I liked to think of myself as a bit of a granola only with better shoes. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, natural parenting was aligned with my beliefs.

We often hear mom’s say their child is going through a 4 month sleep regression. Is this an actual entity or an urban legend.

There comes a time in a Mom’s life when you are thinking… okay kiddo, I know you can put yourself to sleep without me, you are gaining weight steadily, and you’re getting up there in age……so why am I still feeding you in the middle of the night?

A reader contacted me with questions about her daughter’s 4 month sleep regression. This is her second child and she had been working on establishing good sleep habits from the very beginning

One of the hardest parts of being a parent is figuring out what we can expect from our children.

Why was my newborn so fussy in the early evening? What was I doing wrong? We were in the midst of the “witching hour”.

Congratulations! You’ve made it to the 6 month mark where things generally get a little easier. A this age babies can stay awake a little longer and you have bigger windows to get out of the house and do more things for yourself without compromising your baby’s sleep.

One of the biggest mistakes parents can make is having an arbitrary bedtime that’s too late for their baby. They think that if the keep the child up later, they will sleep in later. This is a fallacy.
