Little Z's Sleep Podcast

When polled about when the last date night was, it was almost like crickets. But then! When asked "What's holding you back from getting a babysitter?" the flood gates opened! Hundreds of you said you're struggling with trusting others to watch your child and can't afford to hire a babysitter. These are big topics! And I actually didn't feel 100% qualified to come and tell YOU how to manage it. So I called up my mom, the wisest person I know, and invited her on the show to talk through it! 

After baby you may find yourself battling a lot of "I HAD NO IDEA..." moments. Today on the Podcast Sarah Thorpe, a certified Childbirth Educator, Postpartum Doula, Pediatric RN & owner of Nurturing Birth & Beyond explains what life is like postpartum. 

If you have a phone and a sleep-less baby, you CAN make sleep a thing! Take it from Katie who searched "sleep" on the Podcast app, found Little Z's Sleep Podcast, binged listened, purchased Baby Sleep E-Coaching™ and VIOLA.... amazing sleep! All the way across the world! What a full circle moment to have Katie ON the podcast to share her story.

Since 2015 I've been working with families around the world to help them teach their baby, toddler or preschooler to sleep well. Things have changed a lot since then, and today on the Podcast I'm sharing the story with you! 

We've all encountered a family member or friend who gives you the side eye when you say "It's naptime, I can't come over." Katy & Lou of SlumberPod are on the podcast (again!) today talking about the working dynamic between mother + daughter communication when sleep training AND how to gain confidence in your role as mother.

Incline sleepers are being recalled everywhere...which is GREAT news for the sleep world, physical therapists and the like. But often with the recall of a product parents are wondering what to do instead?! 

If your child is complaining about how hungry they are, there's a 50/50 chance it's for real! How do you tell the difference? Amy Palanjian of Yummy Toddler Food helps us find out! 

Got a little one with excessive drool or crankiness...and swollen gums?! In this podcast Becca talks with Kate Morse, Pediatric RN, to review natural remedies for teething. We also share why the medicated remedies should be your last resort, and what signs to look for that would require medical help. 

Years ago, people believed when you slept your whole body shutdown. But when sleep studies became a thing in the 60s/70s, we started learning quite the opposite!! Your brain actually is totally active during your sleep, and doing a lot of work to keep you healthy! In this episode we go through the science behind our sleep, what happens when we cycle in and out of sleep cycles, what sleep apnea is, why snoring isn't normal, and why we would certainly die if we didn't sleep. 

We're a few weeks out from Thanksgiving holiday, and you know I'm all about helping you make sleep a thing...even through the off times!

This one’s for the skeptic parent! As Dr. Cara says, most all the families she seeks start out as skeptics and end up being advocates for chiropractic care.
