The million dollar question... what do those adorable little signals from your baby really mean? 🤨 While you may think baby is making all those cute, adorable noises because, well, they are a baby.

What Is Reverse Cycling?!

Reverse cycling occurs when your baby starts consuming fewer calories during the day, leading them to wake up for those missed calories at night. This can quickly disrupt that hard-earned sleep you were so excited about. 😩 Sound familiar? Don't worry, you're not alone! Many parents experience reverse cycling at some point. In this blog post, I'm explaining everything you need to know about reverse cycling

there have been several studies that have concluded (with statistical significance) that letting your child cry while sleep training has no notable impact on stress levels, feelings of attachment/ abandonment, or child emotions and behavior.

In fact, research has shown the exact opposite!

Not only did these studies disprove that letting your baby cry will harm them physically or emotionally, they proved that letting your baby cry results in:

💤shorter onset of sleep
💤less night wakings

👆🏻 THAT is all possible for you. I know you have tons of questions and are just looking for some support. But sometimes, it’s hard to know where to even start. And then we end up feeling awkward or uncomfortable or ashamed. I know, because I’ve been there. And I can help you get past it.

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY 👀 Tune in for the very first sneak peek of my new website, launching on Wednesday, April 3rd! I’m already so excited for our new look and feel — and the best part is that the site is jam-packed with free guides, helpful resources, and ways you can work with me to make the most of the newborn months. I hope you love this little sneak peek–and more importantly, I hope you’re just as obsessed with the new site as I am!

There’s a lot of conflicting information out there regarding newborn care - you can google almost anything and find two supporting claims that say the opposite of one another.
