✨ Tuesday Testimonial

Struggling with your little one’s sleep? Feel skeptical it could ever change? This family knows how you feel:

“After our son’s major sleep regression at two years old, we were desperate. Kelsey gave us a personalized two-week plan, and we were skeptical at first, but WOW—what a difference! He started sleeping through the night, transitioned to a toddler bed, and even stopped waking up at 5 AM! Now he puts himself to sleep, and we’ve all been getting the rest we need. 100/10 would recommend!”

Can you believe we are wrapping up October?! It’s been a fun month full of birthday and Halloween parties, a sleep medicine conference in Richmond, VA, family visits, and re-learning to ride a bike at age 40.

On the work front I’ve helped 8 families get rested this month (from 4 months through 5 years old)! October is always the calm before the holiday rush which I tried to really slow down to enjoy.

Next up in November Nested Sleep will be holding two sleep workshops at here in Leesburg, VA- I hope you can join!

It’s getting close to that frightful time in a parent’s year, and no it’s not Halloween 👻 , it’s fall back daylight saving time ending!

So whether we like it or not on Sunday November 3rd we’ll move the clocks back 1 hour. Now every family is different... some will want to adjust before, some not adjust at all, and others adjust afterwards!

Enjoy today’s post on all the ways you can adjust and if you are a planner like me then comment “DST” and I’ll send you my blog to prepare!

One of the reasons I love positive discipline is it gives you tools and language you can use today vs just broad theory!

I incorporate a lot of positive discipline into working with toddlers and preschoolers on the sleep front. I also have the honor of being a certified positive discipline parent educator through the .

This month I worked with a TON of toddlers and preschoolers using many of these tools to get their sleep on track!

Nightmares vs Night terrors!

Hi 👋🏼, I’m Kelsey, owner of , and I help busy parents develop smooth bedtime routines & later mornings through 1:1 sleep support!

So what is the difference between these two??

A nightmare is a bad dream (most often occurring in the second half of the night) that your child is fearful of and can describe.

A night terror typically occurs in the first half of the night often with screaming and thrashing for 30 seconds to 5 minutes.

Responding😱

For a nightmare you offer validation and reassurance in the moment and if recurrent discuss fears during the daytime.

For night terrors, keep your child safe and try to avoid waking your child. Prevent causing night terrors by getting a good amount of sleep every night.

If either nightmares or night terrors are occurring frequently reach out for help as neither should be a frequent occurrence.

Recently wrapped up with this sweet 5 month old as mom was getting ready to go back to work. Prior to working together he was only contact napping and waking multiple times a night and NOW he is thriving taking independent naps and sleeping much longer stretches overnight!

Maybe I’m biased too, but man I have the best clients ❤️

Can you believe we are wrapping up September?! It’s been a fun month full of fall hikes, made for mothers business meetups .co , and binge watching Emily in Paris (absolutely team Gabriel).

On the work front I’ve helped 11 families get rested this month (from 4 months through 5 years old)! September is always a chance to begin again and I love the joy I can help these families achieve by sleeping through the night.

Next up in October Nested Sleep will be celebrating 5 years! Keep an eye out for celebrations and giveaways next week :)

Today is world narcolepsy day! To honor this day I wanted to raise awareness about what narcolepsy can look like in kids.

Common presenting symptoms can include:
😴 excessive and irresistible sleepiness (often times falling asleep in class)
😴 cataplexy (episodes of muscle weakness during periods of strong emotion)
😴 hypnagogic hallucinations (vivid dreams at sleep onset)
😴 sleep paralysis (a momentary inability to move the body as one is drifting off to sleep or upon waking up)

Although relatively rare in general, narcolepsy is one of the more common causes of disabling daytime sleepiness beginning in adolescence or even earlier in some cases.

If your child is sleeping well at night and is still overly tired during the day it’s time to explore reasons with your child’s doctor.

Let’s raise awareness and stop calling kids lazy or blaming parents for not giving them sleep at night 🙌

A lot of the time I hear parents ask “how many naps should my baby be on?”.

And while this can absolutely vary from baby to baby it’s nice to know ahead of time how much daytime sleep you should aim to provide your little one and how you can best divide up that sleep for better daytime and nighttime sleep!

Save today’s post for the transition from 3 to 2 naps which for most babies occurs between 5-8 months! The transition usually takes at least a few weeks with the occasional cat nap needed at the end of the day to make sure baby isn’t too exhausted going into bedtime!

Is your baby in a nap transition right now? Comment NAP and I’ll send you my blog all on nap transitions!

The other day I discussed a study to show that the average age parents are sleep training, in the study population, was 5.3 months.

Years ago, to some extent still today, a lot of parents were waiting to sleep train until 6 months plus because of needing to keep night feedings.

I’m here to say that you can still implement good sleep skills, develop a predictable schedule, have longer night time sleep AND keep night feedings if your baby still needs them!

I start working 1:1 with families starting at 4 months. Are you ready to have support during sleep training? Comment READY and I’ll send you a link to book a free call!

Were you up past your child’s bedtime last night?? Getting back on track can sometimes be as easy as putting your baby or child to sleep at their typical schedule. Other times they are overtired, jet-lagged, or used to sharing a room with parents for a week or more!

When these things are at play then a reset is needed. This comes up often with my clients so this year I decided to create a post travel reset guide to get your kiddo back on track. It has all the tips you need for how to get back to smooth bedtimes and later mornings with your baby or child.
