Season 3, Episode 2: If you’re a new mom drowning in sleep deprivation, nap schedules, and unsolicited opinions, this episode is for you. We’re getting real about baby sleep: what we thought it would be, what it actually was, and how sleep training tested everything from our sanity to our cultural values.

In this episode, we share:

• What no one tells you about sleep training as a first-time mom

• How Purvi sleep trained her twins (with an Indian twist)

• Karen’s honest take on travel, regressions, and crying-it-out

• The emotional toll of baby sleep: mom guilt and cultural judgment
