Going back to work or leaving your baby with a nanny, daycare, grandma, or another caregiver can bring up a huge question for exhausted mamas: Will my baby still sleep well when I’m not there?
In this episode of Get Your Baby Sleeping with Restful Rhythms, certified pediatric sleep consultant Valerie Holm explains how to help your baby get the sleep they need, even when they’re with other caregivers.
If your baby currently relies on rocking, bouncing, feeding, or contact naps to fall asleep, it can feel stressful imagining someone else trying to handle nap time or bedtime.
Many moms are told things like “Daycare will figure it out” or “Your baby will sleep when they’re tired enough.” But in reality, overtired babies often sleep worse, not better.
The truth is: when babies learn the skill of falling asleep independently, sleep becomes flexible and portable. That means your baby can nap and sleep well with a nanny, daycare provider, dad, or grandparents, without everything falling apart.
Inside this episode, Valerie walks you through:
• The biggest myths moms hear about baby sleep and daycare naps
• Why overtiredness leads to short naps and frequent night wakings
• How independent sleep skills help babies sleep better in different environments
• The Supportive Independence System and how it helps babies sleep through the night
• Practical strategies for helping your baby nap well with a caregiver, nanny, or daycare
You’ll also learn about the Restful Rhythms Method, Valerie’s supportive approach to sleep training that focuses on connection, confidence, and long-term independent sleep skills.
If you want:
• 11–12 hours of uninterrupted night sleep
• Longer crib naps instead of 30-minute cat naps
• Calm, predictable bedtime routines
• Confidence that your baby will sleep well with other caregivers
• To stop surviving on coffee and start waking up rested again
This episode will help you understand exactly how to build sleep foundations that work in real life, especially when you’re a working mama.
