What To Do When Baby Only Wants One Parent Overnight
May 16, 2024 Episode 41

In this episode, I’m talking about what to do when your baby or toddler really, really won’t accept their other parent overnight. Even with the best tips, not all children at all ages are going to gently be nudged into accepting both parents overnight. I work with many families who find that it’s more stressful than they are comfortable with and prefer to find other ways to support the nursing parent – at least in their current phase. So, I’m sharing some ways to reframe and support the primary nighttime parent while you wait for a better time to even out the nighttime parenting load.
