About this episode
You are exhausted because your baby won't sleep. Then you see all the advice that says you should ignore your baby's cries because if you ignore them long enough, they'll fall asleep. But your mama heart just can't leave your baby screaming and crying all alone in the crib.
Then, you hear these voices telling you, "You are such a pushover. That baby has you wrapped around their little finger." Or "Why are you letting your baby dictate your schedule and what you do?"
Is all this criticism true? Is it your fault that your baby won't sleep? Are you breathing bad habits because you rock your baby to sleep? And what can you do so you don't spend the entire night rocking your baby so they don't wake up? We'll address these questions in this episode.
Discover what works when it comes to sleep, and learn research-backed techniques for soothing your baby.
