Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Is it possible to have a well-rested baby without sacrificing attachment? Are you an exhausted mom who struggles with the nighttime routine?
Today Eve Squires, a sleep consultant with over fifteen years of experience, shares her journey and approach to improving infant sleep without resorting to harsh methods. Sleep is one of the most debated parenting topics, and in the past, I have avoided this topic because it is often confusing with conflicting advice. Eve was exactly the right person to do a deep dive on how to help children sleep through the night, without losing that special bond.
In this episode we cover:
-
How to improve sleep without the “cry it out” method - The hunger vs. habit debate—how to know if your baby truly needs to eat at night
- Nap windows and how to structure baby and toddler awake time for better naps
- Replacing sleep incentives with healthier soothing techniques
- Why some babies sleep well while others don’t (and potential neurological factors)
