Ep. 26: Why Your Baby's Sleep Needs Connection, Not Sleep Training

In this episode, Kaili addresses the immense stress that sleep issues can bring to early parenthood. She empathizes with the struggles of trying various sleep methods without success and offers reassurance by introducing a holistic approach to baby sleep. This approach focuses on connection, responsiveness, and meeting both the baby's and the parent's needs, without relying on traditional sleep training methods. Kaili shares her personal journey with her son and emphasizes the importance of following your instincts and creating a safe, nurturing environment for your baby. She also debunks common myths about 'bad habits' like nursing to sleep, rocking, and bed sharing, and advocates for a developmental, responsive approach to parenting. Tune in for an insightful discussion on getting more rest while honouring your and your baby's natural needs.
