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 too so 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.

Before kids, a day trip or weekend trip meant throwing your wallet and lip gloss in the car and heading out the door.

Now? diapers, extra clothes, endless snacks, nap timing calculations, & wondering if your toddler will fall asleep 5 minutes before you get home!

But good news: family day trips can absolutely still be fun (and even restful) with a little planning 🤍

I just shared a new blog with tips for:

✔️ aligning naps for smoother travel days
✔️ the best timing for drives based on your child’s age
✔️ helping babies & toddlers sleep in new environments
✔️ my favorite travel sleep tools for family trips

We’re headed to the mountains of Colorado, but whether you’re beach-bound, visiting grandparents, exploring a new town, or just surviving a longer car ride this weekend, these tips can help make the day feel a whole lot smoother.

One of the biggest reminders? Sleep does NOT have to be perfect for a family trip to be successful. A little flexibility and preparation usually go a long way ✨

Welcome new followers 👋! I’m Dr. Kelsey Alford, pediatric nurse practitioner and owner of Nested Sleep. I help working parents develop smoother bedtime routines and later mornings through personalized sleep plans & 1:1 sleep support.

Learn how I work with families below:

✨Virtual support: the bread and butter to my business is working 1:1 with families to achieve their sleep goals! My client outcomes and personal care is not only what brings in new clients, but repeat families who continue to trust me with their families sleep care.

✨In home sleep consultations: Whether you have a newborn you need to set up a sleep space for, OR a 1 year old who needs to go from co-sleeping to their crib, I am here for families in the DMV to provide sleep education and support during your most challenging times!

✨ Guides, ebooks, & workshops: Not all families need 1:1 support, but still want evidenced based sleep information to make the best decisions for your family! My guides, ebooks, and workshops are a great parent resource for parents that want a more DIY approach! Next workshop planned for 6/7 .

✨ Supporting parents is my life’s work and I’m excited to help your family soon too!

Do you need sleep support soon? I’ll be your go to sleep expert and take the troubleshooting off your busy plate!

Co-sleeping worked… until it didn’t.

And now you’re stuck wondering how to make a change without completely overwhelming your child (and yourself).

This is one of the most common situations families come to me with and the good news is, there’s a clear path forward.

It doesn’t require extremes.
It doesn’t require guessing.
It just requires the right plan + consistency.

Comment BLOG and I’ll send you my latest one to get you started!

If you’re ready to transition your toddler to their own sleep space, I’d love to support you.

In today’s guest blog, perinatal and couples therapist Jacqueline Laurenzi Counseling shares something so many parents feel, but don’t always say out loud:

When sleep improves, space opens up.

Space to talk.
Space to reconnect.
Space to feel like yourselves again.

Because when you’re no longer surviving broken nights, you have the capacity to show up differently for your partner, your family, and yourself.

With a background in perinatal mental health and couples counseling, Jackie supports families through the emotional transitions of parenthood & helping them rebuild connection during seasons that can feel overwhelming.

And what we both see, over and over again, is this:

Better sleep doesn’t just change your child’s nights… it can change your relationship.

✨ more meaningful conversations
✨ more patience
✨ more connection

You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode.

If you’re ready for better sleep and more connection at home, you’re in the right place. 🤍
