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!
The Responsive Family Sleep Podcast
Life With a Low Sleep Needs Baby or Toddler
There’s lots of talk about how much babies should sleep, but much of that conversation centers around averages, often the higher end of those averages. So what happens if your baby never seems to sleep as much as they are supposed to? You may have a low sleep needs baby. IN this episode I’m talking about life with a low sleep needs baby or child. I answer some common questions about low sleep needs kids like:
- What are low sleep needs?
- How do I know if my baby is low sleep needs or just not getting enough sleep?
- How do I cope with a low sleep needs baby?
Parent’s of low sleep needs babies and children have a different balance in their days and often need to realistically strategize with their child’s low sleep needs in mind. I hope this episode gives you some things to consider.
