If you’ve ever walked the halls at night with a baby who wouldn’t sleep or struggled to find 10 minutes during the day because your baby wouldn’t nap, we feel you.
And so does Janey Reilly, founder of WeeSleep. After learning how to overcome her baby’s sleep problems, she became a certified infant and toddler sleep consultant. In 2011, she launched WeeSleep, where she coaches a growing team of professional infant and toddler sleep consultants who provide personalized support to parents as they teach their baby or toddler to become an independent sleeper.
We hit up Janey to get her registry picks of the must-have essentials to create good sleep habits as early as possible.
“There is nothing better than being able to see and hear your baby sound asleep (or wide awake!) wherever you are in your home. This monitor will provide a level of comfort once your precious one arrives.” Photo courtesy of @vtechusa
“Whether you choose to swaddle or use a sleep bag, both provide warmth and comfort that move with your baby. A sleep sack is something we recommend to families all the time! Grab two or three to ensure you have extra, in case of a diaper leak or messier accident.” Photo courtesy of @gunamuna
“Sleeping near a safe bassinet is convenient for those late-night feeds. We love the minimalist, clean look of the Skiphop.” Photo courtesy of @skiphop
“A dark room is KEY to healthy sleep! Finding swoon-worthy panels that have a blackout liner is tough. No need to blow up a vision because you can’t find a panel that has a blackout liner. These liners go behind any curtain and come in various sizes.” Photo courtesy of @nicetowncurtains
“We love this gadget because it looks beautiful and minimalist. It works as a night light with a soft glow, and also provides a perfect white noise to block out the barking dog, kitchen clean-up clatter, and those creaky floors.” Photo courtesy of @hatchforsleep
“When your little one is older, a security item for them to snuggle with can bring extra comfort. We are huge fans of the Jellycat soothers snuggle buddies! Tip: Get two of the same in case you lose one, or one can be used for home and the other for travel.” Photo courtesy of @jellycat_collection
“We believe in creating healthy sleep spaces wherever you go! With this on-the-go crib, family and friend visits can still happen, and travel will be a breeze.” Photo courtesy of @babybjorn_northamerica
“Why not go in on a group gift and treat the new mom to something she will need at some point? With the WeeSleep, we promise; you will be her BFF!” Photo courtesy of @weesleep
