Are you looking for an approach other than sleep training to improve your child's sleep? Then you've come to the right place! Meredith Brough, a pediatric sleep and childcare expert, teaches a unique approach (called Baby-Centered Sleep) for building sleep habits for babies, toddlers and young children. She teaches parents how to move forward in building strong sleep habits by trusting their intuition, being in tune with their children and focusing on their temperaments. Every child has specific needs and responses when it comes to sleep.
This episode will help you overcome the roadblocks in your mind that might be limiting your progress with sleep. (It's not your fault these messages are there!) It's almost impossible to avoid the effects of information overload and confusion from all of the conflicting sleep advice! How can you feel clear minded with so many opinions and approaches to sort through? How can you know who to trust and what will work when a lot of the advice doesn't feel right? You may not even realize that your mind is buzzing with thoughts that are getting in your way! As you listen to the show, you'll be surprised to learn how sleep training advice has affected you.
Feel your mind open up as you identify the fears and rules that are causing problems for you and your child. Find out how to stay in tune and trust your intuition. Discover the truths and insights that will empower you to accomplish the sleep goals you've been hoping for!
This episode will bring confidence, motivation, and peace as you move forward in your sleep journey and care for your child.
