Is your 9-month-old suddenly waking all night, fighting naps, or screaming the second you leave the room? In this episode, we’re talking about realistic 9-month-old sleep schedules, wake windows, night feedings, sleep associations, and how to handle separation anxiety without giving up every sleep boundary.

You’ll learn what may be causing the wake-ups, what a two-nap schedule can look like, and how to respond more consistently at bedtime and overnight. Because two babies can have the exact same sleep struggle for completely different reasons, this episode will give you a practical starting point, not a one-size-fits-all plan.

If you’ve read all the baby sleep advice but still don’t know what to do when your baby wakes tonight, book a Sleep Clarity Call. Together, we’ll figure out what is actually keeping your baby from sleeping and create a personalized plan for naps, bedtime, feedings, and night wakings, so you can stop guessing and finally feel confident in how you respond.

What does postpartum really look like behind closed doors, and why don’t we spend as much time preparing for life after birth as we do preparing for the birth itself?

In this episode, I’m joined by Nina Spears, Founder and CEO of Baby Chick and author of The Baby Chick Guide to Positive Pregnancy. We’re talking about the realities of postpartum and life with a new baby, including the hidden mental load of motherhood, the pressure to have a picture-perfect experience, and the practical support new moms actually need.

Nina shares how moms can prepare their mindset, body, relationship, support system, and home for the transition into parenthood. We also discuss how partners can become proactive members of the postpartum team instead of waiting to be told what to do.

Whether you’re currently pregnant, newly postpartum, or already navigating motherhood with a young baby, this conversation will help you feel more prepared, supported, and understood.

Can you sleep train a four-month-old baby, or is four months too early for sleep training? In this episode, we’re talking about when to start sleep training, how the four-month sleep regression affects your baby’s sleep, and the signs that your baby may be ready.

You’ll learn why I recommend waiting until the most disruptive part of the four-month sleep regression has passed, what gentle sleep training can look like at this age, and how to improve bedtime and night wakings while still responding to your baby’s needs.

If your four-month-old won’t sleep, is waking frequently at night, taking short naps, or suddenly fighting bedtime, this episode will help you decide what to do next.

Is your baby suddenly crying the second you leave the room, fighting bedtime, or waking throughout the night just to make sure you’re still there?

Separation anxiety can completely disrupt sleep, even if your baby was previously sleeping well. But it doesn’t mean you have to stop sleep training or choose between supporting your baby emotionally and getting the rest your family needs.

In this episode, I’m sharing how to sleep train when your baby is experiencing separation anxiety. We’ll talk about how to tell if separation anxiety is really causing the sleep struggles, ways to strengthen connection during the day, how to create a reassuring bedtime routine, and which responsive sleep training methods may work best for your baby’s temperament.

You’ll also learn how to handle middle-of-the-night wakings without accidentally creating new sleep habits you don’t want to continue.

You can comfort your baby, protect your attachment, and still hold loving, consistent sleep boundaries. Responsive does not have to mean boundary-less.

Are you completely exhausted but unable to sleep, even when your baby is finally asleep? Postpartum insomnia can make it difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep, or quiet your racing thoughts, even when you desperately need rest. In this episode, we’re talking about why new moms can’t always “sleep when the baby sleeps,” how postpartum anxiety, hormonal changes, mental load, and an over-alert nervous system can affect maternal sleep, and why putting more pressure on yourself to fall asleep often makes insomnia worse.

You’ll learn practical ways to calm your mind before bed, create a realistic postpartum bedtime routine, reduce nighttime anxiety, arrange protected sleep with your spouse or support person, and recognize when sleep problems may require additional medical or mental health support. If you’re struggling with postpartum sleep deprivation, racing thoughts at night, or feeling tired but wired after having a baby, this episode will remind you that you are not failing and you do not have to navigate it alone.

I’m also inviting you to my free workshop, Sleep Through the Night Without “Cry It Out,” where you’ll learn how to reduce your baby’s night wakings and create longer, more predictable stretches of sleep using a gentle and responsive approach.
