National Sleep Awareness Week and a Giveaway!

Posted by Kimberly on March 3rd, 2013 in Daylight Savings, giveaways

Each year in the United States, the first week of March is National Sleep Awareness Week. This week is meant to coincide with Spring Daylight Saving Times as well as help promote the benefits and necessity of healthy sleep habits.

This year, Daylight Saving Time for the US and Canada will be on Sunday, March 10th. For those of you in Europe, DST will happen on March 31. Many of our friends in the Southern Hemisphere will have a fall back DST in April. Whenever DST happens for you, most of you already know how this can create havoc with your baby or toddler’s sleep schedule for a few days or weeks. Falling back in time will tend to create more problems than springing forward. If you’re worried about how the time change will affect your little on what you can do about it, be sure to check out this week’s article on Tuesday, when we will offer some tips for handling Daylight Saving Time with your baby’s schedule.

Here at The Baby Sleep Site, we certainly want to do our part to help promote sleep awareness! Below are some tips and facts that we hope you find helpful.

1. Amount of Sleep – The amount of sleep your baby or toddler needs varies by age. Newborns and young babies will obviously need more sleep than an older baby or toddler. For more information about how much sleep your baby or toddler needs by age, please see this article.

2. Schedule and Routine – A good schedule and routine are essential to helping your baby or toddler get the sleep they need. It also creates a sense of predictability and helps set their body clock which will ultimately keep your baby or toddler from getting overtired and being able to go to sleep when it’s time. Please visit our Schedules page for a full list of our sample baby and toddler sleep schedules by age.

3. How to Get Your Baby on a Schedule – Having a good idea of what kind of schedule your baby or toddler should be on is good information to have, but the next step is to then help your baby or toddler to adapt to that schedule. We suggest you read this post for some additional information on how to put your baby on a nap/sleep schedule.

As we have in previous years, we are also hosting a Sleep Awareness Week Giveaway! And this year, in addition to our Grand Prize, we have a fantastic list of other sleep related prizes to help your baby or toddler get the sleep they need (and you too!) Keep reading for more details about the prizes and how to enter!

10 Tips to Battling Toddler Fear and Other Bedtime Monsters

Posted by Kimberly on December 18th, 2012 in Toddlers

The following is a guest post from Dr. Kaylene Henderson. Please see below for more information about Dr. Henderson plus a giveaway!

I once heard that young children are hardwired to dream about frightening, child-eating creatures. Apparently it’s an evolutionary advantage to have had a few practice runs before being chased by a real saber-tooth tiger. These nightmares affect 50% of children and occur most often in the 3-6 year age group. Children’s brains have adapted to modern times though so instead of saber-tooth tigers it is now monsters which haunt our young children at night since these are the threatening figures that our little ones are exposed to in books and television shows.

The ways in which your child might express their night-time fears will depend on how often they’re frightened and on their age and language skills. Perhaps your child has become an expert in delaying tactics as bedtime approaches. Or does your little one start to panic as you tuck them in under the covers? Maybe you have a regular night-time visitor clambering up into your bed? My oldest child who was aged two at the time would wake screaming in the middle of every night. It was only after many months of this that we realized that her fear of sleep was a result of the monsters who visited her in her dreams, threatening to devour her.

If, as I was, you are battling your child’s bedtime fears, here are ten helpful tips that I have learnt from my dual roles as a Child Psychiatrist and as an experienced monster-battling mother:

Be aware of what your toddler is exposed to. Children learn so much from books and television yet don’t have the experience to know what is real and what themes are fantasy. To make matters worse, children’s movies and stories are often filled with monsters, child-eating wolves and murderous (and horribly misrepresented) step-mothers.
Don’t ever let anyone threaten your child with “the bogeyman” coming for them. It’s false and just plain mean.
Each bedtime engage your toddler in the same, predictable, wind-down routine to help them manage any anticipatory anxiety they might have.
If it helps them to feel braver, allow your child to have a dim night-light or a torch in their bedroom.
It’s important to acknowledge that even though monsters are not real, your toddler’s fear is very real. And real fear needs to be met with real comfort, even in the middle of the night.
Some parents seem to have success with “magical monster repellant spray” but this option never sat well with me. I preferred to be honest with my daughter, reassuring her that monsters did not exist and that her bedroom was a safe place. Similarly, repeated checking in her cupboards or under her bed or putting signs up prohibiting monster visitors would simply have confirmed for her that she was in real danger.
Instead, teach your child about dreams by letting them know that dreams are just our ideas while we’re asleep. Ideas cannot hurt us nor can they make something magically happen. To prove this, try playing a game with your child in which you both take turns thinking about something with your eyes closed, then open your eyes to check whether just thinking about it made it real. It can go like this: (You, with eyes closed) “An ice-cream”, (open your eyes), “Shame – no ice-cream. Just thinking about it didn’t make it real.” After you’ve taken turns with this, you can try some less fun ones such as “Getting my finger caught in the door” or if your child doesn’t seem too anxious, “A monster on the couch”.
By day, storytelling is a wonderful therapeutic tool. For children who are afraid of the dark or scared of monsters, the story should aim to shift the child’s attitude towards the monsters or the darkness through some event which isn’t compatible with fear. An example would be telling a story which ends with your child making friends with the feared monster.
Art is also an amazing communication tool and another great medium to help children overcome strong feelings. Having your child draw their fears for you (even if it looks like toddler-scribble) can be really helpful as you try to understand what’s happening for them. Seeing the drawn version of their scary monster with you, their big brave grown-up, by their side can also help children feel braver.
Lastly, see through the exhaustion for the opportunity this provides. If dreams are meant to prepare your child if ever they should meet a real-life ‘monster’, wouldn’t it be wonderful if one of the lessons they learnt is that you’ll be there for them joining them in battle.

Good luck and sweet dreams!

Dr. Kaylene Henderson is a Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist and Founder of Little Children Big Dreams which provides online help for children who are afraid of the dark or scared of monsters. Little Children Big Dreams offers personalized printable stories and parent guides to help children beat their fears of monsters or fears of the dark and sleep better at night. Parents are also invited to read Dr. Kaylene Henderson’s blog and Little Children Big Dreams Facebook page providing free access to parenting tips and Child Psychiatry information.

We will be selecting 15 winners to receive a personalized copy of their choice of either “Fear of the Dark” or “Fear of Monsters.” Each story will be accompanied with a parent guide and child certificate and will be emailed to the winner, ready to print and use with their child. You can read more about each of these eBooks on the Little Children, Big Dreams website.

We will be accepting entries from today through 8:59 pm EST, December 28, 2012.

Read what one parent had to say about the Dohm-NSF Sound Conditioner:

“My little Jane is 23 months old. The Dohm for baby is an essential part of our family’s lives. It’s the best sleep conditioner out there. Actually, my husband says those words are not strong enough. Having a baby means not getting much rest. Duh. But our Dohm for baby soothes Jane to peaceful sleep. Which soothes the rest of our house. I can’t describe how good that felt the first time it happened. I almost had to get used to relaxing again! We got some of our stressed-out-new-parents life back again. Dohm says “serious sleep”on the box. They sure got that right. Now if you’ll excuse me, Jane is snoozing and I am going to get some of that serious sleep myself. I suggest you do the same.” – Emily, Richmond, VA

One winner will receive a Dohm-NSF Sound Conditioner. Read more about the Dohm Sound Conditioner on the Marpac website.

Over the Moon: The Broadway Lullaby Project CD and Book

Over the Moon: The Broadway Lullaby Project is both a timeless benefit effort and a uniquely compelling multimedia experience. The ambitious project–which incorporates a two-CD, 26-song set, a lavishly-illustrated hardcover book of 17 songs from the album, a corresponding e-book encompassing the entire collection, and a documentary film–gathers many of contemporary musical theatre’s greatest composers and vocalists, as well as illustrators, all of whom have donated their talent to deliver an emotionally affecting set of new lullabies, some written specifically for Over the Moon.

This collection puts a fresh spin on the classic lullaby form, creating a warmly expressive song cycle that will touch listeners of all ages, while raising funds for respected breast cancer charities The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and Young Survival Coalition. The book, with its foreword by Julie Andrews and her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton, includes a 17-song CD with lyrics illustrated by some of America’s most esteemed theatrical designers and children’s book illustrators. The e-book includes music and illustrations for all 26 songs (iBooks and Nook versions only).

Over the Moon: The Broadway Lullaby Project’s roster of world-class vocalists, composers, and lyricists features some of Broadway’s most respected and popular performers and friends, including Michael Cerveris, Raul Esparza, Sutton Foster, Nona Hendryx, Rupert Holmes, Brian d’Arcy James, Nikki M. James, Tony Kushner, Rebecca Luker, 2012 Lead Actress in a Musical Tony Award Winner Audra McDonald, Donna Murphy, Kelli O’Hara, Anika Noni Rose, Stephen Sondheim, Will Swenson, and Vanessa Williams.

SwaddleBuddy Suit from BusyMomBoutique.com

The SwaddleBuddy Suit baby swaddle was designed so that baby can be safely buckled into a swing or bouncy seat while swaddled. The suit is 2 pieces: an arm restraint and a wrap that connect between the legs. Its fastened with hook and loop, so it has easy access for diaper changes! The arm wrap keeps the arms comfortably at the sides while the exterior wrap provides the comfort of being swaddled. Unlike other swaddles that wrap the arms, the SwaddleBuddy Suit uses hook and loop to prevent the arms from becoming unwrapped by an especially wiggly swaddle houdini. Find out more about the SwaddleBuddy Suit on the BusyMomBoutique.com website. One winner will win a SwaddleBuddy Suit.

Nighty Night Nursing Light from BusyMomBoutique.com

The Nighty Night Nursing Light is a multi-functional light that attaches directly to moms clothing while breastfeeding. Requiring just the push of a button, this small night-light gives off just the right amount of soft lighting. The nursing light also has an optional gentle vibration alarm that can be set for the needed nursing time so if mom falls asleep while nursing, the gentle vibration alarm will awaken her so that she can safely put baby back to bed or perform another night time task. Learn more about the Nighty Night Nursing Light on the BusyMomBoutique.com website. One winner will win a Nighty Night Nursing Light.

Spoil Mom! A Mother’s Day Giveaway

Posted by Kimberly on May 4th, 2012 in giveaways

The love we have for our children and the love we receive from our children are the gifts we are fortunate enough to receive every day. While we all know the love we have for our children is unconditional and flows from us naturally, research also shows that a mother’s love for her child actually helps make parts of their brain grow more, giving them a greater memory capacity and ability to handle life stresses. But we don’t need scientific research studies to tell us about the profound impact of a mother’s love on her child.

Mother’s love is peace. It need not be acquired, it need not be deserved. – Erich Fromm,

How Yoga Can Help Your Baby or Toddler Sleep

Posted by Kimberly on April 3rd, 2012 in Sleep Training

Today’s article is a guest article by Laurie Jordan, author of Yawning Yoga: A Goodnight Book for A Good Night’s Sleep and the creator of Little Sprouts Yoga for Kaia Yoga Wellness Centers. See below for full bio.

Sleep problems are very common among children. In fact, MOST children aren’t getting proper sleep at night. And every parent knows that when children are sleep deprived, they are likely to have a hard time controlling their emotions. This can lead to potential problems at home and at school, and can be exhausting for mom and dad.

Incorporating yoga into your child’s bedtime routine, provides the perfect sleep solution for your child by helping shift her minds’ focus from being preoccupied with daily stressors to focusing her attention to yoga postures, relaxation techniques and breath work, with the ultimate goal being a restful sleep.

The benefits of establishing a bedtime yoga routine for your child:

• The combination of breath work, guided imagery, and soothing yoga postures helps release excess energy, tension and stress while calming your child and helping her move towards stillness.
• Helps cultivate a relaxed state of body and mind and provides tools for stress management.
• Develops the ability to center and calm themselves all situations.
• Empowers children to be less reactive and more at peace with themselves.
• Lays the foundation for a lifetime of health and well-being.
• Enables kids to fall asleep faster and achieve a higher quality of sleep.
• Helps reduce irritability, crankiness and hyperactivity.
• Encourages parents to interact and bond with their kids in a positive and healthy way that everyone will enjoy.
• Parents can get their kids to sleep with greater ease.
• Parents are likely to can enjoy a higher quality of sleep if their kids are sleeping soundly.

The following sequence has been carefully designed and will help a children establish a bedtime routine that is proven to work:

TAKE TWO:

Calming breath exercise. Make sure your child doesn’t hold his/her breath.
1) Take deep breaths in through your nose to the count of two; and
2) Breathe out through your nose to the count of two
3) Repeat 3-5 times

BEDTIME BUG:

Also known as happy baby, this pose relieves stress and calms the mind.
1) Lie on your back
2) Grab the outside edges of your feet with your hands
3) Open your knees as wide apart as your torso
4) Draw your knees down toward your armpits
5) Move slowly from side to side to massage your lower back
6) Hold this pose for at least 5 full deep breaths

THE TWISTER:

This is a simple pose that soothes digestion and helps relieve stress in the body.
1) Lay flat on your back
2) Spread your arms out to each side, like a “T”
3) Bring your knees to your chest and slowly drop them over to one side
4) Slowly bring your knees back up to your chest and again gently drop them to the other side
5) Encourage holding for 5 breaths on each side

GOODNIGHT LITTLE BODY:

This meditative exercise helps you move closer towards stillness by saying good night to each body part.
1) Start with your toes and move all the way up to your head
2) Say good night to your toes, then each foot, your shins, knees, thighs, then hips
3) Continue with your pelvis, behind, stomach, ribs, chest, then entire torso
4) Next is your fingers, hands, forearms, elbows, upper arms, your shoulders, neck and your face
5) Then relax your face and say good night to your entire body.

WISHING STAR:

Is a meditation exercise designed to prepare the mind for sleep. It clears away stressful thoughts and shifts your mind’s focus to something calming and positive.
1) Lay flat on your back, arms at your sides
2) Relax your body
3) Close your eyes
4) Imagine a star and it’s starlight shining in you. Make a wish.
5) Allow enough time to explore this image

Kids of all ages will be stretching and twisting and breathing their way into dreamland!

National Sleep Awareness Week Giveaway 2012

Posted by Kimberly on March 6th, 2012 in Daylight Savings, giveaways

Yesterday was the first day of National Sleep Awareness week in the United States. This Sleep Awareness week is meant to also coincide with US Daylight Saving Time on Sunday, March 11, 2012. National Sleep Awareness week is a public education campaign to help promote and educate the importance of sleep. Here at The Baby Sleep Site™, we know all too well the importance of sleep for babies, toddlers and their very tired parents. Daylight Saving Time is often a concern for many parents who fear that the time change could create additional or new sleep problems. Our hope is that our articles and resources provide the information and tips that parents need to help teach their little ones healthy sleep habits and to get through transition periods like Daylight Saving Time.

Here are some baby and toddler sleep facts from the National Sleep Foundation:

Sleep is the primary activity of the brain during early development.
The sleep-wake cycle is regulated by light and dark and it takes time for a baby’s sleep rhythms to devlop
By 3 to 6 months of age, most babies have a regular sleep-wake cycle.
Developing a regular sleep time routine can help a baby or toddler to understand when it’s time to go to sleep.

Daylight Saving Time

Here are some sleep tips for how to help your baby to sleep later after spring forward daylight saving time:

Change your daytime routines to be an hour later, not just sleep
Ensure your baby naps at least one hour for each nap (except for the third nap of the day for babies taking three naps)
Make sure you set bedtime to be the new time HOWEVER if your bedtime was too late before, make it earlier than the new clock time (which is still later than the old)
If you don’t already have them, try room-darkening blinds/curtains
Ensure your baby is eating enough during the day

You can read more of our tips on how to survive the Spring Forward Daylight Saving Time HERE.

Giveaway

For National Sleep Awareness Week, we thought it would be a great time to have a giveaway! For this giveaway we have a grand prize of the winner’s choice of a $150 gift card to Amazon or Target and along with several sleep related prizes which are meant to either help you and your baby with getting more sleep or with learning healthy sleep habits.

Whether you are interested in co-sleeping, crying it out, setting schedules, night weaning or feeding at night, this book covers it all!

SnoozeShade

Sometimes it is unavoidable that you are out and about and it is your baby’s nap time or baby just simply zonks out. With the SnoozeShade, babies can get the sleep they need when out and about with SnoozeShade – a range of award-winning, breathable blackout covers that make any time sleep time. Sometimes it’s just inevitable that your baby or toddler will fall asleep while you’re out running errands or shopping. The SnoozeShade can help your child to get some rest during those times!

SnoozeShade Original, fits all single strollers, and SnoozeShade Infant Car Seat, for most group 0/0+ infant carriers, are designed to help babies get the rest they need by creating a dark, comfortable sleep cocoon which blocks out 94% of light.

Yawing Yoga

Yawning Yoga is kid-tested (and parent approved!). It is truly and uniquely a book designed specifically to help kids sleep. The books’ careful sequencing makes it the perfect sleepy time book and helps a child establish a bedtime routine that is proven to work.

Good Nite Lite

The Good Nite Lite is the perfect nightlight for helping babies and toddler which helps promote a child’s ability to get into a healthy sleep pattern. This nightlight features a nighttime moon light that is set at bedtime to give off a soft blue glow that provides enough light to soothe your child but is not too bright as to inhibit sleeping. Parents can then set the light for a specific wake-up time and the sun lights up letting your baby or toddler learn and understand that until the sun lights up, it is still sleep time. The Good Nite Lite is a great visual cue for young children to begin moving from waking up too early and interfering with getting a full night’s rest.

One winner will receive a Good Nite Lite to give their toddler their own sun and moon to help them understand when it’s time to get up and when it’s time to go to bed!

You can order your own Good Nite Lite on Amazon.
