Tulsa Pediatric Sleep Consulting

Tulsa Pediatric Sleep Consulting You don't have to be a tired parent! Let's resolve your child's exhausting sleep habits together! Do any of these situations sound familiar? GOOD NEWS!

Your child takes short naps that are all over the place as far as timing goes. You really need to get some things done around the house but your little one wakes up shortly after going to sleep. Your child really fights going to sleep for naps and/or bedtime. Your child has to be rocked, bounced, driven around, put in the stroller, nursed or bottle fed, and/or laid with to go to sleep. Your child has taken over your bed and you are ready to have your bed back! Your child wakes before 6:00 am. Your little one is often fussy and irritable. They lack interest in people or things and just have a hard time having fun. They can be difficult to be around. Your OWN lack of sleep is taking a toll on you and your family, maybe your relationship is even suffering because of your child's lack of sleep. We can fix all of this with a custom sleep plan suited just for your family! I am a former elementary school teacher, mother of three, certified Happiest Baby Educator (CHBE), and have been a certified Gentle Sleep Coach since 2010. I am trained to work with children 0-10 years. I have had hundreds of hours of training on:

-Basic counseling and child development

-Medical conditions that can interfere with sleep

-Postpartum Depression and Anxiety

-Sensory Processing Disorder

-Sleep Science and Behavioral Modification Techniques

-Secure Attachment Theory

-Supporting the Breastfeeding Mom

-Sleep training methods for children in a crib or bed

And much more!

What time did your kids wake up this morning?

After all the costumes, candy, and chaos, it will be time for calm!

Create a cozy bedtime space that helps your little goblins settle down:
- Soft lighting during the bedtime routine (think warm lamps, not bright overheads)
- Favorite blankets or stuffed animals
- Gentle lullabies during the routine and white noise for sleeping

Between doorbells and excited kids outside, Halloween can be noisy!

White noise can work like a charm to:
- Muffle doorbells and chatter.
- Keep babies and toddlers from waking with every knock.
- Create a steady, soothing sound that says “time to sleep.”

If your baby is already used to a sound machine you might want to add a fan in the hallway to help block out more noise.

Trick-or-treating is so much fun—but all that candy + excitement can make bedtime extra tricky!

Here’s how to help your little pumpkins wind down:
-Let kids enjoy a few treats earlier in the evening, not right before bed.
-Offer water and a protein snack afterward to balance the sugar rush.
-Stick to familiar bedtime routines to signal that the fun is over and rest is next.

A little planning keeps Halloween night sweet and (mostly) restful!

It’s the Witching Hour—that tricky time before bed when little ghouls get cranky, clingy, and chaotic!

Here are a few spells to make evenings smoother:
- Keep the lights low and screens off at least 60 minutes before bed.
- Try a “magic” wind-down routine—bath, story, lullaby.
- Stay calm and predictable (even when your tiny monsters aren’t!).

A little routine magic can help even the spookiest evenings end peacefully.
