Realistic Expectations For Older Baby Sleep (6-12 Months)

from The Responsive Family Sleep Podcast · host Kimberly Hawley

There are so many unrealistic expectations perpetuated about older baby sleep that it’s no wonder that so many parents are confused and overwhelmed about what’s going on. This episode is the third in my series on realistic expectations. While you hear a lot about older babies sleeping through the night and not feeding, the reality (and research) tells a very different story. In this episode I help you understand what’s normal and some of the reasons why sleep is very dynamic during this time. The more you can understand what’s normal, the more you can set yourself up for better sleep.Related resourcesCheck out my blog on older babies and sleeping through the night:https://intuitiveparentingdc.com/blog/2022/11/28/should-my-older-baby-be-sleeping-through-the-night-a-look-at-the-research-and-reality-of-sleep-developmentDevelopmentally informed sleep expectations by age:https://intuitiveparentingdc.com/blog/2018/7/6/developmentally-appropriate-sleep-expectations-birth-to-age-5Connect with KimInstagram: instagram.com/intuitive_parenting_dcFacebook:  facebook.com/intuitiveparentingdcLearn more about working with Kim: https://intuitiveparentingdc.com/
