The Baby Sleep Connection: Holistic help for tired, responsive parents who don't want to sleep train

Ep 28: Busting 5 Baby Sleep Myths


Listen Later

Heather Boyd, mom of 3, Occupational Therapist, and certified Infant & Family Sleep Specialist shares 5 common sleep myths (and why they aren’t true).

Listen in to hear about:

  • “Junk sleep”: what’s the deal with sleeping in arms or falling asleep in the car?  Does it “count” as sleep?  

  • Humans as carry mammals: how does this impact how we can help our babies sleep?

  • Why looking to your baby for “signs” that what you’re doing is working is the best way to avoid the trap of baby sleep myths

  • Putting your baby down “drowsy but asleep”: does it work?  Is it necessary?

  • How crucial is “teaching” your baby to sleep? 

  • Ways parents can influence healthy sleep without sleep training

  • “Sleep begets sleep”: is it true?

  • Keeping your baby up later to get them to sleep in: what happens when we do this, and what is really impacting your baby’s wake up time?
