Sleep deprivation is not just “being tired.” And I really, really wish we would stop treating it like it is.

When a family is chronically sleep deprived, it can impact mental health, relationships, emotional regulation, patience, functioning…everything.

For this family, they’re talking about depression and PTSD being rooted in the season where nobody was sleeping. And while every family’s story is different, this is exactly why I feel so strongly about taking sleep seriously.

You do not get a trophy for surviving on no sleep.

And wanting your baby to sleep better does NOT mean you’re selfish, disconnected, or putting your needs above theirs. Helping your baby sleep can be one of the most loving things you do for your entire family.

Sleep matters. Your baby’s sleep matters. And YOUR sleep matters, too. 💛

Those newborn days can be SUCH a blur. 🤍

You’re soaking in those tiny snuggles while also wondering how it is humanly possible to be this tired. 😅

And while newborn sleep is absolutely different from older baby sleep, there are still things you can do from the very beginning to gently lay the foundation for better sleep.

Think: full feedings, helping their little body learn day vs. night, swaddling safely, paying attention to wake windows + sleepy cues, and yes… doing whatever you need to do to help that tiny baby get the sleep they need. Rocking and snuggling included. 🫶🏼

You are not “creating bad habits” by helping your newborn sleep. You’re supporting their nervous system while they’re still brand new to this whole being-a-human thing.

And the work you do now really can make sleep feel SO much more manageable later.

Sleep training isn’t just about getting your baby to sleep through the night. 😴

That’s often the goal everyone is focused on - and I get it, because sleep deprivation is HARD - but sleeping through the night is really the final piece of the puzzle.

First, we build the foundation. We make sure discomfort is addressed. We get the schedule in a good place. We help your baby develop the skills to initiate sleep independently. We work on naps.

And then, when all of those pieces start coming together, nights often follow. ✨

This is why I’m always saying that sleep training is so much more nuanced than “just let them cry.” We’re scaffolding skills, looking at the whole picture, and figuring out what your baby needs to get there.

I dive into the research, the why behind sleep training, and how to approach it in a way that feels right for your family in my book, The Peaceful Sleeper: An Intuitive Approach to Baby Sleep.

One of the biggest misconceptions about sleep training is that it means ignoring your baby’s needs. It doesn’t. 🫶🏼

Your baby is still allowed to need you. They can still be hungry, uncomfortable, sick, teething, scared, or just need some extra support - and you can and should absolutely respond.

But sleep training is about giving them the opportunity to develop the skill of falling asleep and moving through sleep cycles more independently. And once they have that skill, it can actually become easier to tell the difference between a normal nighttime wake and a wake where something is truly needed.

We can support secure attachment AND independent sleep. Those things are not mutually exclusive. ✨

There is soooo much fear-based information about sleep training out there, which is exactly why I care so much about looking at what the research actually tells us.

One of my favorite parts of this conversation with Lily from Auggie was talking about the little daily things we do with our kids that actually matter so much. 🤍

For me, one of those things is morning snuggles.

Sometimes by bedtime we are DONE 😂 We’re tired, touched out, trying to get everyone where they need to be, and forcing some magical connection moment just isn’t realistic.

So I love thinking about: where can I intentionally build connection into our day in a way that actually works for our family?

It doesn’t have to be elaborate. It can be morning snuggles. A song in the car. Five minutes on the couch. Those tiny, ordinary moments add up. 🥹

Moms are so good at making sure everyone else is taken care of…and then feeling guilty the second we need something for ourselves. 🙃

But your needs matter too.
Your sleep matters.
Your mental health matters.
Your ability to actually feel like a human matters.

I loved getting to talk about this with Monica Packer || habits + identity coach for the More for Moms Conference, because taking care of yourself isn’t taking something away from your family. In so many ways, it allows you to show up for them the way you actually want to.

And sometimes we need the reminder that we’re allowed to be on our own list. 💛

Nothing humbles you quite like thinking you’ve FINALLY got sleep figured out, and then your toddler starts waking you up at 2:13am because there’s a monster in their room. 😂🙃

Toddler night wakings can feel especially defeating because you’re like WAIT. We already did this!!! Why are we awake again?!

But toddler sleep is different. Their imaginations are exploding, fears are becoming more real to them, and sometimes they genuinely need a little extra reassurance. The goal isn’t to dismiss those fears OR create a new habit that requires you to be awake half the night.

We want to meet them where they are, reassure them, redirect them, and give them tools to feel safe enough to get back to sleep. Things like guided imagery, a nightlight, an “okay to wake” clock, a recording of your voice, or even a family picture by their bed can make such a difference.

You can be responsive and loving AND still hold boundaries around sleep. 💛

This one makes me a little emotional to look back on. 🥹

Watching Nolan learn how to swim was such a good reminder that sometimes our job as parents isn’t to remove the struggle - it’s to help our kids move through it.

Learning something new can be frustrating. It can be scary. They might want to quit. And every part of us wants to swoop in and make it easier.

But there’s something so powerful about being beside them while they struggle, encouraging them, believing in them, and letting them experience that moment of, “Wait…I CAN do hard things.”

We don’t have to rescue our kids from every uncomfortable feeling. Sometimes the confidence comes because they worked through it. 💛

What have you helped your child struggle through recently?

The crib transfer is an ART. 😂 You finally get that baby asleep, start lowering them into the crib ever so carefully…and suddenly those little eyes pop WIDE open. 🫠

There really is a finesse to transferring a sleeping baby, and timing can make such a difference. If you’re going to attempt the transfer, I typically recommend doing it within about 10–15 minutes of them falling asleep rather than waiting forever and hoping they’ll be extra asleep. 🙃

And yes - you may feel absolutely ridiculous with the slow lowering, strategic hand placement, and ninja-like escape from the room. But when it works?! WORTH IT. 😂 👏🏼

THIS 👏🏼

I loved this explanation from Dr. Michael Milobsky because this is exactly what I wish more people understood about sleep training.

We “train” our kids to do new things ALL the time. We support them, give them opportunities to practice, repeat it over and over again, and then gradually release that support as they build the skill.

Why do we suddenly treat sleep like it’s completely different?!

Sleep training does NOT have to mean putting your baby down and walking away. It can look like meeting them exactly where they are, offering the level of support they need, and slowly helping them learn how to do more independently.

That’s literally what learning is. 💛

And just like every other skill, different babies are going to need different amounts of support along the way.

Be honest - why do you think sleep training has gotten such a bad rap?
