I haven’t made an intro post in such a long time and I wanted to give my followers some info on who I am!

First and foremost…

Hi!!! Welcome!! My name is Julie, owner of

I live in Eastern Canada with my family:

My husband Louis
My daughter Audrey
And my fur daughter Bowie!

I’m bilingual and speak both English and French fluently!

I LOVE music, you can either find me singing around the house or listening to music most of the day!

I started my sleep consulting business in Sept 2021 and have been having such an amazing time since!

Here’s some info on Louis:

Lover of the gym and all things music - he plays guitar and can be found playing song for Audrey our daughter!

Audrey is a year old (she just turned 1 at the start of Feb!) she loves to laugh and play.

Her favourite things to do are to dance, run around, woof while pointing to any animal and eat!

Bowie loves sleep, eat cheese and bell peppers - she can usually be found next to the window trying to have conversations with dogs that are walking by.

Her all time faves are t-r-e-a-t-s and r-i-d-e-s…

I’d love to learn more about you!

Tell me where you’re from below!

The sleepless nights, having to hold your little one for all naps, needing to go p*e but worrying your baby will wake if you move…

So you start to wonder… WHEN can I start sleep training my baby?😫

After 4 months of age is the recommended time to start sleep training!

Now this doesn’t mean you can’t start healthy sleep habit from the start - you absolutely can!

✨ From birth you can:

- Keep an eye on wake windows and the total amount of sleep your little one gets in 24 hours.
- Set up a consistent sleep space that helps rectify day/night confusion.
- You can wait a minute or two before going to get your baby when he/she starts crying.
- Create a safe sleep space for your child, one that can reduce to risk of SIDS.

✨ After 4 months of age you can:

- Start implementing more concrete independent sleep strategies.
- Wait a bit longer before going to see your little one when they wake crying.
- Potentially attempt naps in their own room (not necessary - but some parents like doing this)
- Break sleep crutches or props that have crept their way into your life since birth. (These can be things such as feeding to sleep, bouncing/swinging to sleep, being rocked to sleep etc.)
- Create a routine for sleep - at bed and nap time, it doesn’t have to last forever - it just has to be something consistent that lets your child know that sleep time is coming.

When approaching sleep training it’s not about the cry it out method, it’s about implementing things that make sense for you and your family/parenting style.

Time and time again I hear the fear and link of people thinking:
Sleep Training = Cry It Out.

No. Just No.

Does this mean your child will never shed a tear through sleep training?

Unfortunately, no.

But the techniques I teach are some that make both your and your child feel supported throughout the process!💗

Are you ready to get back to getting restful sleep?

Did you know your baby being too hot or too cold can increase the risk of SIDS?

I got a DM last week asking how a baby should be dressed when temperatures outside are starting to get lower.

I figured more parents would have the same question!👏

Hats should be avoided as they can come off and cause a possible suffocation hazard. Mitts can be used but only when it’s very cold. (See chart for info)

✨How do I recommend you keep an eye on your child’s room/body temp?

For the room temp- I suggest getting a small thermostat from the store, one that registers temperature and room humidity (is it not humid enough? Then you can use a humidifier!)

You can place it in a central spot of the room, ours is on the nightstand next to the rocking chair.

Feel your child’s nape (neck/hairline area) to see if it’s hot/humid or cold when you get them after they’ve had a nap.

If it’s humid/sweaty then you know it was too hot in the room or they had too many layers on.

For example, if my child wears a fleece pyjama to go to bed I know I’ll use a thinner sleep sack, but if I use a cotton pyjama, she has a thicker sleep sack. (0.5 TOG is her thin one, and 1-1.5 TOG is her thick one)

✨What is a TOG?

TOG is a unit of measure that says how thick/warm a sleep sack is. They range from 0.5 TOG to 3 TOG.

See the label of your sleep sack to see what TOG yours is. You could also check the manufacturer’s website to get more TOG info.

I consistently keep my daughter’s room between 20.5-21.5 Celsius (68.9-70.7 Fahrenheit) so it makes it easy to know how to dress her!

I know it’s hard when regressions hit and all you can say is: “UGH PLEASE SLEEP!”😫

The lack of sleep can make it that we get to a point where we’ll just do anything to get our little one to sleep.

✨Examples of “bad” habits that might creep in are:

- Feeding to sleep
- Rocking to sleep
- Holding them while they sleep
- Bouncing to sleep
- Constantly having to go see them to re-insert their pacifier

✨Are you wondering why I keep putting “bad” in quotation marks?

A common misconception with sleep training is that we just leave our child in their crib to cry the whole night.

No. Just no.

There’s a happy medium and we just have to find what will work with your particular child.

They’re only young once and I must say that I rock/cuddle my girl multiple times per day every. single. day.

✨To help reduce these “bad” habits it’s all about timing and consistency:

- Feeding to sleep? Shift your feeding to the start of your bedtime routine.

- Rocking to sleep? Rock while you’re reading/singing to your little one and place them to bed drowsy but awake.

- Constant crying because their Paci fell out? Give them 5 minutes to try and get it back in on their own, if not then go in. With time they’ll get the hang of getting it back in on their own and you won’t have to go see them to help!

If the Paci keeps being an issue it might be time to cut ties with it.

It’s all case dependent!

Imagine working so hard on something but then turning around and having all the progress ruined (or feel like it’s ruined)😫

When it comes to sleep training, it’s 1000% a team effort.

There might be one parent that takes the lead more than the other BUT the non-leading parent needs to be supportive and be willing to give a helping hand.

As a Certified sleep coach I'm able to give you amazing support when sleep training your little one but also having the support of a partner makes things progress so much quicker!

It’s possible to get good results with having only one parent taking over sleep training, BUT if the other parent/caregiver resorts to the old methods to deal with night wakings or naps then it makes any progress go at a snails pace.

Imagine feeling like you’re treading in water and there’s nowhere to hang onto to catch your breath.😭

Having that consistency from all parties helps make sleep training so much quicker.

When all parties work as a team then your child isn’t getting mixed messages. So the “new” way gets to be their norm in no time at all! 👏

Let me know below- if you were to sleep train, would you and your significant other be all in? Do you think there would be some resistance?
