t realize that these patterns can signal deeper concerns, and not all GPs or pediatricians are trained to recognize them. If you’re noticing similar signs, it may be worth connecting with a qualified myofunctional therapist to explore what’s going on beneath the surface.

We've all been there...
You are 5 minutes from home and your little one falls asleep even though nap time doesn't start for a half an hour!
Now what!?!?

Here are some options:

1. The Transfer- Remain silent & calm. Gently bring your child into their room. Keep it as dark as possible. Put on their sleep sack and place them in the crib. Turn on the white noise and wait.....
Remember: we can go back to sleep (if not stimulated) within about 15 minutes; especially in a very dark space with white noise on.

2. A proper nap later- if your child has only been sleeping in the car for a few minutes, wake them up. Do a small activity or meal at home as you usually would in your routine. Then start your naptime routine and put your little one down for nap. Maybe just 30 or 45 minutes later due to that small nap they had in the car.

3. Car nap- If you have the resources: drive around and allow for a nap over 45 minutes so it is more restorative. Find a long stretch of road with the least amount of stops, if possible. Put white noise on in the car or a very calm audio book. This may also result in an early bed time.

It may seem like a great sign when you lay your baby in their crib and they fall asleep almost instantly!

But here is why this is problematic.

It should take roughly 15 minutes for the body to fall asleep.
Falling asleep instantly shows "crashing" to sleep; and may indicate your child is under-rested or getting poor quality sleep.

The 15 minute time frame shows:

• A balanced circadian rhythm
• Adequate sleep duration
• A calm, regulated nervous system
• A sleep environment that supports relaxation

This range shows that your body is winding down at a natural pace and that your sleep pressure, circadian rhythm, and environment are working together as expected.

It can also indicate that your child is not falling asleep independently; but rather needing assistance to wind down and become drowsy. This can lead to difficulties falling back to sleep during unnecessary waking's.

Can parents truly have both great sleep and a secure attachment with their child?
ABSOLUTELY.

Here’s what’s essential to understand:
A small amount of normal, everyday frustration does not harm attachment. Babies experience brief moments of discomfort all day long:
• Waiting for a feed
• Being buckled into the car seat
• Diaper changes
• Transitions between activities
Learning to sleep is no different.
What matters is not the absence of protest, but the presence of consistent, loving care overall.
Our gentle sleep coaching supports attachment—clear, consistent responses that help your child feel secure while learning an important skill.

When parents are well-rested, they’re more available—emotionally and physically. And that is the foundation of secure attachment.

Notice a pattern of 40 minute naps?
Here are some reasons why you may be getting 40 minute naps:

1. The room isn't dark enough. Try blacking out the room for naps and bedtime. It should be so dark that it's difficult to see funiture.

2. Noises are startling your little one awake. Add white noise on low volume to each nap and bedtime. White noise mimics the womb!

3. The time awake between naps is too long or too short for your child's age. Check out my wake window guide!

4. There is no routine, no cues, no consistency for naps or bed time. A routine should start 15 minutes before nap time. It should consist of the same steps, in the same order, every single time.
( Diaper change, sleep sack on, read a book, place into crib. Turn on white noise. )

5. The last nap of the day may naturally be 40 minutes. Your child may be in the midst of a regression. Your child may lack sleep skills.
