The Truth About Sleep Training and Attachment

from Bringing Up Baby · host Ashley Wisener, owner of Birth Baby Sleep

Today I'm diving into one of the most emotionally charged topics in parenting: sleep training and attachment. Does sleep training actually harm your bond with your baby? What does the research really say about crying, responsiveness, and secure attachment? We're breaking down the myths, shares what experts in child development and pediatric sleep research have found, and explores why attachment is built through the overall relationship — not one parenting decision. If you’ve ever felt torn between supporting your baby’s sleep and protecting your connection, this episode is for you.
