Little Winks Sleep Strategies

Welcome to this episode of The Little Winks Sleep Podcast! We are so happy you're here! Certified Sleep Coach Anna McMillan is, once again, answering your questions to help you and your little ones get the sleep you need! Because we all know if we don't sleep, it is so hard to function and do the things we need to do every day! This week, Anna helps parents with:

  • a 6 month old who only sleeps for 2 hours max at a time. Meaning a TON of night wakins
  • how to know when it's time to lengthen awake windows for a 4 month old
  • what to do when a doctor's appointment lands right at nap time and throws the whole day of naps off
  • what to do when your baby wakes up at 5:15 every morning
