The Responsive Family Sleep Podcast
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting sleep information; frustrated by sleep advice that felt wrong; or searched for a truly gentle, responsive alternative to sleep training, then you are in the right place. In each episode I’ll be answering your most pressing baby and toddler sleep questions, dispelling common sleep myths, deepening your understanding of biologically normal sleep, and encouraging you to trust your intuition. And because sleep is rarely just about sleep, you may just find some responsive parenting, lactation, or self-care tips sprinkled in along the way.
I’m your host, Kim Hawley, MA, MPH, IBCLC Holistic Sleep Coach, Lactation Consultant, Peaceful Parenting Educator, and mom. My specialty is truly holistic, developmental, attachment focused sleep support – no hidden sleep training here!

How Sensory Strategies Can Support Better Sleep With Heather
In this episode, I’m joined by my friend, sleep coach, and OT Heather Boyd. We dive into the world of our senses, sensory processing, and using sensory strategies to support sleep. Heather shares tips for sensory input throughout the day and evening to fill our kid’s sensory cup, allowing them to head into bedtime ready for sleep.
