Sleep Talking Tuesdays Q&A: Baby-Toddler Sleep Support

Clubhouse App

FREE

Need Sleep? Sleep Talking Tuesdays Q&A: Baby-Toddler Sleep Support is offered weekly at 9 a.m. PDT on the Clubhouse App.

One of the fantastic things about the Clubhouse App is that you will have access to Jen Varela to answer your baby and toddler sleep questions weekly, and it is FREE! Because the conversation is richer and more fun with Jen’s colleagues, she invites other experts to be on the panel to support you beyond sleep questions. The panel of speakers will often include lactation consultants, doulas, parenting mentors, and childcare experts.⁠

What is Clubhouse? The Clubhouse App is a new social media platform! It is a great place to learn and connect; it is an audio-only format. Once you download the app, you will need an invitation to join. If you need an invitation, watch Sugar Night Night’s Instagram Stories, Jen often runs Clubhouse invitation giveaways.

“As a pediatrician, I often spend time counseling families about good sleep habits and sleep training.  But sometimes, despite our best efforts, things aren’t easy.  Sometimes it is due to setbacks from illnesses, hospitalizations, etc, and sometimes is it just a child with a strong temperament!  When my usual sleep advice isn’t enough, and families aren’t sleeping despite doing what we all think is best, I refer to Jen.  Her gentle individualized approach and consistent follow up has helped many families finally get the rest that they all desperately need.  And, very important to me, she encourages safe sleep practices.  I’m really glad she’s here to help our community of parents!”

“We have a nearly 7 month old who was waking up 4-6 times a night, slept for no more than 3 hours, needed to be bounced to sleep and took 30 minute naps. I was crying nearly every day, eating terribly, developing shoulder pain from all the bouncing and swaying, and inching ever closer to the cry it out method (which I fundamentally don’t believe in).

After your workshop, my husband and I pieced together all the pertinent information (it was a LOT to take in and even harder without much sleep) made a sleep plan, set goals and started to gently coach him according to your advice. There were a few tears, but very much short lived.

Fast-forward two weeks…

   Last night, my son slept for 6.5 HOURS (hasn’t happened in 3 months)

   We no longer bounce him

   30-minute wakeups have disappeared

   He wakes up ONCE a night (hasn’t happened in forever)

   He puts himself back to sleep after that wake up (NEVER happened)

   He has fallen asleep on his own for 3 naps in the past two days (NEVER happened)

As I write this, he is taking his morning nap, which he did on his own.

I can’t begin to thank you enough for the help you provided us. I was struggling so much and now I’m not. It’s hard to put my gratitude into words but I hope I have conveyed my deepest gratitude to you. Thank you so very much :)”
