Sleep training has gotten such a bad rap online… and so much of it comes from misinformation and fear.

So let me say this clearly:

✨ You do not need to sleep train if you don’t want to.
There is no one “right” way to support your baby’s sleep.

My job is simply to clear up the myths, share the science, and remind you that sleep training is an option — and for many families, it’s a safe, responsive, effective option that truly works when sleep has become unsustainable.

You deserve to make decisions from a place of confidence, not guilt.

One of the biggest reasons I wrote this book is because there is so much misinformation about baby sleep and sleep training online.

It can feel overwhelming trying to figure out what’s true, what’s fear-based, and what actually matters for your baby and your family.

This book was created to bring you the facts, the research, and the real evidence so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

Whether you choose to sleep train or not, you deserve support that’s rooted in science, not shame. 💛

What’s the best nap schedule for your baby? 🤔

Let me start by saying…it’s the one that works best for THEM!

That being said, these age-based schedules can be a helpful starting point if you’re wondering what’s “average” for your baby’s age.

Just remember: wake windows are a general guideline. Every baby is different!

Some babies need a little more awake time, others need a little less — and that’s totally normal! The key is watching your baby’s sleepy cues and fine-tuning a predictable rhythm that works for your little one.

If you’re trying to build a solid nap schedule but want a clear step-by-step guide you can reference anytime, our book is packed with schedules, wake windows, and gentle support to help you feel confident. 💛📘

Sleep problems are often one of the earliest warning signs of mental health struggles.

Research reviewed by Perlis et al. (2016) shows that insomnia and chronic sleep disruption frequently precede the onset of anxiety and depression, not the other way around. In many cases, sleep difficulties appear months or even years before a formal mood disorder diagnosis.

This tells us something important: sleep is not just a symptom of mental health challenges — it’s a key predictor and risk factor. When sleep is consistently disrupted, the brain’s emotional regulation systems are placed under ongoing strain.

Supporting sleep early isn’t just about feeling better tomorrow. It’s about protecting long-term mental health.

I want to start by saying this as clearly as possible:

You do not have to sleep train.

Truly. It is not a requirement. It is not the only “good” choice. It is simply one option that some families consider.

I completely understand why this topic brings up so much emotion. Parents are doing their absolute best in a season that is already vulnerable, exhausting, and full of opinions from every direction.

What I care most about is that families feel supported, not pressured.

Because the truth is:
There is no one right way to do baby sleep.

Some families will choose to bedshare. Some will choose responsive sleep training. Some will choose to keep things exactly as they are. Some will choose no intervention at all.

The goal is not to do what the internet says is “best.”

The goal is to make an informed decision that aligns with your baby, your mental health, your instincts, and your family’s needs.

I also believe it’s important that the facts shared online are grounded in accurate research, because parents deserve information that is evidence-based.

That’s why I wrote my book. It’s filled with the studies, context, and nuance behind these exact conversations, so you can feel confident sorting through it all without fear or shame.

If you want a resource that lays out the research clearly and gently…

You’re not doing it wrong. The newborn stage is a seismic shift.
Less sleep, more logistics, big feelings… and it can leave even the strongest couples feeling disconnected.

But it doesn’t have to stay that way. Small, steady “investments” can keep your marriage strong — even when you’re running on fumes. 💛

There’s a season in early parenthood where you’re checking all the boxes…
feeding, soothing, timing naps, trying so hard,
and still wondering, ‘Why does this feel so hard?’

If you’re in it right now, let this be your reminder: you’re not failing - you’re building. Foundations take time, and a lot of unseen effort.

Cognitive Shuffling — a tool you can use in the older toddler years and beyond. Let me explain 👇

Nolan came down saying she felt scared as she was falling asleep. I wanted to help her get her mind on something else and reinforce a tool she can access on her own later. Kids tend to feel more anxious when the only source of comfort is outside of them. Of course, I’m there for her, but part of my job is also to build her confidence, strength, and resilience.

Here’s how it works:
Pick a word. She chose “dog.”
Then think of every single word you can that starts with D. When you run out, move on to the next letter. We did D together, and then she confidently headed back upstairs to do O and G on her own.

If your child hasn’t mastered letters and sounds yet, any category works. Name every fruit, every Disney princess, everything you can find in a pantry — anything that gently shifts their focus.

Send this to your toddler mom friends (and your partner). And let me know if you try it!
P.S. This also works for adults with racing thoughts and trouble falling asleep 💭✨

The Super Bowl:
🏈 loud
🍕 chaotic
💃🏼 fun
😵‍💫 overstimulated & up late

Your kid’s sleep afterward?
…also chaotic (unless you’ve got a plan 😴)

If game days + late nights + sugar make bedtime feel impossible, you’re not alone.
And you don’t have to just “wait it out.”

✨ Calm sleep > chaos
✨ Structured flexibility that lessens overtired meltdowns
✨ Yes - even after that weekend

You don’t need to “start over.”
You just need a reset that actually works. Comment ‘TPSAPP’ to explore techniques to enable this and so much more. 🤍

We joke about never sleeping again… but here’s the truth:

You and your family can absolutely get better sleep.

No doom. No “this is just parenthood.” Just support that actually works.

02/07/2026

A landmark neuroscience study by Yoo et al. (2007) found that when we don’t get enough sleep, the amygdala — the brain’s threat and fear center — becomes significantly more reactive. At the same time, the brain regions responsible for regulation and calming responses lose strength and connectivity.

This means everyday stressors can feel more intense, more urgent, and harder to manage when you’re sleep-deprived. Small problems feel big. Emotions escalate faster. Anxiety sensitivity increases - even in people without an anxiety disorder.

This isn’t a personal flaw or lack of resilience. It’s the predictable response of a tired brain.
