False starts are one of the most common—and frustrating—sleep struggles parents face. In this episode, we’re diving into what might be causing your baby or toddler to wake up shortly after falling asleep. We break down the most common reasons behind false starts, from overtiredness to under-tiredness and developmental shifts.

But we don’t stop there—we’re sharing practical, attachment-focused tips to help you navigate this challenge while staying responsive to your little one’s needs. If false starts have left you feeling stuck or questioning what’s going on, this episode will give you clarity and strategies to gently support your child toward more restful evenings.
