Is Sleep a Skill I Need to Teach My Baby?

You need to teach your baby how to sleep. Give them the gift of good sleep skills. Do comments like this sound familiar? In this episode I’m unpacking the idea that we need to teach our babies to sleep. Hint, we don’t and can’t. I talk about sleep being an involuntary state that you don’t have conscious control over. I share some of the things you can influence to support falling asleep: sleep feeling safe, regulation at bedtime, and sometimes supporting through shifting routines and ways of falling asleep to maintain that safety and regulation.  Connect with Kim Grab a free sleep myth busting guide and learn more about working with Kim: https://intuitiveparentingdc.com/Instagram: instagram.com/intuitive_parenting_dcFacebook:  facebook.com/intuitiveparentingdc
