The Resting in Motherhood Podcast

Sleep Schedules vs. Sleep Routines

Brittni Season 1 Episode 41

“The best thing I ever did was put my baby on a sleep schedule,” is this something you’ve heard before? This may be the case for those easy going babies who easily adapt to change, but definitely not for the highly sensitive or more spirited children. In reality, sleep schedules are not realistic for a growing baby with unique sleep needs. Instead, we have to tune into the child in front of us, learn to recognize their sleep cues, and create a sleep routine. In this episode I’m sharing more on why a sleep schedule is not the answer, the differences between a sleep schedule and a sleep routine, and how to maximize sleep in your home.
