The Truth About Supporting Your Child to Sleep (and an update on Lilah’s sleep!)

Lilah, my 4.5 year old, has started to fall asleep on her own! This big milestone has been the catalyst for a lot of reflection on the past few years of our sleep journey and I wanted to come on to the show today to share a bit of it with you in hopes that it will help you feel supported if it seems like you’re in the trenches of sleep (or lack of it!) each night. I’m starting off this episode by reminding you of a few of the lies the sleep industry pushes around the act of supporting children to sleep and what the truth – backed by science – actually is. Then I’m sharing how Lilah’s bedtime routine has shifted throughout the years to support us both in what we need. If you’re feeling in a rush to get your child to fall asleep independently, this next half hour is going to offer a lot of insight and next steps for you.Connect with me on Instagram: @resting_in_motherhood or visit the show’s site here.Work with Brittni:View current 1:1 Call and/or Email support services herePurchase the comprehensive sleep course, Resting in the First YearBook a 15 Minute Discovery Call hereCheck out additional workshops and guides hereThe Resting in Motherhood Podcast is produced by Heart Centered Podcasting.Learn more and join The Confident Mom's Collective here.
