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 to Work With Your Baby's Sleep Biology
There’s so much sleep information shared, but so much of it has no basis in basic sleep biology.
In this episode, I’m talking about two ways the body regulates sleep – our circadian rhythm and sleep pressure. I teach these basic concepts to every family I work with or who takes a sleep class with me. Once you understand how the body regulates sleep, you can set up rhythms that work with their sleep biology rather than working against it.
