In this week’s episode, I am chatting with Eva Klein. She’s a certified infant and child sleep consultant and is the founder of My Sleeping Baby and the Sleep Bible program. Eva shares how she experienced debilitating effects of chronic sleep deprivation when her now 7-year-old daughter was a baby. Her experience prompted her to get a sleep consultant certification during her maternity leave, and started a business where she helps parents establish healthy sleep habits for their children.

She shares some awesome techniques you can use with your child to help them build better sleeping habits, and in turn, allow you to sleep better. We also discuss the importance of self-care and adequate sleep for moms to help you show up at your best.
