Why I Created This Space—and What You’ll Find Here
If you’re here, you’re probably tired.
Not just “long day” tired—but bone-deep, blurry-eyed, running-on-caffeine-and-instinct tired.
And if that’s true… I want to start by saying:
You’re not doing anything wrong.
You’re not broken.
And most importantly—you’re not alone.
I’m Mariana Yancik, certified pediatric sleep consultant, newborn care specialist, and mom. I created Your Sleep Village as a gentle space for families just like yours—families craving rest, clarity, and someone to say, “You’ve got this… and I’ve got you.”
💛 Why This Blog Exists
Sleep is one of the most misunderstood (and emotional) parts of early parenthood. There’s so much noise—so many conflicting voices—telling you what your baby should be doing. It’s overwhelming. And honestly? Sometimes, it’s shaming.
This blog is different.
Here, you’ll find:
- Evidence-based information that’s easy to understand
- Gentle, responsive strategies that don’t force your baby to fit a mold
- Realistic encouragement for families in the thick of it
- And above all… respect for you and your parenting instincts
🐣 Who This Is For
This blog is for:
- Newborn parents trying to survive the 2 a.m. feedings
- Families whose toddlers are suddenly refusing to sleep alone
- Moms scrolling through their phone at 3 a.m. wondering, “Am I the only one?”
- And anyone who’s ever Googled “baby won’t sleep please help”
Whether you’re here for tips, community, or just something to read while rocking a baby in the dark—I’m so glad you found your way here.
🛏 What You’ll Learn
In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing posts like:
- “The 4-Month Sleep Regression: What’s Really Going On?”
- “How to Gently Set Boundaries With Your Toddler at Bedtime”
- “Should You Stop Feeding at Night? Here’s What to Consider”
- “What I Wish I Knew About Sleep Before Becoming a Mom”
Everything I share is grounded in my years of experience as a newborn care specialist, postpartum and infant care doula, sleep consultant—and yes, as a mom who’s been there.
✨ You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
