OT-informed reference guides you can save to your phone or print for the nursery. Use them alongside the episodes on sleep and infant development.
Sleep Schedules and Wake Windows
A reference guide for babies 0 to 36 months. Includes the sample sleep schedules commonly used by sleep trainers from 5 months through 3 years, a full wake window chart by age, and a reminder that these are starting points, not rules. Read it with the framing that your baby is unique and these numbers are a guide to help you find their rhythm.
From Co-Sleeping or Bedsharing to Crib Sleeping
A gentle walkthrough for moving your baby from co-sleeping or bedsharing into their own crib. Covers when the right time really is, how to make the crib feel familiar before the switch, side car crib and floor bed options for older babies, and practical ways to support both of you through the transition without forcing it.
