Description

Sleep training. It's probably one of the most misunderstood topics in parenting, right? You get bombarded with conflicting advice on when to start, what methods to use, and whether it's even okay to sleep train at all. Parents end up exhausted, waiting months longer than they need to, all because of the myths and confusion surrounding the topic.

 

This week, I'm here to set the record straight. Tune in as I walk you through what to do at every stage: from the early weeks, when you're just trying to extend time between feeds, all the way through the 4-month mark, when your baby is usually ready for more structured sleep approaches. And, we'll address that whole "anti-sleep training" fear mongering - spoiler alert: no one's suggesting you let your newborn scream it out.
