E13: How to get your sleep back!
Episode description
With my two-year-old entering a massive sleep regression, I have found myself transported back to those horrendous memories of my firstborn, Louis’ horrendous sleep habits.
Yes, the hubby James and I made all the classic errors, allowing our little one to snuggle up all too often in our bed, resulting in years of sleepless nights, bedtime tantrums (me and Louis 🤣), and ending in us seeking the help of a professional sleep trainer.
We tried them all; the gradual retreat method, the controlled cry-it-out method, the pick-up and put-down method, the ‘completely let them lose their shit and ignore’ method… the list goes on.
So although I am no expert, in this week’s episode, I thought why not share my journey and the advice I have been given or researched over the years, because if it goes a small step to helping you claim back some of your sleeping hours, then I know you'll thank me for it!
In this episode we talk about:
- Those easy mistakes
- Creating bedtime routines
- The types of sleep training
- Cot vs napping on the go
- Feeling refreshed rather than a zombie!
