How To Sleep Train Without Using Cry-It-Out Ft. @sleepandthecity

Today’s episode is all about sleep training your baby, so Aleen and
Brittany invite sleep expert Lauren Olson (@sleepandthecity) to
share all the secrets for getting your child to sleep soundly. They
start with a conversation about why sleep is so important for
children (and parents) in early development, especially when it
comes to health and temperament. They discuss the various methods
for sleep training, why the cry-it-out method may not be right for
you, and how napping plays into your sleep plan. Lauren offers some
simple tricks for getting your child to fall asleep and what to do
when you’re dealing with an active child. Plus, she gives tips for
keeping your toddler in their new bed once they’ve left the crib,
and why it’s so important to maintain a routine. Finally, they
explain the role of sleep cycles (both for adults and children)
when it comes to getting good rest. Learn more about your ad
