Is your baby suddenly waking more at night? Crying the second you leave the room? Refusing naps or bedtime routines they used to handle just fine? It could be separation anxiety—a completely normal (but totally exhausting) phase many babies and toddlers go through.
In this episode of Creating Well-Rested Families, I’m breaking down:
- What separation anxiety actually is and why it’s a good sign for your child’s development
- When separation anxiety typically starts (and how long it lasts)
- The most common signs your baby or toddler is experiencing it
- Gentle, responsive ways to support your child through separation anxiety—especially around sleep
- What not to do when your baby is struggling with separation
- And my favorite trick to make your baby’s sleep space more comforting using your natural scent
Whether you're parenting a clingy 9-month-old or a preschooler suddenly scared to sleep alone, this episode will give you practical tools (and a whole lot of reassurance).
