Manage episode 501025203 series 3496612
Need sleep? Help is here with this week's episode of The Expert Guide to Parenthood Podcast.
Sleep has to be the number one thing all parents crave and it is probably the number one topic you get asked about when people enquire how your baby is going.
“Is your little one sleeping through the night?’ has become an invisible success indicator which is so unfair and quite cruel when you are in the multiple-night-wake trenches!
We welcome back our sleep experts Dr Laura Conway and Dr Fallon Cook from Infant Sleep Australia to talk about how to get your baby to sleep through the night.
We discuss:
- Why is sleeping through the night such a big milestone for parents?
- What it actually means to sleep through the night when it comes to babies
- At what age can parents typically expect their baby to sleep through the night?
- Is it realistic to expect a breastfed baby to sleep through the night?
- The common reasons a baby won't sleep through the night
- How day sleep impacts night sleep
- Sleep associations
- The biggest ‘mistake’ Dr Laura and Dr Fallon see parents make when it comes to supporting their child to start sleeping through the night
- How to know if overnight wake ups are due to hunger or habit
- How important are bedtime routines
- Top tips to get your baby to sleep through the night
Fallon and Laura are co-directors of Infant Sleep Australia and the Sombelle Paediatric Sleep Programs.
