Thank you so much for listening to today’s episode. We are talking about baby sleep on this Daylight Savings Time morning! Our guest today is Erin Junker, she is a mom, sleep consultant and host of the Sleep Cues podcast.

Erin is passionate about children’s sleep. She firmly believes that a well-rested family is a happier, healthier family. She is committed to working with tired parents to help them help their little ones get the healthy rest they need – that means getting amazing, uninterrupted nighttime sleep, and taking proper, restful naps, all within a supportive and guided two-week program!

In today’s episode we are focusing on one of the most common baby sleep issues: early morning wake-ups.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What defines an early morning wake-up: anytime your baby/toddler wakes up before 6am
• Solutions for early morning wake-ups:
  • Pay attention to awake windows and only allow your baby to be awake for the appropriate amount of time for their age
  • If your child relies on sleep props/crutches to fall asleep try to wean them off of them
  • Sleep environment: make sure the room is very dark for both naps and nighttime sleep and use a sound machine
  • Don’t start your day before 6am
