You Can’t Control Your Baby’s Sleep (but you can control this!)

Welcome back to Resting in Motherhood, how are you finding rest this week mama? Head over to Instagram and send me a message to let me know. I'm really excited to dive into what I want to talk to you about today, which is the fact that we cannot control sleep for our little ones. Let me say it again: you cannot control your baby’s sleep. This is something that I think a lot of us struggle with, and having gone through it myself and looking back, my hypothesis or my theory is that the reason we struggle so much with infant sleep is because it is out of our control, yet we feel like it's something that we should be able to control. We feel like this because the sleep training industry has given us this totally skewed perception that we can control nap lengths, that we can control exactly when our baby is going to sleep and we can make them sleep through the night. This false idea that we can control our baby's sleep, leads to so much doubt, shame and overwhelm in parenthood. So I want to use these next 30 minutes to share some solutions that will help you recognize what you can control to maximize sleep and stress for you and your baby!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.
