The Responsive Family Sleep Podcast

Do I Need to Teach My Baby to Self-Soothe?


Listen Later

Everywhere you turn, people are talking about teaching babies to self-soothe. In this week’s episode, I’m diving into this popular sleep myth and unpacking what self-soothing really means (and doesn’t mean). I’m sharing where this idea and phrasing comes from, the neuroscience behind calming and self-regulation, and what you should be focusing on instead for long-term emotion regulation.
