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!
The Responsive Family Sleep Podcast
What’s Your Baby Sleep Story?
In this episode, I’m talking about reflecting on your baby sleep story. Baby sleep stories are the ideas, expectations, and preconceptions we have about what baby sleep should look like. They are influenced by many factors and inform our parenting and sleep experience. Reflecting on your narrative or sleep story can allow you to set aside the expectations and pressures that don’t meet your family’s sleep needs.
