The Secret to Thriving as a New Working Mom: Sleep You Can Count On

When you’re pregnant or holding your brand-new baby, the idea of going back to work can feel far away. Right now, your world is full of tiny snuggles, first smiles, and figuring out your baby’s rhythms. But I promise you, those weeks fly by. Before you know it, you’ll be thinking about balancing your career with your new role as a mom.

And one of the most important (and most overlooked) ways to make that transition smoother?

Making sure your baby has strong, healthy sleep routines before you go back.

The Return-to-Work Reality

Once you’re back on the job, your attention will be pulled in two places: home and work. You’ll want to give 100% to your career while still being fully present for your baby in the evenings. But if naps are inconsistent, feedings are all over the place, or nights are unpredictable, you’ll find yourself worrying about what’s happening at home instead of focusing at work.

And let’s be honest, if your baby isn’t sleeping well at night, you’re not sleeping well either. That makes it so much harder to be patient, productive, and present during the day.

Peace of Mind Starts With Predictability

A baby who sleeps well during the day and through the night isn’t just “easier.” They’re more content, more alert, and better able to handle separation when you’re away.

And for you, a consistent routine means:

    •    Caregiver confidence — Whether it’s a nanny, daycare, or grandparents, you can hand them a clear and easy-to-follow schedule for naps, feedings, and bedtime, knowing your baby will get exactly what they need.

    •    Less stress at work — You’re not distracted by texts or calls about a cranky baby who skipped their nap or refused their bottle.

    •    More energy for evenings — Instead of collapsing on the couch, you can enjoy your time together after work.

Why Planning Ahead Matters

Too many new moms wait until the last few weeks before returning to work to address sleep challenges—only to find themselves scrambling. Sleep training and establishing healthy routines takes time, consistency, and guidance. By starting early, you give yourself and your baby the gift of a smooth adjustment.

How I Help Moms Like You

As a sleep coach, my program is designed to help families:

    •    Establish daytime nap and feeding routines that fit your baby’s developmental stage.

    •    Teach your baby to self-soothe and sleep 11–12 hours at night so you can rest too.

    •    Create a plan that’s easy for any caregiver to follow.

My program is designed to create a foundation for your baby’s well-being, your own peace of mind, and your ability to thrive in both motherhood and your career.

Let’s Set You Up for Success

If you’re pregnant or in the newborn stage, this is the perfect time to start thinking ahead. Imagine walking into your first day back at work well-rested, confident your baby is happy and thriving, and knowing your caregiver has everything they need for success.

Because when your baby sleeps well, you can show up at work with clarity and come home ready to be fully present.
