Solving Newborn and Toddler Sleep Challenges with Sarah from Little Slumber Stars

Belly Birth Beyond with Pelvic Floor Momma

Today, I’m chatting with Sarah from Little Slumber Stars, a certified pediatric sleep consultant and occupational therapist.

Little Slumber Stars got its start when Sarah noticed what a huge issue sleep was for her Occupational Therapy clients. They were showing up to appointments exhausted, running on fumes, and sleep deprivation was negatively impacting their progress.

Little Slumber Stars uses a holistic approach to sleep consulting, taking into account each family's unique situation.

In this episode, we explore sleep strategies for newborns, including balancing daytime naps and instilling healthy sleep habits early on.

We also talk about common misconceptions about sleep, the right time to transition toddlers from cribs to beds, and how to address sleep challenges related to crying and sleep training.

Sarah emphasizes the importance of customizing sleep solutions that are unique to each family and educating new parents to help them and their children get better rest.
