5.8: Sleep Training: The Most Controversial Nap You’ll Ever Take
We get asked about sleep training constantly, what worked, what didn’t, and whether we still believe in any of it. So here we go: a full episode dedicated to the most controversial nap of all time.
From cry-it-out to contact naps, gentle sleep to white noise machines duct-taped to the crib (we’ve been there), we’re breaking down what sleep training actually is, the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it, and why the pressure to “get it right” can feel so intense.
Whether you’re team “schedule everything” or “just trying to survive,” this episode is for every mom who’s ever googled “is my baby broken” at 2am. You’re not alone. And yes, you will sleep again.
🎧 Listen for:
- What worked (and flopped) for us
- Myths we believed
- The guilt, the judgment, the desperation
- Real talk on pressure, comparison, and evolving with your baby
If you’re rocking a baby in the dark wondering if you’re doing it all wrong, this one’s for you.
You're not failing. You're just f*cking exhausted.
