Thu, 21 Dec 2023 - 16min - 239 - Why Is My Toddler Waking In The Night
Is your toddler waking in the night all of a sudden, leaving you at a loss?
Whether your toddler is typically a rock star sleeper or one that keeps you on your toes, night wakings and early morning wakings are never something we look forward to or embrace as parents.
Believe it or not, it can be very common, and even normal, for toddlers to suddenly begin waking during the night or the early morning.
In this episode, I’m sharing with you four areas of your child’s sleep that you should check when it comes to solving your toddler’s night wakings.
Addressing these areas of your toddler’s sleep will help your toddler to stop waking throughout the night (or early morning!) and start sleeping a blissful, 11-12 hours again!

As a Sleep Consultant, my job is to encourage and guide families to sleep success. This is great! Until the Type A Mom I’m working with begins to feel in bondage to sleep rules and schedules. That is never what we want!

Your worth is not linked to a short nap. You will have off days, you will bend the rules.And that’s okay.

Thu, 03 Aug 2023 - 17min - 221 - Traveling Internationally with a Baby and a Toddler
Imagine what it would be like to travel to Italy and enjoy Tuscany and Rome and all of the beautiful sights with your baby and your preschooler. How do you feel about that? How does the thought of an overnight flight and traveling across the ocean sound? If you are like, “Sign me up!”, then you’re going to love what we’re talking about today!
But if you're also like, “Oh my gosh, that sounds like a total heck no for me! Not until my kids are older!” then stick around. Because if you have the inkling to travel, but you're thinking, “No, I need to wait till my kids are older,” I am such a proponent of NOT waiting and enjoying these times. Yes, there are situations and ages where it's a little bit easier than others, but I still think that making the memories and doing the darn thing is always worth it.
This week on the podcast I invited Krista Jones, who is a friend, an incredibly talented website designer, and a mom to Bennett and Jack, as we talk through their travels to Italy.

Every once in a while people ask me, “How long do I need to keep up this 7:00pm bedtime?” And my answer is, “Well, quite a while! Kids need a lot of sleep!” BUT there does come a day where you can enjoy a later bedtime.

I want to tell you this because most of y'all are listening with babies or toddlers or preschoolers and you're wondering, “When will I get to enjoy these summer evenings??” So I'm sharing with you what we do and how we transitioned from a 7pm bedtime to a 9pm bedtime over the years.

Thu, 16 Feb 2023 - 12min - 203 - Why I Don't Teach Cry It Out
It’s no secret that the Cry It Out (CIO) Method is an extremely polarizing topic.
I have always been known for my straightforward, “no fluff” content and that is something I developed after being a third and a fifth grade teacher.
As an elementary teacher, you have one very small opportunity to capture your students’ attention.
If you don’t get to the point and capture your students’ attention, you’ve lost the pivotal teaching moment!
The same is true in the sleep consulting world.
That’s why at Little Z’s, we have made it our mission to tackle the heart of each sleep topic that we cover.
We don’t beat around the bush.
When it comes to the Cry It Out Method, the “OG,” “no fluff” Becca is back.
In this video and blog, I tell you exactly why I don’t teach the Cry It Out Method in any of my Sleep Training Programs.

They are constantly growing and changing, and sometimes this triggers a regression around 18 months old.

We're celebrating our FOURTH year of Podcasting! Would you leave a review on Apple Podcast or Google Reviews to share your story of how you've made sleep a thing with Little Z's?!
On this episode I'm discussing tips and strategies on room sharing with your baby. Remember that the AAP has a "suggestion" to room share for 6 months, if possible 12 months. But this is not a rule that you MUST follow- it's a suggestion that you need to take into consideration with your lifestyle.
Some parents want to room share for as long as possible, and others start baby in their own room from day 1! This is your decision and you do need to make the call for what's best for YOUR family.

Thu, 06 May 2021 - 22min - 146 - How To Deal With Sleep Training Parent-Shamers
I'm not here to pick a fight with the anti-sleep training world. I'm just here to finally stand up for what I do. In this episode I'm stating my opinion about the anti-sleep consulting world / anti-sleep training world. I even took to Instagram to get YOUR questions about sleep training and how to handle parent shamers who come swinging.
I commit that everyone we do here at Little Z's will be helpful and get you access to sleep. WARNING: this is a little longer of an episode and it's my totally raw opinions.
