You’re Not Doing It Wrong: Baby Sleep Edition—What sleep training actually looks like with Samantha from Hello Little Sleeper

Description

If your baby isn’t sleeping through the night and you’ve found yourself wondering, “What am I doing wrong?” — this episode is your reminder that the answer is: nothing.

I’m joined by Samantha from Hello Little Sleeper, the sleep consultant who helped us after Mateo hit a major regression post-illness. We talk about what sleep training actually looks like when it’s responsive and tailored to your baby — no harsh rules, no cry-it-out pressure, and no mom guilt.

Samantha shares why baby sleep isn’t linear, why regressions are normal (but exhausting), and why you’re not a bad parent if you need help figuring it out.

We also get into:
💤 What it’s like to work with a responsive sleep consultant
🍼 Why every baby (and family) needs something different
🤯 Late-night Google spirals and sleep-anxiety panic
🫠 Why you are not a failure if your baby isn’t sleeping “perfectly”
