Dread bedtime power struggles?

Is your child misbehaving at bedtime? Is bedtime a nightmare? Toddlers are known for stalling and requesting at bedtime. These behaviors immediately create power-struggle energy and can make bedtime complicated and long. I bet you are tired of coming up with consequences for bedtime battles?

Toddlers love to "feel in control", but they also thrive on routines and boundaries. One way to minimize power struggle and create an age-appropriate boundary is to introduce sleep-to-wake clocks, especially when working with kids 2 years and older.

These tot clocks are a great way to reinforce kids staying in their room until morning. The nights can seem endless if your child is constantly asking you if it's time to get up yet. With the features of these clocks, if kids can recognize colors, they can tell if it's time to get up!  Avoid that power struggle and give your kids the control!

What do I think is the best ok-to-wake clock? 

The Hatch!

A magical all-in-one device that's part sound machine, night light, & time-to-rise features

This is an incredible combination for teaching your child lifelong healthy sleep habits because I always recommend white noise for nights and naps. This one product works from birth and up so no need to keep buying new products. 

The Sleep-to-wake feature allows you to program sounds and colors to indicate whether it's sleep time or time to get up. You set the times, colors, sounds and duration. Totally custom!

The app makes it so easy to setup and make changes as your child grows. 

This product can be used as a night light (with adjustable brightness). With a quick tap, it can help make middle of the night diaper changes a breeze in the early days and can help with the fear of the dark as they get older. 

Order your Hatch today!

If you find yourself googling the following, it's worth checking out the Hatch and it's sleep-to-wake feature.

Value yourself again! Tips for Breastfeeding Mothers!

When breastfeeding a little one it's easy to start putting their needs first and forgetting your own. I wanted to share with you a great article with Tips for Breastfeeding Mothers written by Josh Moore at Diaperdads.org

Value Yourself Again: Tips for New Breastfeeding Mothers

by Josh Moore at Diaperdads.org

As a new mother, you already know that despite the rewarding aspects of motherhood, it also comes with its share of challenges. Breastfeeding benefits you and the baby. More specifically, it provides babies with much-needed nutrition and strengthens the bond between mother and child. But don’t feel bad if you're overwhelmed by the burden of motherhood or breastfeeding. Here are some tips and resources from Blissful Baby Sleep Coaching to help you manage the stress of being a new parent.

Make Time for Mental Health

According to the experts, postpartum depression is a deep depression that can last long. Generally, you feel it within the first month of childbirth. Building a close bond with your baby through feeding can help alleviate some symptoms of postpartum depression.

Additionally, you need to care for yourself. Make time for mental health through seeking online therapy. You can revolve your treatment around breastfeeding and parenting, speak securely and confidentially to a professional and feel less trapped in a commitment. Online therapy gives you various choices for therapists and helps you save time on travel and pay less overall. Most online therapists offer quick and free consultations.

For physical and mental health benefits, stay hydrated throughout the day. Carry water with you always and try to limit food or drinks that may dehydrate you more, like coffee. Breastfeeding can also benefit your health because it helps you lose pregnancy weight faster and can fight against osteoporosis.

To help relieve stress, and to help release any trapped negative energy, keep your home organized and clean. When you have a cluttered home, it can make it difficult to focus or stay positive. It is wise to address all issues ahead of time to have a healing and healthy atmosphere for you and the baby. And if at all possible, try to keep it as decluttered as you can.

Give Yourself More Credit

Forget the negative self-talk. Many mothers worry that they must be doing something wrong if they feel overwhelmed. You are human and when you put yourself down, your self-esteem sinks. You damage your self-confidence because you start internalizing what you say about yourself.

All people have their journey. This is true for all mothers, too. If your mothering techniques do not look like another mom's, the two of you have different methods. Think about your journey and make choices based on what helps you get through each day.

Take Care of Your Comfort

Breastfeeding is not always comfortable. It is a full-time job, especially with newborns. Your baby may need between 20 and 45 minutes of feeding at a time and you have to feed him or her every two to three hours. Understand that in the beginning, you may have various challenges. Sometimes it does not feel natural and you may have difficulty producing enough milk for your baby. Find a comfortable chair with neck and shoulder support to keep you physically comfortable.

Pay close attention to your posture. This step may be difficult when tired from motherhood, but do not hunch. You need to sit straight in an ergonomic chair and loosen up when you hold your baby.

Look for a comfortable, durable nursing bra you can wear 24-7, even to bed. Breathable fabrics with support can make breastfeeding easier. Check Amazon marketplace for bras or other marketplaces with other options. You can toss a few bras into your cart when shopping for other necessities, including paper towels, toilet paper, diapers and wipes.

As a new breastfeeding mother, you have a lot on your plate. To help alleviate the burden, you have to be able to take care of yourself and let yourself focus on feeling better. So take steps to improve your surroundings and stay positive!

Blissful Baby Sleep Coaching isn’t just about your child’s sleep – it’s about your sleep, as well. Reach out today to get started!

I Support HER: Dr. Patricia Kiser of University Chiropractic

In honor of WO3 I am delighted to partner, promote and support Dr. Patricia Kiser of University Chiropractic!

Throughout the month of March, you have seen me doing a lot around partnering, promoting and supporting woman-owned businesses. As my annual gratitude project, I am on the Executive Board of WO3 Connect which is a nonprofit GRASSROOTS movement to support female entrepreneurs. On Saturday March 25, 2023, we had our big celebration day to support ALL woman-owned business. One day we hope this movement will as popular as “Small Business Saturday”.

I had the honor of interviewing Dr. Patricia Kiser of University Chiropractic. During our interview we had an engaging conversation discussing her holistic practices.  Did you know that Pediatric Chiropractic can help treat child's symptoms without the use of medications?

Dr. Patricia Kiser-Cohen, a native of San Mateo, California, attended Aragon High School and developed a deep interest in healing. Her fascination with the human body and its afflictions, such as pain, disease, and diminished quality of life, led her to explore various holistic methods of treatment. Although she was active in high school sports, including cheerleading, horseback riding, and soccer, she suffered from back pain after fracturing her lower back. Her search for effective pain relief led her to chiropractic care, which she was introduced to by a personal mentor. Dr. Kiser then interned in a sports-medicine chiropractic clinic the following summer that catered to various professional athletic organizations, which further fueled her passion for chiropractic care.

To pursue her career goals, Dr. Kiser pursued pre-medicine and earned a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology from Patten University before enrolling in Chiropractic College. In 1994, she obtained her Doctorate in Chiropractic Care, and after gaining three years of clinical experience, she founded her own practice in 1997. Dr. Kiser has worked with hundreds of babies and children of all ages, helping them overcome various conditions such as colic, ear aches, constipation, latching issues, asthma, and allergies, including her own son when he was an infant. Her healing abilities have earned her clients from all over the Bay Area, who benefit from her extensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology. She can quickly identify the source of pain and provide immediate relief, helping her clients achieve their optimum level of health.

I Support HER: Marquis Anne Skold

Throughout the month of March, you are going to hear me talking a lot about partnering, promoting and supporting woman-owned businesses. As my annual gratitude project, I am on the Executive Board of WO3 Connect which is a nonprofit GRASSROOTS movement to support female entrepreneurs.  

In fact, our “call to action” is to encourage people to come together annually in the month of March and especially on Saturday, March 25, 2023 to support ANY woman-owned business 

One day we hope this movement will as popular as “Small Business Saturday”.

In honor of WO3 I am delighted to feature partner, promote and support Marquis Anne Skold

Marquis Anne is Founder and CEO of Nanny Village, a staffing agency that helps families and entrepreneurs find outstanding care and household support through the placement of experienced nannies, newborn care specialists, private educators, family assistants and private chefs. 

As a Mom of three, Marquis has first-hand experience of what a thoughtfully matched nanny can bring to a busy working family in need of support. 

After many challenges and incompatible nanny matches, she quickly realized how finding the right fit for her family made all the difference. In addition to the reliable support she received from a seasoned nanny, Marquis soon began to see how their lives became intertwined as they celebrated milestones and birthdays, and grieved the loss of loved ones together over the years. They had become like family.

In addition to matching families with their ideal nanny, Marquis understands a professionally screened caregiver is key. After her own family experienced their own horror story when their childhood nanny, who was not properly vetted, became headline news for violent criminal offenses. It is this experience that drives Marquis’ dedication to providing a meticulous candidate screening and interviewing process, which includes multiple rounds of one-on-one interviews, reference checks, fingerprinting and an extensive background check.

Marquis is passionate about providing resources for families of all backgrounds through education and community building. With plans of launching additional services to help families, Marquis aims to connect more families to exciting new platforms, programs and products. 

Prior to launching Nanny Village, Marquis provided marketing, recruitment and event planning support for companies in the entertainment industry. Check out my conversation with Marquis in the video below!
