Early bedtimes work. They help babies and children fall into their ideal sleep rhythm, which leads to higher quality, more restorative sleep. But parents can be a bit resistant to the idea of an early bedtime. In this episode, Allison will address WHY she's such an advocate of early bedtimes and HOW early bedtimes brought her household MORE joy and MORE quality time together. She can identify with parents who have concerns. She resisted this idea for nearly two years herself. She'll share how her family made the change and walk you through a client's recent experience with an earlier bedtime as well. You'll learn the benefits of catching your baby before their second wind kicks in and strategies to help your family set up an earlier bedtime schedule. The end result is a happier, more well rested baby and parents with some extra time to themselves in the evenings. Sounds like it might be worth a try, right?
