Toddler sleep can feel like a moving target! JUST when you think you’ve got it figured out, naps shift, bedtime battles creep in, or your little one starts waking from nightmares. If you’re in that tricky 12-24 month window, this episode is packed with clarity and encouragement.

I’m joined by pediatric sleep coach Brittany Sheehan, who breaks down what’s really going on during this stage and how to handle the most common toddler sleep struggles. Together, we cover:

• How to understand your toddler’s evolving sleep schedule
• What to expect (and how to survive) the transition to one nap
• Simple strategies for handling bedtime resistance
• Tips for keeping routines on track while traveling
• Nightmares, night terrors, and how to respond when your toddler wakes scared
• Helping your little one through fears and anxiety that can interrupt sleep

If you’ve been second-guessing yourself at bedtime or feel like sleep is always shifting, this episode will give you the tools to move forward with confidence.

Did you know this was a thing?! Most of us don’t, and even if we do, we don't pay attention to them because we're afraid they're overwhelming, filled with confusing jargon, or we just assume our doctor will tell us everything we need to know.

But here’s the thing… those inserts hold A LOT of important information, and understanding them can help you make informed decisions for your family.

That’s why in this week’s episode, I sat down with Alexandra from Just The Inserts to break it all down in a way that’s simple, clear, and practical. We cover what you need to know, what to look out for, and how to feel confident as the one making decisions for your child.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

• What are medical inserts?
• How do inserts protect manufacturers from liability?
• What are the most important sections of an insert to read?
• Why is informed consent so difficult in today’s system?
• How should parents deal with guilt from past medical choices?
• What tips can help moms make more informed decisions going forward?

This conversation is an eye-opener, and if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed when it comes to your child’s health choices, you’re not alone, and this episode will help!
