310- Helping “Livewire” Babies Sleep with Macall Gordon

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today I get to hang out with Macall Gordon to talk about helping "livewire" babies sleep. Macall has a master's degree in applied psychology with a research -based specialization in infant mental health, sleep advice, and parenting culture. She also has a BS in human biology from Stanford University. She's a senior lecturer in the graduate counseling psychology program at Antioch University. She has conducted and presented her own research on temperament, sleep, and parenting advice at infinite child development conferences around the world. She has been a featured speaker at national sleep conferences and has led webinar -based advanced training for sleep coaches, mental health providers, and others on the impact of temperament on sleep. She is a certified gentle sleep coach trained by Kim West and a featured provider on the women's telehealth platform, Maven Clinic. She comes to this work because she had two sensitive, alert, intense children, and she didn't sleep for 18 years. Her new book, Why Won't You Sleep? A Game -Changing Approach for Exhausted Parents of Non -Stop, Super Alert, Big Feeling Kids is out November 19th. Snag that bad boy, y 'all. Sleep is so real. It was so nice to chat with Macall, and I am in it with a 3 1/2 year old and a 10 1/2 month old that are just so different. And Rach and I also go deep into that in the breakdown and talking about what this looks like in real life.
