If you're exhausted and overwhelmed by conflicting sleep advice, this episode is for you.

We examine the cultural belief that good parents have babies who sleep through the night by a certain age—and that if your baby doesn't sleep well, you're doing something wrong. This message keeps us searching for the "right" method, buying the latest solution, and carrying unnecessary guilt.

But what if there isn't a problem to solve? Sometimes, the only thing that needs adjusting is our expectations. Then, working with this new understanding to find out what's right for our family.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why babies aren't biologically designed to sleep through the night early on.
• How to navigate sleep without guilt—whether you choose to sleep train or not.
• Using your gut as your compass when making decisions for your family.
• Why we become what we pay attention to (and why grace matters when you're sleep-deprived).

This isn't about finding the perfect answer. It's about trusting what your baby is showing you and choosing what actually works for your family.
