Bedgear Performance Bedding wants you to have a good night sleep. On May 1 Bedgear will host a Q&A with Pediatric Adult Sleep Expert and founder of “Baby Sleep Whisperer”, Ingrid Prueher. Moms and Parents to be will have the opportunity to chat one on one with Ingrid and learn her tips to help get the little ones to sleep so you mom can too. This event will be held at buybuy Baby at 270 7th Avenue from 12:00pm – 3:00 pm. Customers will receive a free tote with any bedgear Baby purchase and the chance to win bedgear prizes throughout the event.

I recently had a chance to ask Ingrid some questions ahead of the event. I wanted to share those with you.

1.What is the first thing you tell parents who come to you?

(INGRID) Healthy sleep habits can be taught at any age no matter what has been taking place. Parents are typically worried that their children are too old to learn healthy sleep habits but it’s never too late. My youngest client has been one day old and my oldest client was 71 years old.

2.How do you feel being a trail blazer in this industry?

(INGRID) I have not really thought about myself in that way. Given the opportunities I have been given, I guess one can say that I am making strides that others before me have not been able to make. I am grateful for the opportunities that have come my way because it allows me to share my sleep mission. It’s my mission to help everyone learn the importance of sleep and why they should make it a priority for themselves and their loved ones. Most of society takes sleep for granted. Study after study proves how our health is impacted without sleep yet we continue to push our body limits over and over again.

3. You are bilingual? How does that help you reach more individuals?

(INGRID) It’s been a gift to be bilingual and I, of course, have my parents and extended family for that. I was born in Guatemala and came to the U.S. when I was a year and a half old. I am a Spaniard and American citizen. It’s really been an honor to help families globally. Speaking Spanish has given me the ability to spread my message to families . I have worked with spanish speaking families in Latin America, Europe and those located in the U.S. The sleep epidemic is not only isolated to the American culture, it’s really a global issue.

4. What are key strategies that you give parents?

(INGRID) It’s important when taking the time to teach your child to sleep to make the process a priority.

1) Look at your calendar and carve out two to three weeks to focus on helping your child become a better sleeper. This means no social engagements that might interfere with having your child sleep in their sleep environment day and night.

2) Parents need to set time to discuss their sleep plan. It’s important that all caretakers are on the same page. If a child is in daycare, the same expectations cannot be expected but it is recommended that you discuss what is taking place at home and see if they can implement any of it on their end as well.

3) Consistency is key to helping our children become great sleepers. If we are insecure about how we are teaching them and toggle between one strategy and the next, we are only confusing our child at the end of the day.

4) Choose a plan that resonates with your parenting philosopy

5) If you are not secure in your plan to teach your child to sleep, consider hiring a sleep consultant. A sleep consultant should help you create a plan that is based on your parenting philosophy and coach you through the sleep teaching process.

5. Are you looking for Brand Ambassadors to help you promote this awareness?

INGRID) Absolutely! Sleep is the foundation of health. It’s important for anyone at any age to have healthy sleep habits. Sleep deprivation is an epidemic. Sleep deprivation impacts us our mental and physical capacities no matter how old we are. Those suffering from sleep deprivation cannot cope with stress, make bad food choices, are at risk for developing mental issues such as depression, ADHD etc. My mission is to spread the word on establishing healthy sleep habits no matter how old you are and what your habits have been. It’s important to remember that our children mimic our actions, we must practice what we preach so our children can grow up with this foundation.

I also was given the opportunity to try out bedgear’s Dri-Tec performance sheet set. The sheets are made of 100% polyester. The sidewall of the fitted sheet consists of 92% polyester and 8% spandex. This combination of materials works to create an elastic band feel around the mattress. Bedgear sheets have one large elastic band covering the entire mattress. The powerband was implemented to avoid rising fitted sheets throughout the night and ensure a tight fit to your mattress.

The Dri-Tec sheets work to wick away heat and moisture from the body. While some sheet sets retain heat and create a warmer night’s sleep, the Dri-Tec sheets dissipate the heat and help to circulate air. The sheets work to scatter the heat so there is never any build up at one point on your body.

I hope you will check out all of bedgear‘s products on their website. Also please attend the event and learn more from Ingrid. Attached is the invite for the event.

Moms are busy people and have a lot going on all the time. Between work, kids, errands, meals, chores, and all other activities getting your kids to sleep is an important thing. I was recently introduced to the Bedgear BG-X Position Pillow. Sleep fuels everything that your kids do and without a good night’s sleep it can lead to slumping throughout the day, a lower immune system and being tired all day.

This new pillow is powered by Dri-Tec moisture and heat management fabric in a structural pattern. It fabric surface wicks away heat and moisture and helps your child sleep cool and dry. The Air-X technology creates a one way air-flow that prevents allergens and dander from entering the pillow core. Combined to their custom ratios with silk feel micro fibers, the have created an exclusive fill that is hypoallergenic, breathable and soft, with exceptional conforming.

The unique shape will provide you the comfort for those who sleep with their arms beneath their pillow and will cradle your head for complete spinal support. Having this allows you to sleep longer without tossing and turning. It is such a relief to see your child sleep with out tossing and turning and wake up refreshed and ready to deal with the day.

If you are looking for that special gift for the kid in your life, this is a product to invest in. Please visit. Bedgear.com to get more information about all of their products. I am putting it on my list to give to all of my friends.

As soon as you stepped in the space you felt the holiday surround you. We walked in and right away were given a drink made my POM juice what wonderful selections to kick off the night.

Teleflora was on hand to showcase their Holiday floral arrangements and Christmas cookie jars, mugs and vases. The Peanuts is a central theme for their arrangements this year. I love that these add the touch of elegance to your tabletops and holiday décor.

We next got to try POM wonderful new teas. I love POM’s drinks and now they are introducing their new teas. I had so much fun chatting with the reps about what their favorite ones were. I was given some samples of the teas and a Pomegranate recipe book, and a whole Pomegranate.

Now that we had something to drink it was time to get something to eat. It was off to Tessemae’s. They use natural ingredients to create delicious foods. All natural products that you can use as dressing, for marinating, dipping, cooking roasting and grilling. I got to sample their tasty treats.

My next stop was Mudpuppy. These are some great items that you can spend all day working on. They had tons of crafts, puzzles and fun books for you to spend time with your kids working on. There was so much stuff to enjoy, I love the bag tags.

One of my favorite brands is I See Me. These are books that you can personalize with your own kids names and stories. You have such a large range of books and worksbooks and they continue to add new books to the collection every year. I love the personal touch, and the surprise in your kids eyes when they see their names in print will make you so proud.

Bedgear baby was also there to showcase their performance bedding for our sleepers. Their performance material helps keep your kids try. It absorbs moisture to help your child sleep cool and dry and dry.
