from Decoded: The First Year · host drscl

I’m Dr SCL — chiropractor, dad, nervous system decoder — and this episode is for every parent who’s Googled “is this normal?” at 2am while bouncing a baby who should be asleep.So let’s just say it:Sleep in the first 6 months is wild.It’s unpredictable, it’s broken, and it often feels like your baby didn’t get the memo on all those “settling” techniques.But what if your baby’s sleep isn’t broken…What if it’s a clue?Today I want to reframe baby sleep as more than a routine or habit — and show you how it’s often a nervous system signal.
