The majority of daycares in the United States shift babies from two naps per day to one midday nap at 12 months. For many 12 month olds, this transition is happening too early and can lead to a variety of challenges.
Dropping to one nap too early can result in an overtired child, which can lead to unpleasant evenings and bedtimes and may trigger night wakings or extra early morning wakings. If you have a little one in this situation, youâll want to hear Allisonâs three tips for improving sleep during this tricky period of transition.

Our sleep coaches meet with a lot of couples who are trying to decide if a formal sleep training approach is right for their family. Sometimes, one parent believes sleep training is necessary, and one parent is hesitant.
In this episode, Allison is sharing some of the common concerns she hears from parents who are considering sleep training, and explains how she works through these concerns with her potential clients. She provides advice for getting on the same page with your partner, and determining what steps you can take to improve your childâs sleep, whether you decide to sleep train or not.

Many children between 3 and 5 years old attend a daycare where rest or nap time is offered daily. Often, a child who is struggling with sleep at home catches up on their sleep by taking a long nap at daycare. And when bedtime is a struggle at home, parents sometimes ask the daycare to either skip the nap or cap it after a certain amount of sleep. Itâs not uncommon for daycares to respond by telling parents that they are legally required to offer a nap and canât wake their child up until the end of the nap period. So what can a parent in this situation do?
Listen in as Allison offers advice to help you figure out if the nap is the reason bedtime is a struggle, then navigate the necessary changes both at home and at daycare.
FREE Challenge Starts September 4th - 3 Days To Smoother Bedtimes. If you have a 2.5 to 6 year old and you want to go from bedtimes that take forever to shorter bedtimes and your child falling asleep faster, sign up today!

Allison is joined by Angela OâBrien for a vulnerable conversation about the importance of exposure and inclusion as it relates to the special needs community. Angela is a professional organizer, host of the Especially Organized podcast, and a special needs mom.
Allison and Angela discuss the reasons itâs important for our young children to be exposed to people with special needs, the biases that still exist in todayâs communities and why we need to work towards a more inclusive society. Both Allison and Angela share their own personal stories of how individuals with special needs have impacted their families.
Angela opens up about the joys and challenges of parenting a child with intellectual disabilities, makes suggestions for how parents can approach and include families with special needs children, as well as offers guidance on how parents of special needs children can find support and community in their own lives.

August is the month many families find they need to tighten up their sleep schedules to prepare for back to school. In this episode, Allison is providing back to school sleep tips for elementary school aged children. Time and again, studies have shown that children who receive an optimal amount of sleep have greater learning engagement and retention, improved emotional regulation and impulse control, and even have reduced anxiety, which translates to less separation anxiety at drop off and greater independence at school.
Listen in as Allison explains the amount of sleep that is appropriate for this age group and how to find an appropriate sleep schedule that will help your child thrive at school.

August is the month many families find they need to tighten up their sleep schedules to prepare for back to school. In this episode, Allison is providing back to school sleep tips for preschoolers and toddlers starting daycare for the first time. The research is clear - children who receive an optimal amount of sleep have greater learning engagement and retention, improved emotional regulation and impulse control, and even reduced anxiety, which translates to less separation anxiety at drop off and greater independence at school.
Listen in as Allison explains the amount of sleep that is appropriate for toddlers and preschoolers. Sheâll help you set the necessary sleep schedule - from identifying the time theyâll need to wake for preschool or daycare, to shifting them to the corresponding bedtime. Plus, she discusses how naps at home and naps on cots at school or daycare play into their overall sleep needs.

Parents often have concerns about the changing dynamics when you prepare to add a second child to their family. Their fears vary - from how theyâll spread their love and attention across two children, to the logistics of getting through life with two little ones, to how this new addition will affect their career, marriage and relationship with their first child. Some parents also worry about being older and sleep deprived the second time around, or how theyâll manage if they donât have a local support network to lean on.
We dove into the topic of going from one to two children in last weekâs episode with Ellen Hayden. Ellen shared her personal experience of welcoming her second child. She shared that the transition went better than she expected and she was pleasantly surprised with how naturally she and her family were able to work through the issues she was most nervous about before giving birth. While this is the case for many families, others face more challenges during this transition.
Allison is back this week to provide a slightly different take on this transition. She shares two more stories of moms expecting their second child, both her own story and that of another mom in this community. She elaborates on the worries they both had before their second child arrived - some similar to the worries Ellen had, and some very different. She provides a glimpse into her own family during this delicate time - the biggest challenges her family faced after her second daughterâs birth, what strategies they put in place that really improved the situation, as well as her lessons learned along the way.

Going from one to two children is a transition point that parents often have angst about and find challenging. Our sleep coach Ellen Hayden recently welcomed her second baby. To provide a first-hand account of the ups and downs that happen during the months before and after welcoming a new baby, Allison had two candid conversations with Ellen. They spoke first before the new babyâs arrival to discuss how Ellen was feeling about the idea of becoming a mom of two. Allison asked Ellen about her concerns, the things she was most looking forward to, as well as the challenges Ellen and her husband were preparing to tackle after the new babyâs arrival. Their second conversation took place after Ellenâs second babyâs arrival. Ellen shared the differences in her two experiences with labor and delivery, recovery, feeding, and sleep during the early newborn weeks. She explained how the reality of adding a second baby to the family differed from what she anticipated.

Buckle up listeners, this is a good one. This episode is packed with helpful information. Allison talks to Bev Sidders, a chemical engineer turned licensed master esthetician, about all things sunscreenâŠ. plus a little bonus on bug spray as well.
Each question Allison asks Bev yields tons of great information. Here are some of the highlights: how to choose the right sunscreen for everyone in your family, which sunscreen ingredients you should look for and which you should avoid and why, how to use the EWG app to check the safety of the products your family uses, Bevâs recommendations for specific sunscreen products for the whole family, what SPF we should be using and how often we need to reapply, bug spray brands Bev recommends and tips for applying, how to treat a sunburn, whether sunscreen really expires, whether going outside unprotected to boost Vitamin D levels is a good idea, the scoop on all those foundation and SPF combos out there⊠and much more.
Notes from Bev:
â choose a 100% mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide
â avoid aerosol sprays to limit risk of exposure to benzene
â avoid chemical sunscreens with aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and trolamine salicylate (both were deemed unsafe by the FDA in 2019)
â avoid chemical sunscreens with oxybenzone and octinoxate (both are potential endocrine system disruptors and are not reef safe, but are found in nearly 65% of all non-mineral sunscreens)
â avobenzone is the least dangerous choice if you have to use a chemical sunscreen
â avoid sunscreens containing shea butter, petroleum, sweet almond oil, cocoa butter, retinols and niacinamide if you are prone to acne

Allison definitely learned from personal experience that summer vacations with infants or young children can be difficult. These adventures definitely can feel more like trips than vacations because young children still need constant care and they have the ability to derail any plans very quickly. In this replay of our listenersâ favorite episode, Allison will help you navigate the sleep aspect of your summer travel so all the other pieces can flow more smoothly.
Sheâll cover how to work around naps and bedtime when traveling by car, how to best navigate your childâs sleep schedule when flying, how to set up your childâs sleep space in your new location, what items are true necessities when traveling with young children, what to do if youâre sharing a bedroom with your child while you travel, and, probably most importantly, sheâll walk you through how to reset your sleep habits quickly once youâve come back home.
Allison recommends these products in this episode: travel white noise, Slumber Pod (use code SLEEPANDWELLNESS to save 5%), SlumberTot Toddler Bed (use code SLEEPANDWELLNESS to save 5%), travel toddler mattress
Allison mentions episode 26 on the crib to bed transition.

As a recap to the previous three episodes aimed at building awareness of maternal mental health, Allison is sharing what she thinks every expecting and new parent should know in the hopes of helping other new and expecting parents who may struggle or are struggling postpartum.
Given her own experience, the work she does with parents and the previous guests sheâs interviewed, Allison believed she had a robust understanding of the challenges of maternal mental health. But then she interviewed Dr. Nicole Rankins (an OB/GYN), Dr. Stephanie Grice (a pediatrician) and Wendy Davis (President and CEO of Postpartum Support International). These three guests provided new insights. In todayâs episode, Allison is sharing the CliffsNotes version of those three interviews.

The month of May is dedicated to building awareness of maternal mental health. One in five women will suffer from postpartum anxiety or depression, and this is the number one complication of pregnancy and childbirth.
In todayâs episode, Allison is joined by Dr. Stephanie Grice, a practicing pediatrician and a mom. Dr. Grice details the role a pediatrician can play in supporting moms dealing with postpartum depression or anxiety. She explains how this role has changed over the last decade, and what efforts are being made by pediatric providers to support the mental health of all members of a family.
She and Allison discuss the thoughts that might deter a new parent from confiding in their pediatrician, as well as the tools pediatricians can use to determine if a new parent is struggling. Listen in to hear the steps a parent can take if they feel they need assistance, or are having trouble finding someone to help.
Dr. Grice also shares the exciting new initiative theyâve launched in her practice that puts a whole new spin on caring for the whole family. Itâs an approach we think will help a lot of families.
