Marie Hansen, PSC.
Pediatric Sleep Consultant. Editor of SleepyHero's parent-zone articles and any tool serving the 0-5 age range — wake windows, baby sleep schedule, and the parent-zone library. No page has had Hansen's clinical sign-off yet, so every page credits Hansen as editor.
Credentials
- PSC— Pediatric Sleep Consultant, Family Sleep Institute. The PSC curriculum covers infant and toddler sleep architecture, age-banded wake windows, sleep regressions, nap transitions, night weaning, behavioural interventions, and the AAP's safe-sleep recommendations.
- Continuing education in responsive feeding (breastfeeding and formula), and the interaction between feeding cadence and sleep consolidation across the first year.
What Hansen edits on this site
Every parent-zone article and every tool serving the 0-5 age range. The editor credit appears on each page with its last-updated date.
- Tools — wake windows and baby sleep schedule.
- Parent-zone library — full index here, including the four-month sleep regression, wake-window cheat sheet, and nap transition guides.
- Safe-sleep flagging — Hansen will hold a page from sign-off if it conflicts with current AAP guidance, even if it's a popular practice.
Editorial standards Hansen applies
A parent-zone page passes review when four things are true: (1) every recommendation aligns with current AAP safe-sleep guidance or is explicitly flagged when it does not; (2) age-band claims cite the source data (Galland et al. for sleep durations, current consultant-consensus tables for wake windows); (3) language is non-judgmental — parents read this content tired and worried, and the tone matters; (4) the page distinguishes “most babies” from “your baby” and tells the reader when to see a pediatrician.
Pages awaiting review are labelled “Edited by” rather than “Medically reviewed by.” The label flips when sign-off is complete and the dated reviewer credit appears.
