Sleep Associations: What They Are & How to Switch Them

As I’m recording this episode, I’m going through a beautiful transition: it’s Lilah’s last day of school (and I was so worried about her starting school on her first day!) and the summer excitement is almost in full swing. This got me thinking about how there are also transition periods when it comes to baby and toddler sleep, whether it’s starting daycare, introducing a new caregiver, or simply old ways of supporting your child to sleep not working anymore. Sleep associations are what your little one’s brain associates with going to sleep (ex: bouncing), but as your child grows, you may want to introduce new sleep associations and phase out the old ones. In this episode, I’m sharing practical tips on how to gently switch your baby or toddler’s sleep associations to find more rest in motherhood while showing your LO that sleep is a safe space.
