Anne Carlucci Season 2 Episode 1

Is Sleep Training Making You a Bad Mom? Let’s Set the Record Straight.

Have you ever mentioned sleep training your baby, only to be met with judgmental looks or unsolicited opinions?

If so, you’re not alone. Many moms struggle with the guilt and shame that society places on sleep training, often questioning whether they’re making the right decision for their baby and their family.

But here’s the truth: prioritizing healthy sleep habits does NOT make you a bad mom. In fact, it can be one of the best decisions you make for yourself and your little one.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

  • Why sleep training isn’t a selfish act—it’s an investment in your child’s well-being.
  • How to navigate judgment from family, friends, and even strangers at the park.
  • The key to confidently making parenting decisions that align with YOUR family’s needs.
  • Why it’s okay to change your mind about sleep strategies as you grow into motherhood.

Motherhood is already challenging enough without the weight of external opinions. It’s time to trust yourself, embrace your parenting choices, and give yourself the grace to figure it all out—without the guilt.

So, the next time someone raises an eyebrow at your decision to sleep train? Remember: your baby, your business. Period.
