The Responsive Family Sleep Podcast
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting sleep information; frustrated by sleep advice that felt wrong; or searched for a truly gentle, responsive alternative to sleep training, then you are in the right place. In each episode I’ll be answering your most pressing baby and toddler sleep questions, dispelling common sleep myths, deepening your understanding of biologically normal sleep, and encouraging you to trust your intuition. And because sleep is rarely just about sleep, you may just find some responsive parenting, lactation, or self-care tips sprinkled in along the way.
I’m your host, Kim Hawley, MA, MPH, IBCLC Holistic Sleep Coach, Lactation Consultant, Peaceful Parenting Educator, and mom. My specialty is truly holistic, developmental, attachment focused sleep support – no hidden sleep training here!

When Can I Get My Baby On A Schedule?
When can I get my baby on a schedule is a very popular question I get from parents of younger babies (and even parents of older babies struggling with sleep unpredictability). It’s understandable as schedules bring predictability and order to what can feel like sleep timing chaos. In this episode I’m talking about schedules – what’s realistic and what’s not. The answer to when a baby’s sleep gets more predictable depends on their Temperament, age, and daily patterns. It also depends on what you mean by a schedule, more of a rhythm or precise, exact timings. There isn’t a simple answer, but I hope this episode will help you think through schedules and your baby in a more realistic way.
