Many exhausted moms find themselves in a painful predicament where they're incredibly sleep-deprived but feel stuck: on the one hand, they'd love to sleep train their little one so that they don't have to suffer from chronic sleep deprivation.  On the other hand, they've read somewhere that sleep training is "damaging", "cruel" and "ruins attachment".  

Join me and Dr. Jill Satin, PhD, registered psychologist and owner of The Well Parents Centre, as we delve into this topic in more detail.  In this podcast episode, we talk about:

• Why Jill encourages all her clients to seek out the support of a sleep consultant if they're struggling with their little one's sleep;
• Why exhausted moms often feel "stuck" and need reassurance about sleep training;
• Why sleep is so crucial for mental health;
• How she feels about the claims around sleep training being harmful to the baby;
• How she addresses a common concern moms have about their little ones crying during sleep training.

My mother always says that when something seems too good to be true, it probably is!

So when a mom in the My Sleeping Baby Facebook community told me that she came across a book that claims to get her baby sleeping through the night by 12 weeks of age, I knew which book she was talking about.

The book “12 Hours by 12 Weeks” claims that if you follow their feeding and sleep schedule, your healthy 12-week old baby can learn to sleep 12 hours straight at night.  Now, I really hate being the bearer of bad news, but I really don't like this book.  Most of the advice given over is, quite frankly, bad advice.

Have a listen as I explain WHY I don't like the advice given in this book and what I recommend instead!

Alright, that dreaded day has FINALLY arrived when your little one is ready to drop his nap.  Or maybe he isn't ready?  You have NO idea because he seems too old for napping but too young for NOT napping.  Or maybe when your little one naps, he doesn't go to bed until 10pm at night....but when he DOESN'T nap, he's a hot mess by 5pm.  Or maybe you're just never sure if your little one is actually going to nap when you put him down.

Does any of this sound familiar? If you're nodding your head, have a listen. This episode is for you!

No parent wants to start their day before 6am.
