If you’re feeling frustrated or discouraged by your baby’s sleep, you’re not alone.  There’s really no way to fully appreciate how exhausted you’ll be as a parent, even if you’ve been told you’re going to be tired and your baby will wake up often.

In this episode, Heather breaks down 3 shifts you can make so that your baby’s sleep is easier and less draining starting right now.

So often in our search for solutions to sleep problems, we focus on fixing what isn’t broken, and we struggle to shift our expectations around what we think our baby's sleep looks like.  We also tend to latch onto what has worked for other families, instead of looking at what our unique babies need from us (and what we’re capable and willing to do).

The 3 tips in this episode won’t address underlying sleep disorders (that’s an episode of its own!).  What it will do is give you a foundation for what you can shift TODAY so that you are losing less energy trying to make sleep look a certain way.
