Decoded: The First Year | Episode 45 | Your Baby Isn’t a Bad Sleeper | Dr SCL

from Decoded: The First Year · host drscl

Few things make parents question themselves faster than sleep. Or lack of it.And somewhere along the way, many parents quietly start believing: “If my baby isn’t sleeping well… I must be doing something wrong.” Let’s remove something immediately.Your baby is not “bad at sleep.” That idea doesn’t even make neurological sense. Sleep is not a personality trait. It is a nervous system function.Because babies do not learn sleep through pressure, through routines or through “training”. They learn sleep through safety.And when we understand sleep through a nervous system lens… we stop seeing wakefulness as failure. And start asking much better questions.
