Description

Have you been doing “everything right” with your baby’s schedule, following a rigid instructions of a nap and bedtime schedule you found in a book or online and still feel like sleep isn’t working?


Listen to 3 key perspectives that will have you rethinking your relationship to your baby’s sleep schedule.


Ultimately:


  1. Sleep schedules are tools, not solutions.
  2. Stress (in you or your baby) can lead to sleep disruptions that no schedule can fix. Address the stress, connect, and regulate the nervous system.
  3. Regulation strategies that focus on connection help you see more clearly what sleep routine or schedule works best for your baby in this moment
  4. Sensory strategies that use movement, proprioception, heavy work, and vestibular experiences are an important foundation to a regulated nervous system that can fall asleep more easily.
