EP26 You Can Get Out of the Nightmare of Sleep Deprivation as a New Mother

Most new parents expect babies and toddlers to sleep well under 12 hours a night, and that seemingly unrealistic number is unattainable. Parents believe that sleep deprivation is just part of the job and struggle to get a descent's night sleep. What if we told you there was a way to get your baby to sleep "like a baby"?   Joining Patty Post on Checkable Health's weekly podcast to discuss the importance of sleep for children (and parents) is Neha Naik. Neha is a certified infant sleep trainer and the founder of Sleepy Cubs, a 1:1 online coaching course for parents on how to sleep train their children based on their own needs and lifestyle.   Neha shares her journey to becoming a certified sleep trainer, including how she got her 5-month-old son to sleep 12 hours a night after just one week of training! She also talks about the many cultural and societal stigmas around sleep training and the common misconceptions contributing to women feeling unsupported.   Tune in to learn more about the science behind sleep training, when it's okay to start sleep training, and the many ways it can benefit you and your baby.   Topics discussed in this episode:   Neha Naik's business, Sleepy Cubs, and becoming a certified sleep trainer How Neha first started sleep training her child  Societal and cultural stigmas around sleep training Dangers of sleep deprivation Benefits of getting good sleep Best age to start sleep training How to be successful in sleep training Sleep training for toddlers and older children Sleep training as a self-soothing act Possible positive effects of sleep training Neha's sleep training workshops and programs   Be sure to follow Neha Naik and Checkable Health on Instagram to enter to win an adorable Mommy and Me set from Etsy's, MommasCraftingStore!   Connect with Neha: Instagram Facebook Website Blog   Parents, need help getting a better night's sleep?
