That's Not How A Baby Sleeps

S2E19 Meeting Your Child Where They Are: Ditching The Sleep Rules


Listen Later

There’s so much pressure to get our kids sleeping independently by a certain age, but what if that pressure is completely unnecessary? In this episode, we’re breaking down the fears around so-called “bad habits” like rocking, feeding to sleep, and bedsharing—and why meeting your child where they are is actually the key to better sleep.


Alicia shares why they've been rocking their 3-year-old to sleep this past month and why they’re not worried about it. We’ll also dive into the common misconception that sleep routines should be set in stone, the reality that sleep is not linear, and why big life changes might be the reason for your recent sleep struggles.


If you’ve ever felt stressed about changing a sleep association or worried you were “doing it wrong,” this episode is for you. Let’s take the pressure off and embrace a more flexible, responsive approach to sleep. 💛
