The Follow-Up: How to Sleep Train


Listen Later

Sleep training might be one of the most debated topics in parenting but it doesn’t have to be so polarizing. In this Follow-Up episode, I revisit my most downloaded episode, “We’re Losing Sleep Over Our Kids’ Sleep,” to talk honestly about what sleep training really means, the methods that exist, and how to decide what’s right for your family.

You’ll learn:

✔️ What “sleep training” actually means (hint: it’s not one-size-fits-all)
✔️ The differences between the cry-it-out, Ferber, and gradual methods
✔️ Why crying doesn’t mean cruelty—and how boundaries are loving
✔️ How to spot when a method isn’t working for your baby
✔️ Why our generation’s obsession with baby sleep may be adding more stress than it solves
