    Busting Sleep Myths: From Wake Windows to Sleepy Teens (Ep. 4)
    Mar 4 2024
    Today, we're cutting through the noise to bring clarity to some common pediatric sleep myths that frequently confuse tired parents. Dr. Canapari and Arielle are tackling: Wake windows Sleep regressions Nap strikes Whether you should or should not wake a sleeping baby Teenage sleep myths Notable Quotes: "Children are as unique in their sleep needs as they are in their personalities. It's our job to guide, not dictate, their path to better sleep." - Dr. Craig Canapari "The concept of wake windows has become a maze for parents. Let's simplify and tailor sleep strategies to fit the child, not the other way around." - Ariel Greenleaf "Initiating a bedtime routine early is key, but adjusting strategies as your child grows is equally important." - Dr. Craig Canapari on establishing and evolving sleep routines. "Addressing sleep is not just about tonight's rest; it's about setting a foundation for healthy sleep habits that last a lifetime." - Arielle Greenleaf

  • To CIO and Beyond! Making good decisions about extinction sleep training

    To CIO and Beyond! Making good decisions about extinction sleep training
    Feb 7 2024
    In this episode, we talk about the controversial method of 'Cry It Out' (CIO) or Extinction Sleep Training. This approach, often misunderstood and feared, can be a quick and efficient method to improve a child's sleep. We go deep on the criteria for its successful implementation, discussing age-appropriateness, parental consistency, and prioritizing safety and health. We also cover that the method is not suitable for all children or families, and alternative methods like bedtime fading and pick up/put down are also considered. Finally, we cover importance of sleep training for both children and parents to improve the overall family dynamic. (Full transcript and a video are available here). Here are the three key take-aways from the episode: Be open to trying different sleep training methods - What works well for one child's temperament may not work for another. Give a new method 3-5 nights before deciding if it's effective. "Gentle" is not always better - Sitting in the room

    Ep 2: Sleeping through the night (part 2)
    Feb 6 2024
    In part two of our discussion on helping kids sleep through the night, pediatric sleep expert Dr. Craig Canapari and sleep consultant Arielle Greenleaf tackle night wakings and feedings.  (You can find part 1 here, including a video of both episodes). They provide guidance on when night feeds may or may not be necessary, how to handle night nursing for comfort vs nutrition, and tips for transitioning toddlers away from nighttime calories. Key Takeaways: - Only a small percentage of sleep issues are caused by medical problems. Most kids need some type of sleep training or behavioral intervention. - Check with your pediatrician before dropping night feeds - make sure your child is getting enough calories during the day first.  - Night nursing is about more than nutrition - it also provides comfort. Wean slowly if desired. - Toddlers generally don't need extra calories at night. But there is little guidance given on transitioning from milk feeds to solids at this

    Ep 1: Sleeping Through The Night (part 1)
    Jan 24 2024
    Night time awakenings are THE most common reason that parents bring their child to a sleep physician or consultant. Dr. Craig Canapari and expert sleep consultant Arielle Greenleaf join forces to give advice on the most common reasons that kids wake up at night. The first step to getting your child to sleep through the night is understanding why they are waking up. They address the concept of sleep regressions, the impact of medical conditions such as asthma, acid reflux, and ear infections on sleep, and the importance of consulting a professional when these issues arise. Greenleaf discusses her own journey from a sleep-deprived mother to a pediatric sleep consultant, highlighting the valuable role of sleep consultants in helping families achieve better sleep. Canapari reminds listeners that the goal isn’t about achieving “perfect” sleep but about achieving sleep that enables everyone in the family to feel good and function well in the morning.
