#102: Father Led Sleep Training with Wes MacDermott

March 05, 2025 • Season 7 • Episode 102

This is for those looking for an alternative, partner-led sleep training method. Dr. Morgan and her husband Wes discuss the way that they have gotten all of their babies night weaned and sleeping through the night. Now, it's not a super involved method - certainly not rocket science, but they had so many questions that they decided to make an episode that can be referred back to and shared easily. They discuss how they prepare themselves and the child for this process - inclduing some factors where you may NOT want to start the sleep training just yet, and then they talk about the process itself - how there will be a crappy transitional period, Wes's tips and tricks for what he's actually doing, how Dr. Morgan manages milk supply issues, other stories, and more.
