✨ Sleep training isn’t just about a good week. It’s about lasting change.

This sweet family .mom.life chose my Year of Sleep Support, which meant we didn’t just “sleep train and disappear.” They had texting support through the hard nights, the questions, the second-guessing, the regressions… all of it.

And now? Months later… they’re still sleeping. 🙌

Because when sleep is built on:

✔️ Age-appropriate expectations
✔️ Clear, consistent boundaries
✔️ Responsive support
✔️ A plan that evolves as your child grows

…it lasts.

Sleep training done well isn’t a quick fix. It’s a skill set your child carries forward. It lasts through travel, illness, schedule shifts, and developmental changes.

If you’re ready for support that doesn’t end after two weeks, my Year of Sleep Support was designed exactly for that.

📲 DM me “SLEEP” or book your discovery call to build sleep that actually sticks.

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Sleep shouldn’t be a once-a-year gift…
And it is possible for you too. 🌙

This Valentine’s Day, let’s normalize loving yourself enough to ask for support. Better sleep isn’t about perfection, rigid rules, or missing out on real life, it’s about finding a rhythm that works for your baby and your family.

Because when your baby sleeps better, you do too.
And that kind of rest? It’s the best gift there is. 💕

“Must be teething.”

We’ve all said it at 2 a.m. 🦷🌙

But new research shows something surprising:

Objectively, babies don’t actually sleep worse when teeth are coming in.

Yes, teething can mean drool, gum discomfort, and extra fussiness. But frequent night wakings often line up with sleep transitions, changing sleep needs, or learned sleep patterns and not the tooth itself.

Which means this is the good news 👇

You don’t have to wait for the tooth to break through for sleep to improve.

✨ Start your sleep support package today for personalized, evidence-based help so nights can feel calmer, longer, and more predictable again.

Because better sleep isn’t about waiting it out, it’s about having the right support.

Should you let your little one sleep in? Yay or Nay?

With all the school days off, snow days, or long weekends this is an important question to answer!

Once in a while, no biggie! But when there is a frequent variation between weekday to weekend difference (often > 2 hours) this is termed “social jet lag” and it typically signals our body is missing out in the sleep it needs during the week which isn’t good 💤

We know that big sleep variations (often > 1-2 hrs) is linked to:

🥱 poorer academic performance (Sun et al., 2019)
🥱 Higher incidence of depression (Sun et al., 2019)
🥱 Increased BMI and body fat (Zhou, et al., 2025)
🥱 Concentration difficulties, aggression, and withdrawal symptoms ( Kim et al, 2022)

So while occasional sleep ins can be ok, bigger swings often lead to negative health outcomes and signal our body is missing the sleep it needs in a consistent basis.

More and more sleep evidence is pointing to the importance of sleep regularity when it comes to health outcomes. Let’s keep our body clock aligned and have less variation in sleep from day to day.

It’s 2016 again… and I’d redo this year over and over because 2016 is when I became a mom and everything about my identity shifted overnight.

I walked into motherhood with a strong background in pediatric sleep. I knew the science. I knew the patterns. I knew what should help.

And then there were all the parts no textbook fully prepares you for, the emotional load, the second-guessing, the nights where you’re learning right alongside your baby. Some things I knew. Some things we figured out together, one wake-up at a time.

That season changed how I practice, how I support families, and how I talk about sleep now. Not as a rigid formula, but as something that has to work for real parents with real lives.

If you’re a new parent in your own “2016 era” — exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering why sleep feels harder than expected — you don’t have to figure it out alone.

✨ I support families with evidence-based, realistic sleep plans that meet you where you are.

You’re not behind. You’re just becoming someone new.

Hi 👋 I’m Kelsey, founder of Nested Sleep, sleep consultant, pediatric nurse practitioner, and the person behind this space.

I help babies and kids sleep better so parents can feel like themselves again.

If you’re new here, here’s what you should know:

• I work with babies, toddlers, and children 0-18
• I create personalized & evidence-based sleep plans with outcomes you can trust
• I support working parents who are tired of guessing and Googling at 2am

Most of the families I work with come to me saying:

“I just want to be more patient.”
“I want bedtime to feel calm again.”
“I want to enjoy my mornings instead of surviving them.”

And here’s the truth, those goals don’t come from trying harder. They come from better sleep.

That’s why my January focus is New Year, New You …because the parent you want to be in 2026 starts with rest. When your child sleeps well, you have more patience, more energy, and more capacity to be present during the day.

This space is for:

✨ Practical sleep education
✨ Realistic expectations (yes you can have a great sleeper and travel the world)
✨ Support for parents who want evidence-based guidance from an expert you can trust

If better sleep is part of your vision for this year, you’re in the right place.

💬 I offer free discovery calls to help families decide their next best step

🗓 January and February support is now booking

Welcome, I’m really glad you’re here 🤍

Year after year. Over 90% results every time!

And in 2025—95% of families who followed their sleep plan met their goals within two weeks 💤

The part I’m most proud of? Most new families come from past clients telling their friends, “This worked for us.”

That trust means more than any metric.

Thank you to every parent who showed up tired, committed anyway, and let me support their child’s sleep. And thank you for sharing about me with your people, I truly wouldn’t be here without you.

Here’s to better sleep, smoother bedtimes, and calmer mornings ✨

If sleep is something you’re hoping to work on in 2026, my calendar will be opening soon (thanks to ❤️) and I’d be honored to support your family when the timing feels right.

Signing off for now and see y’all in the new year 🎉

Most common wrap up call question? “When can we be more flexible with baby’s schedule after sleep training?”.

I always tell my clients to devote 2-3 weeks to sleep training and setting a good foundation. After that enters the 80/20 rule!

The 80/20 rule means that to keep a good routine you should follow the schedule 80% of the time and then 20% of the time you have some wiggle room! Having a good routine means your child can predict how bedtime will go making it smoother, but flexibility allows your family to enjoy a social life with kids in tow (bring on the holiday party 🎁).

We use the 80/20 rule all the time. In fact, a most memorable time was during one of our travels internationally. We typically have an 8 pm bedtime, but we waited in the customs line for a LONG time!! Were the kids tired? Yes. Did we have a blast in Mexico the next 5 days? Yes!

When have you used the 80/20 rule? Share in the
comments!

Are you looking for more help and support as you navigate your child’s sleep challenges so you can attain the kind of freedom and flexibility that the 80/20 rule provides?

Comment GIFT and I’ll send you my discovery link so we can plan the best Christmas gift for you and your family- sleep 💤!
