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!

Building Your Sleep Soothing Toolbox With Habit Stacking
Habit stacking is a common strategy I use with many families when they want to make a change with sleep or have more flexibility. In this episode I’m sharing:
- What is habit stacking (or layering sleep associations)?
- When and how to use habit stacking when supporting your baby or toddler through a sleep change.
- Examples of sleep soothing tools to stack.
- And some tips for ways I see the strategy not work in implementation.
If you’ve been wondering how you can increase flexibility in how you support your little to sleep or support them through a change, I hope this episode gives you some ideas.
