Nurturing Roots Consulting

Is your baby over 4 months old but still waking like a newborn? 😴

Whenever a mom tells me she is waking 4+ times a night, it’s usually followed by “How do I stop feeding to sleep” or “Rocking to sleep” …

Always remember, the way your baby falls asleep for naps and bedtime is how they expect to fall back asleep when they wake during a short nap or the night!

What your baby associates with sleep is important, it could be any of these …
• Dark room
• Sleep Sack
• Being rocked, bounced or fed to sleep
• A soother
• Sound Machine

What you may be experiencing right now:
• Waking 2–4+ times a night
• Struggles with settling at bedtime
• Only falling asleep while feeding, rocking, or bouncing
• Waking 30–60 minutes after bedtime and possibly throughout the night
• Short naps

In the newborn stage, it’s all about survival - I’ve been there too 🤍 But as your little one gets older, they’re capable of learning a new sleep skill with the right guidance! Sometimes what worked before, isn’t working anymore and that’s okay!

✨ Gentle ways to start:
• Create a consistent bedtime routine (20+ minutes)
• Try settling them a different way before feeding or rocking
• Pause for a moment before responding to see what they can do (start with 3 minutes)
• Practice one nap a day where they have the opportunity to fall asleep in their sleep space - the first nap is often the easiest

Remember, this isn’t about leaving your baby to cry, it’s about supporting them while they learn a new skill, with you right by their side 🤍

I see you mama 🤍

You might feel like you’re constantly in survival mode. You can’t finish a sentence without losing your train of thought, you’re forgetting words and it almost feels like you don’t remember how to socialize somedays or even get through the day!!

You’re in the thick of it right now and I understand how tough it can be 😮‍💨 Big hugs!!

Does this sound like you?
- You finally get your baby to sleep, only for them to wake-up 30 minutes after you transferred them to the crib
- You’re waking 3-5 times a night and have no idea why the wake-ups are happening
- Some nights you get long stretches and the others you wake a million times
- Bedtime feels unpredictable
- You get anxiety late afternoon before the bedtime routine

Many other moms feel this to their core too - baby sleep is no joke! But what I want you to know is that it doesn’t have to be this way - I mean that. Within a matter of days you can see significant improvements in yours and your baby’s sleep!

Are you wondering … How the F is this even possible?

Let me be the one to share the good news that it is - very possible. Imagine putting your baby down to sleep, walking away, going to binge a Netflix series while eating popcorn and living your best life. How would this make you feel if you could be in this very place before August?

I’m here to work with you to make this happen, if you’re ready to reclaim your evenings book a 30-minute complimentary call through the link in my bio to see what offer is best of you or comment SLEEP to learn more ✨
