In this episode of Mothering From Within, Kaili Ets—pediatric OT and holistic baby guru—dives into the fascinating world of Human Design and sleep.
If you've ever wondered why your baby doesn’t follow the "normal" sleep rules, or why bedtime feels harder than it “should,” this episode is for you. Sleep isn’t one-size-fits-all—and Human Design offers a compassionate, eye-opening way to understand your baby’s natural rhythms, rest needs, and sleep quirks.
You’ll learn how each Human Design energy type (Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, Manifestor, Reflector) influences sleep patterns and how to adjust your approach to better align with your child’s unique design. Kaili also explores how defined and undefined centers (like Root, G, and Throat) can impact your child’s ability to fall asleep, express sleep needs, and feel safe in their space.
💤 This isn’t sleep training. This is parenting in alignment with your child’s energetic blueprint.
✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why your baby or toddler may not respond to traditional sleep advice
- How to use Human Design to support better sleep for your child
- Practical sleep tips for each design type
- Why screens, bedtime resistance, or sleep regressions might be linked to design
- What else impacts sleep—like defined centers, environment, and sensory needs
