In this episode, I share my experiences and insights on the topic of baby temperament and sleep. I discuss my personal experiences with my two children's sleep patterns and how temperament can play a role in their sleep habits. It’s important to understand and respond to a baby's temperament in a positive and nurturing way, rather than labeling them as "bad sleepers." I want to encourage you to consider evidence-based positive parenting techniques and sleep teaching methods to support your child's sleep needs. Sensitive sleepers can still become great sleepers with the right approach.
