Baby Bitesize: Why “Getting Your Baby to Sleep” Might Be Making It Harder
Manage episode 499664138 series 3563658
In this bite-sized episode of Thriving Parenting, we unpack a powerful reframe that could change the way you approach your baby’s rest. If you’ve ever felt the pressure of “getting” your baby to sleep, you’re not alone — but that hyperfocus can actually make the process more challenging for both of you.
Discover why sleep isn’t something we can force, how control can trigger stress responses, and why safety and connection are the real foundations for peaceful rest. Learn practical ways to shift from making sleep happen to creating an environment where it happens naturally — building trust, tuning into cues, and supporting your child’s growing independence.
If sleep has started to feel like a battle, this episode will help you find a calmer, more connected path forward.
