    Your Baby And Winter Safety ft. Dr. Darria Long of No-Panic Parenting

    2026/03/03 | 29 mins.
    Winter brings extra layers... and extra worries — especially when you have a baby. In this episode of Sleep Cues, we’re joined by an ER perspective to talk about what actually matters when it comes to winter safety. Dr. Darria is a Harvard and Yale-trained, board-certified ER physician, our go-to for baby and family safety on social media, and mom of 3. 
    From the most common cold-weather mistakes parents don’t expect, to overheating risks during sleep, to why bulky snowsuits and car seats don’t mix...  we’re breaking down what’s fact, what’s myth, and what you can confidently ignore. We also cover special considerations for newborns and preemies, extreme cold, illness, and how to handle well-meaning (but outdated) advice from grandparents.
    If you’ve ever wondered, “Is my baby too cold… or too warm?” this episode will leave you informed, reassured, and confident in winter!

    When Do Wake Windows Start And End?

    2026/02/24 | 15 mins.
    When does a wake window actually begin — and how do you know when it’s over?
    In this episode of Sleep Cues, we’re breaking down what wake windows really are, when they truly matter, and why understanding their timing can make bedtime (and naps) so much smoother. We’ll explain how to confidently spot the start of a wake window, recognize the signs that it’s ending, and share real-life examples to help you apply it right away.
    If you’ve ever second-guessed your timing or worried you’ve missed “the sweet spot,” this episode will give you clarity and confidence.

    2026/02/17 | 20 mins.
    Answering this week's Top 5 Sleep Questions. This week’s questions highlight the following topics:
    - What are good wake windows for a 5 month old? And what is the feeding schedule at this age? I’m feeling lost. 
    - What’s a good bedtime range for a 3.5 month old?
    - Is there any risk that a comfort object becomes a sleep crutch? How can I prevent that? 
    - How do you prevent over tiredness when sleep training for naps? Won’t she get super overtired if she just refuses to sleep in her crib?
    - My 3 year old twirls my hair while falling asleep. How can I transition out of this? I’m going bald!
