Episode 58: ‘Leaps’ don’t cause disrupted sleep

Developmental ‘leaps’ have been blamed for unsettled infant behaviour and sleepless nights for over 30 years, all because of one small, flawed study conducted in the early 90’s. But what does the research evidence really tell us about leaps? And why is the idea of leaps so pervasively trusted by today’s parents? Tune in to hear Dr Fallon & Dr Laura (PhDs) dissect the science behind leaps and learn why parents shouldn’t dismiss all unsettled behaviour or persistent sleep difficulties as being due to leaps. Parent questions are also answered, including: Should I stop contact napping? What should I do if my baby is tried and grumpy? Why is my baby so noisy in their sleep? How does bedtime change as my child gets older? My baby’s daily rhythm changes drastically day to say – where do I start? What do night terrors look like in toddlers? ❤️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts  ❤️ Subscribe on Spotify ❤️ 🎥 Watch this episode on YouTube ✅ If you’re ready to resolve your baby or toddler’s sleep and settling difficulties, join Sombelle! Members can submit questions to be answered on the podcast each week: https://sombelle.infantsleep.com.au/  ✅ For FREE help with toddler sleep, join the Toddler Sleep Mini Series: https://sombelle.infantsleep.com.au/toddler-sleep-mini-series  ✅ For FREE help with baby sleep, download our ebook: https://sombelle.infantsleep.com.au/opt-in-1 ❤️ Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/infant.sleep.australia/
