If you’re the parent of a toddler who’s had ongoing sleep difficulties since birth, chances are you’re battling extreme, unrelenting fatigue. How can parents possibly begin to make changes to their little one’s sleep, on the back of months of their own sleep deprivation? Especially when the sleep deprivation has contributed to increased depression and anxiety symptoms. This week we discuss strategies parents can use to manage their own fatigue when working towards improving their little one’s sleep.

Tune in to episode 69 of Brand New Little People, to hear Dr Fallon & Dr Laura (PhDs) unpack parental fatigue and answer parent questions, including:

• How do I manage my high-needs baby?


• How can I help my 7-week-old get used to falling asleep in their cot?


• How can I stop my baby pulling their dummy out?


• Is it ok to only work on cot settling at the beginning of the night?
