  • An outstanding podcast on baby sleep!

    Really impressed with the quality and depth of the material in this podcast - I had previously purchased a book and a sleep course from other sources, both of which go into less detail than this podcast makes available for free.

    The bases on which all sleep advice is provided are sound and trustworthy (not the case for all sources on baby sleep online), and best of all, it works! I can only highly recommend it!

  • Such a helpful, easy-to-digest resource!

    Every episode is so straight to the point, with good humor and lots of encouragement for parents. It’s been very helpful on my journey with a newborn, and I also listen to the episodes about older kiddos so I know what’s to come!

  • $70 for Newborn sleep guide ?

    I’ve been listening to Erin’s podcast for a bit. At first it seems like a lot of info bc different rules apply to different ages but I’ve been taking notes to make order of it. I also really appreciate how she gets in to the topics pretty quickly instead of talking. about her personal life (many podcasts do not). Out of curiosity went over to her website to check out her sleep guide PDF….$70 for the newborn guide ! I think that’s nuts. On another note, she had a guest, Jenny Best, who used the b... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q&A: Pillows, Wake Windows, Daycare Naps & More
Q: Will long daycare naps change as the child adjusts?
Yes, most children will gradually nap longer as they adjust to the daycare environment, with changes in bedtime for daycare days and a typical progression from shorter to longer naps over roughly a month as routines stabilize.
Q&A: Pillows, Wake Windows, Daycare Naps & More
Q: When can I start sleep coaching with preemie twins?
Sleep coaching can start after 14 weeks adjusted age for healthy, growing babies born before 37 weeks, and then wake windows should be adjusted to the babies' adjusted age rather than their actual age to reflect prematurity.
Q&A: Pillows, Wake Windows, Daycare Naps & More
Q: Should a toddler on a cot at daycare be moved to a floor bed at home?
No, it's generally not advisable to move to a floor bed at home solely because daycare uses floor cots; children perceive daycare and home environments differently, and forcing a floor bed at home can create resistance and sleep challenges.
Q&A: Pillows, Wake Windows, Daycare Naps & More
Q: What are good wake windows for a four and a half month old?
A four and a half month old typically benefits from about 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours of wake time before the first nap, with similar or slightly longer wake windows before subsequent naps and bedtime, and an understanding that some days may have three naps while others may have four, depending on how the child consolidates daytime sleep.
Q&A: Tips for Longer Naps, Newborn Sleep and Night Terrors
Q: My three-year-old has frequent night terrors. How do I help and avoid them?
Night terrors are not the same as nightmares; don't wake a child during a terror, stay nearby for safety, and focus on preventing overtiredness through age-appropriate bedtimes and naps, which reduces the likelihood and severity of terrors.
