Today, we'll dive into an aspect of child-rearing that is seldom enjoyed but always endures – teething. I’m not here to sugarcoat it; teething can be a period of trial and error, with sleep patterns taking a hit. But fear not, by the end of this episode, you will have a list of practical advice. From remedies that soothe to bedtime tactics that might just grant you some much-needed rest, we're going to explore the realities of teething including what symptoms are genuine indicators and which are mere myths.
We've all heard the tales, seen the products, and probably tried a few. But today, I'll break down the facts, backed by research and personal experience. And remember, when that tooth finally breaks through, we'll discuss how to swiftly return to your regular sleep routine. So, whether your little one is a champion sleeper despite those pearly whites piercing through or if every new tooth promises a sleepless night, I've got you covered.

In this episode, I share my experiences and insights on the topic of baby temperament and sleep. I discuss my personal experiences with my two children's sleep patterns and how temperament can play a role in their sleep habits. It’s important to understand and respond to a baby's temperament in a positive and nurturing way, rather than labeling them as "bad sleepers." I want to encourage you to consider evidence-based positive parenting techniques and sleep teaching methods to support your child's sleep needs. Sensitive sleepers can still become great sleepers with the right approach.
In this episode we share:Misconceptions about babies' sleepThe impact of parental stress and lack of knowledge on perceived temperamentNine different dimensions used to measure temperamentThe interplay between nature, nurture, and temperament in sleep behaviorThe influence of parental response and environmental factors on sleep challengesSustainable sleep solutions exist beyond strict schedules and cry-out methods
