Renee and Olivia open up about the sleepless nights that many parents face, sharing how anxiety and societal pressure can amplify the struggle of getting their kids to sleep. They recount their own experiences with sleep deprivation and its effects on mental health and relationships, offering a sense of solidarity and understanding to fellow sleep-deprived parents. Through their authentic and heartfelt narratives, they stress the importance of trusting one's intuition and filtering out the noise of unsolicited advice.


We are also joined by Kristy, the Sleep Teacher, who turned her own challenges with her daughter's sleep regression into a career dedicated to helping families find rest. Kristy provides us with a behind-the-scenes look at her journey to becoming a certified sleep consultant, emphasising the significance of proper training amidst a crowded and sometimes controversial field.


In this episode, we explore various strategies for improving children's sleep, from feeding routines to self-settling techniques, and the emotional hurdles of sleep training. Kristy shares her insights on creating effective bedtime routines, phasing out sleep associations like dummies, and the importance of responsive parenting. Olivia shares the nuanced process of building sleep pressure through daytime activities and adapting sleep schedules to fit each child's unique rhythms. This episode is packed with practical advice and supportive stories aimed at helping parents create a smoother, more restful bedtime experience.
