Show Notes

Wow!  This episode is so important for mamas with kiddos struggling with sleeping!!!  Eva Klein is a wealth of knowledge!

"Eva is a Certified Infant and Child Sleep Consultant and is the founder of My Sleeping Baby and the Sleep Bible program.

Eva’s main goal is to help her clients establish healthy sleep habits for their children. After experiencing the debilitating effects of chronic sleep deprivation from her middle child, Eva was inspired to help families overcome their sleep challenges. Eva truly empathizes with her clients’ sleep troubles and personally invests herself in their sleep journey.

In addition to completing her sleep consulting certification, she is a member of the Association of Professional Sleep Consultants and she completed the 2016 Infant Mental Health Community Training through the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. Eva also has her Bachelor of Arts from York University and her law degree from the University of Western Ontario.

Eva is a proud wife and mother of two girls and a boy (who are all great sleepers) and lives with her family in Toronto. She provides individual sleep consultations, facilitates group seminars and runs an online sleep program and community called the Sleep Bible."

Eva helps parents focus on several important steps to get their children sleeping naturally and fully through the night.   

Top Three Tips for Parents:
1.  Get Blackout Blinds:  A child needs a dark room during the day because a darker environment makes it easier to nap well.  Napping well during the day results in great sleep at night because your child will not be overtired.  When a child is overtired, there is an increased probability of them waking up several times throughout the night.   

2.  Enjoyable/Consistent Routine:  This routine will cue your little one that it is time to sleep and wind down for the day.  It is hard for anyone to go from one activity right to sleeping.  Children need a few minutes to prepare.  A routine cues their brain that it is time to go to bed soon and eases them into that slow transition.

3.  Set a Goal for Independent Sleep:  Set a goal for your child to fall asleep independently.  This will decrease the chance of more night-wakings and need to call out for you to help them get themselves back to sleep.

Eva will help you enjoy motherhood and be the mom you want to be!  Remember, the days are long, but the years are short!  With Eva's help, you'll feel refreshed and ready to conquer the day!
