Sleep training doesn’t happen in a perfect bubble — and sometimes life is simply too chaotic to expect consistency. In this episode, I talk about why it’s okay to pause sleep training during busy or stressful seasons like travel, visitors, work pressure, or family health challenges.

Consistency is key for success, and when your season doesn’t allow for that, pressing pause is not failure — it’s a thoughtful, compassionate choice.

I also share simple ways to support healthy sleep habits even when life feels overwhelming, including consistent wake times, age-appropriate wake windows, predictable routines, limiting screen time, and knowing when to pause before intervening. These small habits help protect your child’s sleep foundation so you can confidently restart sleep training when the timing is right.
