Sleep.  Oh my god sleep.  I don’t think I have slept a normal night (no exaggeration here) in nearly three years.  Why?  Because of my beautiful, adorable, frat boy of a son.  He never sleeps.  Ever.  I went nuts trying to find ANY solution to this sleep conundrum.  That’s when I stumbled on Alexis Dubief of TroublesomeTots.com.  She literally helped save my sanity.  And, I want to do the same for you.  So we invited Alexis to speak with us on ParentCast all about the ever-elusive sleep.  Hit the jump to find out her extremely useful tips and tricks…

You’re probably listening to this episode because you’re struggling.  You’re struggling with your child, your spouse, your anxiety, and your fatigue.  You feel hopeless, and you feel like a bad parent.  Will my kid ever sleep?  WILL I EVER SLEEP AGAIN?  I swear to god, yes.  After a lot of blood, sweat and tears (yes, all of them) we finally got Itty Bitty to sleep through the night.  It’s not easy.  It’s not fun.  It’s not glamorous.  It’s effing hard.  But that’s why we brought in Alexis Dubief, the author TroublesomeTots.com. Her blog is witty, fun, informative and also garners over two MILLION visits per year.  Suffice it to say, she’s an expert.   In this episode you’ll learn: why all babies need to be TAUGHT how to sleep, when to start sleep training, transitioning from one sleep space to another, the myths behind white noise, and which resources about your child’s sleep can help you most.  You’ll also hear about how one Yankee continues to ruin Blake’s life, why Rhys is Spiderman, and why Mary makes Blake close out the show twice.
