The Things No One Told Us
What Sleep Training Actually Is
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Abby and Liz talk honestly about what sleep training actually means to us.
We unpack the guilt and hesitation so many parents feel, share pieces of our own sleep deprived seasons, and clear up some of the misinformation floating around online. We explain what we mean when we say sleep training, and why it is not about leaving a baby alone to cry or following a rigid formula.
At its core, we see sleep training as teaching new skills, for babies and for parents, in a way that feels supportive, practical, and aligned with each family.
