Ep 20: Long Bedtimes: Why they happen and what to do about it
Long bedtimes are a frequent challenge for families looking for baby sleep support. Spending one or two hours in a dark room trying to cajole your baby to sleep is a stark contrast to the peaceful, connected bedtimes you may have imagined.

Have a listen to learn:
6 common reasons bedtimes are long
6 strategies for making bedtime a more manageable length
Her realistic and flexible approach to late bedtimes with her own children
How to set up a "runway" to bedtime
Why looking at bedtime as the last connection before a lengthy separation supports an easier bedtime routine
How bedtime routines get shaped over time
Mentioned in this episode:
EP #2: What's Driving Your Baby's Sleep?
