I talk to a lot of parents who worry that they are doing something wrong or feel guilty about what they are doing when it comes to their child's sleep. Why? Because they are comparing their child/family/situation to someone they know or something they saw online.
Why is this problematic? Because no two children or families or situations are the same. Even siblings can be different from the day they are born. Comparing your child or your family's sleep situation to another's isn't helpful and can often lead to you questioning yourself or doing things that don't align with your parenting style or instituting things that are not age-appropriate for your little one. So here I am to tell you to stop comparing. Yes, I know easier said than done, but it can be a game changer. Every child/family/situation is unique. You're on your own journey and if you have questions or doubts, please feel free to book a call...I am here to help! With 9 years of professional experience (and over 16 years as a mom) I can help you take the guesswork out of sleep. Yours in sleep, Tracie / Rest Well Baby FACT! We all wake several times per night. The reason for this is due to the fact that we all go through sleep cycles, and at the end of each sleep cycle our brains wake up.
Your baby or toddler might be struggling to fall back to sleep on their own at the end of some/all sleep cycles because they are used to falling asleep in a different way (holding, rocking, feeding, etc.) and they are letting you know they need some assistance returning to sleep. If you have a baby, toddler or preschool aged child who is not sleeping well, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly at: [email protected] to learn how I can help your family get the gift of sleep. Yours in sleep, Tracie / Rest Well Baby |
