That's Not How A Baby Sleeps

S2E4 Understanding Temperament: How Your Baby’s Personality Affects Sleep


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that can really change how you approach sleep—your baby’s temperament. Every child is unique, and their personality plays a big role in how they navigate sleep. From easy-going sleepers to highly sensitive little ones, we’ll explore how different temperaments affect everything from bedtime routines to sleep transitions. We’ll share tips on how to create the perfect sleep environment based on your child’s temperament and how to adjust your approach if your child is more intense, sensitive, or active. 


Aleni and I will also talk about our own experiences, how our children's temperaments shaped their sleep habits, and the importance of meeting them where they are. You’ll leave this episode with practical strategies for supporting your child's sleep based on their unique needs, plus some reassurance that sleep struggles are not a reflection of your parenting. Tune in and learn how understanding your child’s temperament can lead to more peaceful nights for the whole family!
