EP 1: Cry-It-Out Versus Ride-It-Out?: A 3rd Choice for Tired Parents
There’s a misconception out there that there are only two choices when it comes to supporting your baby’s sleep: cry it out, or ride it out.
And as much as I tend to lean towards letting sleep development unfold (ride it out, within reason), this false dichotomy really does a disservice to parents.
In this episode I explore why I believe this false dichotomy exists, and what to do instead.
I talk about:
Three beliefs that make sleep training seem like the “best” approach
Three myths of attachment-based sleep support that can feel unattainable for many parents
How to find a middle ground by:
understanding sleep development,
solving underlying sleep problems,
supporting your baby’s sleep in a responsive way, and
reframing our role (and our self-care!)
If you want to learn more, head to my blog, “Cry-It-Out or Martyrdom: The third choice mamas out to know about to get more sleep” https://familysleep.ca/blog/2018/the-third-choice
