Hi I’m Todd.\u00a0 Welcome to my Baby Sleep Tips <\/strong><\/em>site where you’ll find information, tips<\/a>, and products that I hope will make your life a little bit easier.<\/p>\n

Where have I been?<\/h3>\n

For over 20 years<\/strong><\/em> I’ve been working in Special Visual FX<\/strong><\/em> for movies<\/strong><\/em> at Matte World Digital. I’ve worked on over 60 films including Hugo<\/span>, Captain America<\/span>, Titanic<\/span>, Alice in Wonderland<\/span>, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button<\/span>, The Golden Compass<\/span>, The Last Samurai<\/span>, The Ring<\/span>,\u00a0 X-Men<\/span>, The Green Mile<\/span>, The Truman Show<\/span>,\u00a0 Star Trek: First Contact<\/span>, Casino<\/span>, Bram Stoker’s Dracula<\/span>, and Batman Returns<\/span>.<\/p>\n

I’ve loved doing it but now it’s time for a bit more flexibility<\/strong><\/em> with my family. And so here I am with a new venture designed to help people find solutions <\/strong><\/em>that can help make life a little bit easier<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Where am I going?<\/h3>\n

This site is all about helping you discover<\/strong><\/em> tips, techniques and aids to help your baby sleep<\/strong><\/em>. These have worked for our family<\/strong><\/em> and others. I’ll indicate which products I’ve used with success<\/strong><\/em> and others that have come highly recommended<\/em> from family, friends and reviews.<\/p>\n

I’ll offer ways to use what you already have in your home, and\/or make them yourself,\u00a0 and\/or buy them online.\u00a0 When there’s something I’ve used that worked for my kids, I’ll provide direct links to those things. (Amazon Affiliate links help pay for the free content on my sites. When you purchase from Amazon within 24 hours of clicking on an affiliate link Amazon gives me a small commission. Using the link doesn\u2019t affect the price you pay.)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Be assured that the companies whose products I recommend have no influence over the content on my site. Likewise, I do not control or influence any of the content on their sites. I’ll tell you upfront if I have used<\/strong><\/em> and loved<\/strong><\/em> products, and\/or have heard good things<\/strong><\/em> about them or if I disliked them.<\/p>\n

The beautiful thing is that you don’t have<\/strong> <\/em>to buy anything to have success giving your baby what they need to sleep better<\/strong><\/em>. Some products may just make it a little bit easier and faster. In any case, you’ll gain the knowledge<\/strong><\/em> to design, test,<\/strong><\/em> and refine a plan that works for you and your baby<\/strong><\/em>.
\nEnjoy and good luck!<\/p>\n
