We’ve just returned from 2 straight weeks of travel, 8 airplanes, 3 different hotels, a brand new passport stamp and I’m happy to share we are all still speaking. 😂Seriously though, nothing puts a family to the test like traveling together. When Asher is at home in his space, he is really good about staying on schedule. However, once we check into a hotel and he sees he is staying in the same room as mommy and daddy, things get really challenging! If Asher had his way, we’d stay up playing all night! His current favorite game consists of jumping on my back and playing horsey. Luckily I discovered Little Ones Baby & Toddler Sleep Programs, which was so helpful during our extensive cross-country and island adventure. Keep reading to learn why I’m such a fan!
What is Little Ones Sleep Program?
Little Ones help families sleep with their comprehensive online Sleep Programs. I’m a big believer in their holistic approach and gentle methods for better sleep and easier settling. Don’t worry, they’re not the old “cry it out” sleep training methods. As Little Ones shares, science has come a long way and as the saying goes “know better, do better”.
They have detailed Sleeping and Feeding Schedules, which change constantly as your baby grows and develops. So you can use Little Ones from newborn to toddler. Trust me, new mamas, right when you think you’ve gotten the hang of things your baby will throw you a curveball with perhaps teething or sleep regression. I’ve been following the suggested awake, nap and daytime routine schedule, which lead to better nights and really helped us enjoy our family vacation. Cranky babies while traveling are no fun. Little Ones greatly helped us stay on schedule and have fun even during all the different time zones!
One of my favorite tips for Asher, who is now 18-months-old, was to use a sleep sack. I brought his favorite sleep sack from home and this kept him comfortable in his 3 new and different sleeping situations. The moment I would place him in it and zip it up, I could feel him relax and start to unwind. Next, I’m looking forward to reading and implementing their guide on how to toilet train in under 1 week.

I sincerely appreciate the helpful and motivating emails Little Ones sends. Just this morning I woke up to an email with the subject “You’re a priority too!” It made me realize I haven’t taken a moment for myself since before the holidays. So you know what I did, I booked a babysitter for this week and I’m going to go to yoga and get a massage.

This might be useful to me. I have a 6 day old baby and the sleepless night is getting to me.
I would love to try this program for my toddler. She is so happy.
GAH! I am so intimidated by travel with my son. SOOOOO intimidated – because we will all have to share a room and any move I make, I feel like I will wake him up. Then also, when I am at home, I wake up every morning at 4am so I can work out, but during travel, I can’t REALLY do that, or I can but have to be SUPPPPERRR quiet, and it just makes me anxious! Ha! Obviously one could easily say DO NOT EXERCISE – but that’s just part of who I am, like brushing my teeth, so it must happen. I feel like I need to look into this program for moral support for myself, lol!
I’ve never heard of this program before! Very interesting actually, sleep is crucial in maintaining mental health.
That’s so nice, having this app. Most moms’ problematic on how to make baby sleep in time. Sleep is so precious, both for us adults and babies.
Kids just have so much energy it’s amazing! And sleep is such an eternal struggle, even for adults 😉 Gentle methods sound great especially for a toddler.
Hope I had known this before. My initial few months with my son was a nightmare since he used to cry before sleeping at night. I struggled to figure out his problem.
Your child seems so happy at the beach with you. Loved your blog.
I have never heard of Little Ones before, but now I will definitely have to look into it. I tried several different types of sleep training techniques and usually gave up so I will have to look into this one.
I would love this for my son. He doesn’t sleep well. And whenever there’s any change in his schedule, he would cry and toss not getting much sleep and I don’t get any.
Never heard about this app. Sleep is important for both parents and kids. This app really looks promising
