Great ideas for your baby’s first year of life.

This is a wonderful article by Emily B. Malone who gives great suggestions of what to do during baby’s first year:

babble.com/baby/10-things-you-should-do-during-babys-first-year/

  • Find a good babysitter and use her.
  • Let them sleep on you as often as possible. (I will add a caveat to that-only up to the age when their biological rhythms are starting to develop, usually at 4 months.)
  • Carve out time for yourself.
  • Keep a journal.
  • Create a memory box.
  • Take a daily/weekly/monthly photo.
  • Dig up old photos of you and your spouse.
  • Record your baby’s laugh and cry.  (I will add babble to that!)
  • Travel-the-earlier-the-better (and also before their bio rhythms are starting to develop.)
  • Record videos as much as you can.

Enjoy these great ideas!

Six reasons why I am the right sleep consultant for you.

  1. My knowledge and experience will help families focus on a plan that suits their parenting philosophy, their emotional and physical state, and other important variables that are necessary to find the right fit. Every family is different, and as a qualified child sleep consultant, I will not offer a “one size fits all” sleep plan; all child sleep plans will be customized to the families needs.
  2. As a trained child sleep consultant, I am able to keep families on task and motivated while implementing a strategy. This is a very challenging task for families to do on their own. I am able to make quick adjustments when the plan requires a change, thereby keeping the family on the right track.
  3.  I am able to ensure that both feeding needs and sleep needs are being met.
  4.  I educate parents on healthy sleep habits for their family’s immediate concerns, as well as healthy sleep habits   for a lifetime.
  5. I am there to support you every step of the way. From the initial phone conversation where I assess your situation and needs, to evaluating the detailed intake form you provide for me; to the implementation of the sleep plan I design for your family, to following up daily-to chart your progress, address any concerns and answer all questions.
  6. Along with my expertise in working with sleep deprived families, you can feel confident in my knowledge and understanding of safety issues because:  I am a “Safe to Sleep Champion” and keep up with the American Academy Of Pediatrics (AAP) safety guidelines; and consumer reports on baby products and equipment.  I continually further my education in areas pertaining to babies, children, moms and families.

"Working with Angela from Babes in Sleepland, our daughter Violet has gotten so much better in just a week’s time.  She’s been so full of smiles and I feel liberated.  Now we can fall head-over-heels in love with her. When you are sleep-deprived, it’s hard to be truly happy to see your child in the morning when you have been hanging out with them all night!  Angela, thank you for your support during all these changes. Your business certainly fills a gap that sleep-deprived moms, dads, babies and families need.  With your training and expertise, you are able to take care of moms to get them and the whole family sleeping."
