Healthy As A Mother

Father Led Sleep Training with Wes MacDermott | #102


Listen Later

If you are looking for a practical and partner-led approach to sleep training, this episode walks you through exactly what has worked for our family.


Dr. Morgan and her husband Wes share how they have night weaned all of their babies and helped them sleep through the night using a simple and repeatable method. This is not an overly complicated system, but one that focuses on consistency, preparation, and teamwork between partners.


They cover how to know when your baby is ready for sleep training, including situations where it may be better to wait. You will also learn how to prepare both yourself and your child for the transition, what to expect during the adjustment period, and how to handle common challenges along the way.


Wes breaks down exactly what he does during the process, while Dr. Morgan shares how she manages milk supply and feeding considerations. This episode also includes real-life examples and lessons learned from using this method across multiple children.


If you are trying to night wean or help your baby sleep through the night in a way that feels manageable and supportive, this episode will give you a clear starting point.
