<div></div>
<div>Yes, it does mean that your child may be waking up an hour earlier than they typically do! If your child already wakes up early, this can be especially painful. But I've got you covered!</div>

<h3>I have 2 different plans of action below to help you survive this time shift:</h3>

	<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;">Plan 1: Do Nothing</span></h2>
<div>Don't laugh. Yes, this is really one of my options! Being transparent here, this is what my family typically does. We do nothing. We put the boys to bed at their usual 7pm time and then we get them up on the morning of DST at 7am (which feels like 8am to them).</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div></div>
<div>This approach does not work for everyone, but it will work if your children are slightly older (I'd say 12-18 months +), if they are well-rested, AND if you are good about enforcing a regular wake up time in your house. <strong>That third criteria is the biggest. </strong></div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div></div>
<div>If your baby/toddler is automatically taken out of their crib in the morning no matter when they wake or if your child gets out of bed in the morning and wanders to your room to get you no matter what time it is, this plan will NOT work for you.</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div></div>
<div>In our house, we are very intentional about what time we all start our day and we have been since my boys were babies. Wake up time is 7am in our house and if the boys happen to wake before then, they have learned (and my husband and I have enforced) that they lay or play quietly in their crib/bed until we come to get them at 7am. If this sounds like your family, you can probably get away with doing nothing for DST. Sounds nice, right?</div>

	<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;">Plan 2: The 30 Minute Shift</span></h2>
<div>If the above "plan" stresses you out or you realize you just aren't the type of family that will work for, here is your next option. <em>I'll use a 7pm-7am schedule for ease of explaining. </em></div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div><strong>Saturday night</strong>, before the time change, you will put your child down for bed 30 minutes later than usual. With our example, that would mean 7:30pm.</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div><strong>Sunday morning</strong> your child will probably wake at 6-6:30am according to the clock but it will feel like 7-7:30am to them. If they wake any earlier than 6:30am, <em>do not get them up until the clock says 6:30am. </em>If they wake before 6:30am, still use 6:30am to count their wake time to the first nap. For the rest of the day, their naps will probably be about 30 minutes earlier than usual according to the clock. For example, if they typically nap at 9:30am and 2:30pm, their naps on Sunday will be 9am and 2pm.</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div><strong>Sunday night</strong> you will put your child to bed 30 minutes earlier than usual, as well. So that means a 6:30pm bedtime (although it will feel like 7:30pm to their body still).</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div><strong>Monday morning</strong> you simply shift back to the typical 7am wake up! Again, if they wake earlier than 7am, <em>do not get them up until the clock says 7am. </em>Now their naps and bedtime should be completely back to normal. They may still be adjusting and they may struggle slightly at bedtime, but fear not! Experts say that for every 1 hour of jet lag we experience while traveling, it takes our bodies 1 day to adjust.</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div> AKA- this should not throw your child out of whack for weeks! If it does, you've likely reinforced an early wake up and you need to address that issue.</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #00acbf;">Bonus Plan:</span></h3>
<p>In case the 30 minute shift really has you freaking out, you can try 15 minute shifts instead. I would only recommend trying this if your baby is younger (under 1 year) and if you feel they are very sensitive to their schedule. Most well-rested children should be fine with the 30 Minute Shift.</p>
<p>You would use the above plan for 4 days and shift the schedule earlier by 15 minutes over 4 days. This one gets really complicated to explain and implement, and it's one of the reasons why I just prefer the 30 minute shift anyways! Get your pen and paper out if you decide to do 15 minutes! 🙂</p>
<h3><span style="color: #00acbf;">With Daylight saving time ending, I can't let you go without reminding you to make sure your children's rooms are VERY dark!</span></h3>
<p>What is 7am now will soon be 6am so go into your child's room 1 hour after they currently wake up and see how dark it is. Shut the door, turn off the lights, cover your windows however you typically cover them, and put your hand out. Can you see your hand? If you can, it's probably not dark enough! Any light that streams in acts like a signal to your child's brain that it's time to wake up.</p>
<p>If we don't want them waking too early, we have to troubleshoot to get that room nice and dark. Aluminum foil or garbage bags over the window are a great solution! If you are looking for a more permanent and aesthetically pleasing solution, I highly recommend <a href="http://www.blackoutez.com/231.html"><span style="color: #00acbf;">BlackoutEZ window cover</span>s</a>. We personally use them and they are awesome!

<p class="" data-start="462" data-end="699">Maybe you just wanted to know how long your baby should be awake between naps, or how to reduce night wakings — and suddenly you're caught in a heated debate about cry-it-out vs. co-sleeping, sleep training vs. “just go with the flow.”</p>
<p class="" data-start="701" data-end="796">It's overwhelming. It’s loud. And it can leave you feeling more confused than when you started.</p>

<p class="" data-start="1117" data-end="1346">As a certified sleep consultant (and a mom who’s been through it myself), I know how tempting it is to dive into every blog, podcast, or Facebook thread.

	<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Is it just a sleep regression? Or something else... We've all been there—waiting, hoping, surviving. Your baby was sleeping just fine, and then out of nowhere, the wake-ups start. You tell yourself, "It’s just a phase. It’ll pass." And sure, sometimes sleep regressions really do resolve on their own. But what if they don’t? What if weeks (or months) later, your baby's sleep is still a struggle?</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>The misconception: “It’s just a regression. It will pass!”</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You’ve probably heard this advice before: "It’s just a sleep regression. Give it time, and your baby will go back to sleeping well."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And yes, temporary disruptions in sleep due to developmental leaps, teething, or illness can improve on their own. But here’s the thing—if you’re stuck in unsustainable sleep habits while waiting for things to magically get better, there’s a chance this isn’t just a phase anymore.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>The reality: A regression can quickly become a habit</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s how it happens:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>A sleep regression begins</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> – Your baby suddenly wakes frequently or resists sleep.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Survival mode kicks in</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> – You start rocking, feeding, or co-sleeping just to get some rest.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Weeks pass… and nothing changes</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> – The "phase" is still going strong because your baby now expects those sleep habits every time they wake up.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If this sounds familiar, your baby’s sleep struggles may no longer be a temporary regression but a learned sleep pattern.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>How do you know it’s more than just a regression?</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If your baby or toddler only falls asleep with one (or more) of the following, and you feel stuck, it’s likely that a sleep habit has formed:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rocking or holding until fully asleep</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Feeding every time they wake up (even if they weren’t doing that before)</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">You lying next to them until they doze off</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Motion sleep (stroller, car, etc.)</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The good news? Instead of passively waiting for sleep to improve, you can take small, intentional steps to break the cycle and create sustainable sleep habits.</span></p>
<p>Also, be sure to take a look at my <a href="https://freebie.allthesleeps.com/sleepregressions"><span style="color: #00acbf;"><strong>FREE sleep regression flowchart</strong></span></a> if you're still unsure whether it's a sleep regression or not.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>How to get sleep back on track</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If your baby’s sleep has gone off the rails, you’re not alone. The key is to be proactive rather than waiting it out. You can start by:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Creating consistent, predictable bedtime routines</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gradually removing sleep associations that aren’t working for you</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Teaching your child independent sleep skills so they can resettle on their own</span></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>Need a plan of action?</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’re ready to move past the endless wake-ups and teach your baby to sleep independently, my </span><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>Sleep Coaching Crash Course (4-24 months)</b></span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> can help!

</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">✅ Follow a clear, day-by-day sleep training plan</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />

	<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Nighttime fears can make bedtime feel extra exhausting for both you and your child. If you’ve ever found yourself in a cycle of reassurance, endless negotiations, or last-minute sleep disruptions, you’re not alone. But the way you respond to these fears plays a huge role in how your child processes them.</p>
<p>If you hesitate, over-comfort, or try to "solve" the fear, your child learns that fear = something to be scared of.</p>
<p>If you stay calm, set limits, and respond consistently, your child learns that fear = something they can handle.</p>
<p>So, how do you respond in a way that builds confidence instead of reinforcing fear? Here’s what I DO (and DON’T do) when my child is scared at night:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><strong>✅ DO: Talk about fears—but during the day</strong></span></h2>
<p>Addressing fears in a safe and neutral environment helps your child process them without triggering an immediate fear response. Daytime discussions allow for problem-solving and reassurance without bedtime anxiety taking over.</p>
<p>❌ DON’T: Engage in long bedtime discussions. If your child brings up their fears at bedtime, keep your response short and reassuring. The goal is to reinforce that they are safe—not to make fears feel bigger by diving into long conversations when they’re already in a heightened emotional state.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #00acbf;">✅ DO: Stay calm, confident, and reassuring</span></strong></h2>
<p>Your child takes cues from you. If you remain composed and treat their fear as no big deal, they’ll be more likely to believe you. Confidence is contagious! For help with being confident and consistent, check out my free download: <a href="https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/i6x3z7"><span style="color: #00acbf;"><strong>6 scripts to end bedtime stalling</strong></span></a></p>
<p>❌ DON’T: Waver or hesitate when setting limits. If your child asks to sleep with you and you say, “Probably not,” they’ll keep pushing for a different answer. Be clear, be firm, and reinforce that they are safe in their own bed.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #00acbf;">✅ DO: Offer comforting strategies they can rely on</span></strong></h2>
<p>Provide your child with practical, tangible tools to feel secure at night. Some great options include:</p>
<ul data-spread="false">
<li>A special stuffed animal for comfort</li>
<li>Deep breathing techniques</li>
<li>Flipping their pillow as a “reset” cue</li>
</ul>
<p>❌ DON’T: Use monster spray. While well-intentioned, tools like "monster spray" imply that protection is needed—reinforcing that their fears are real rather than helping them build confidence.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #00acbf;">✅ DO: Expose them to their room in safe ways</span></strong></h2>
<p>Give your child small moments of exposure to their sleep environment in a fun, low-pressure way. Try playing in their dark room during the day with flashlights to help normalize the space.</p>
<p>❌ DON’T: Expect the fear to disappear overnight. Like all sleep skills, confidence takes practice. Be patient, stay consistent, and remind yourself that small steps forward are still progress.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #00acbf;">Remember...</span></strong></h2>
<p>When you respond with confidence and consistency, your child learns: <em>I am safe, and I can handle this.</em></p>

	<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wondering why bedtime battles happen? If you’re negotiating with your child at bedtime every night, I’ve got some tough love for you…</span></p>
<p><b>You are the problem.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Not your child.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I know, that stings a little. But hear me out—because the good news is, that means you also have the power to fix it.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><strong>Why negotiating at bedtime makes sleep harder</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’ve ever found yourself saying:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">❌ </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I just couldn’t convince her to let me leave the room.”</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> ❌ </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“He wouldn’t listen when I said it was bedtime.”</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> ❌ </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“She kept asking for just one more book, one more sip of water, one more hug…”</span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">…then bedtime has turned into a </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">debate</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in your house. And that debate? That’s the real source of your sleep struggles.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kids </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">thrive</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on consistency. But when bedtime is a nightly negotiation, the message they’re getting isn’t “this is our bedtime routine,” it’s “I have to push and push to see if I can get more.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So how do we fix this? By taking the negotiation out of bedtime completely. Here’s how:</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #00acbf;"> Move bedtime to an age-appropriate time</span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the biggest mistakes parents make is pushing bedtime later and later, hoping it will make things easier. But here’s the truth:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">too-late</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> bedtime leads to an </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">overtired</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> child, which leads to </span><b>more</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> resistance, </span><b>more</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> stalling, and </span><b>more</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> frustration for everyone.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Making sure bedtime is </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">early enough</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (based on your child’s age and daily naptime) will set you up for success before you even start the routine.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #00acbf;"> Stick to the exact same bedtime routine—every. single. night.</span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Repetition is key. Your bedtime routine should be predictable and consistent, so your child knows exactly what to expect.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">✔️ Keep it short (30 minutes max)</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> ✔️ Follow the same steps in the same order</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> ✔️ Make a bedtime chart if needed</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The more consistent you are, the less pushback you’ll get. Eventually, your child will stop trying to test the limits because they’ll know you aren’t budging.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #00acbf;"> When it’s lights out, it’s lights out</span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is where a lot of parents struggle. The routine is done, but then your child starts pulling out all the stops…</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">🚨 “Just one more story!”</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 🚨 “I need another hug!”</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 🚨 “I’m thirsty!”</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 🚨 “I have to go potty again!”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The second you engage in this back-and-forth, you’re reinforcing the idea that bedtime is up for negotiation. Instead, you have to make it clear:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">⏳ The bedtime routine is over.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 💡 The lights are out.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 🚪 You’re leaving the room.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And once that happens, </span><b>you’re done responding</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. No extra stories, no extra snacks, no extra attention.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The show is over if there’s no audience—so stop being the audience. 🤷‍♀️</span></p>
<p>Pssst! Need a little extra help with this one? <a href="https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/i6x3z7"><strong><span style="color: #00acbf;">Download my free sample scripts to end bedtime stalling here.</span></strong></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #00acbf;"> Validate feelings, but hold the boundary</span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your child might </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">not like</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> bedtime. They might cry, yell, or protest. And that’s okay! Their feelings are valid.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But validating feelings doesn’t mean changing the boundary. You can acknowledge their frustration while still holding firm.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">✔️ </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I know you really want to keep playing, but sleep time is here.”</span></i></p>
<p><i></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> ✔️ </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You’re feeling upset, and I understand. But it’s time for bed.”</span></i></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">✔️ “Snuggle time is over for tonight. We can snuggle as much as you want in the morning though.”</span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> ✔️ </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s hard when things don’t go the way we want, but our bodies need rest.”</span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No negotiating. No debating. Just a calm, confident response—and then, bedtime stays bedtime.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #00acbf;">Imagine a bedtime without battles…</span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No more </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“just five more minutes.”</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> No more </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“one more story.”</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> No more endless back-and-forth.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">is</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> possible. And if bedtime is a struggle in your house, I can help.</span></p>

	<p>Parents tend to get very stressed out about Daylight Saving Time each year. But the good news is that springing forward is much easier on families than falling back! Yay!</p>
<p>In this quick blog (or episode if you prefer to listen) I walk you through the basics with 3 different approaches you can chose from depending on your unique situation. Don't forget to head to the blog link below and get your screen grabs for easy referencing!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>*This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my <a href="https://allthesleeps.com/privacy-policy-page/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">privacy and disclosure statement</a> for more information.</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #00acbf;"><strong>Option #1 for time change</strong></span></h1>
<p><em><strong>Who should use this option?</strong></em></p>
<ul>
<li>If morning life for you is pretty laid back and you don't have morning appointments that you need to get up and ready for</li>
<li>OR if you have a child who is waking earlier than you'd like</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This one is real simple. Don't change anything and just let them sleep in on Sunday! I'd still wake them by 8am but otherwise, let them sleep in! (Keep in mind, sleeping until 8am on Sunday will actually feel like 7am to their bodies)</p>
<p>Then go on with your day from there. If you use wake windows, continue to use them like usual. If you have set nap times, you'll need to shift them later according to how late your child slept in the morning. But that's it! Easy breezy!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #00acbf;"><strong>Option #2 for time change</strong></span></h1>
<p><em><strong>Who should use this option?</strong></em></p>
<ul>
<li>If you have places to be in the mornings so you can't just let your child sleep in</li>
<li>Also, if your child doesn't seem to be sensitive to schedule changes</li>
<li>Or if your child is 18 months or older</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This one requires little to no prep. Do everything normally with their schedule leading up to Sunday and the time change. On Sunday, you will wake them up at the usual time (according to the clock). So if morning wake up is usually 7am, you will wake them up at that time- even though to their body, that will really feel like 6am.</p>
<p>Then go about your day like usual. No fuss! Use your usual wake windows or your usual set nap times. *This is what me and my family do!*</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #00acbf;"><strong>Option #3 for time change</strong></span></h1>
<p><em><strong>Who should use this option?</strong></em></p>
<ul>
<li>If you prefer a more gradual approach to time changes</li>
<li>If your child is younger</li>
<li>Or if your child is more sensitive to schedule changes</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is the slightly more gradual approach. We still aren't going to spend a ton of time and energy shifting the schedule because that's honestly just making it more complicated than it needs to be! But we are going to spend 2 days adjusting the schedule to be a bit more gradual.</p>
<p>On Sunday, let your child sleep until 30 minutes later according to the clock. So if your child usually wakes at 6:30am, you will let them sleep until 7am on Sunday. This will make everything on Sunday feel like it's shifted roughly 30 minutes later as well- including bedtime.</p>
<p>Then on Monday, wake your child up at their old, usual wake up time. From my example above, that would be 6:30am. Then the rest of your day will fall into place like your typical daily schedule.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #00acbf;">Important Reminder</span></strong></h1>
<p>With the clocks changing, it is going to be light in the evenings at bedtime. You need to ensure your child's room is plenty dark at bedtime. I highly recommend <a href="http://www.blackoutez.com/231.html"><strong><span style="color: #00acbf;">BlackoutEZ Window Covers</span></strong></a> if you need a better window solution. If you need a cheap, quick fix then aluminum foil works wonders! Tape it up over the windows and it completely blocks out all the light!</p>
<p>Bottom line, we need to block the sun from coming into their room at bedtime or else they may have a harder time falling asleep in the evening.</p>
<p>If you have a toddler or preschooler, you will want to start talking to the now about the time change to prep them. This doesn't need to be a high level conversation but something simple: "Winter is almost over and it's almost spring! Yay! That means the sun will stay out later too."</p>
<p>Then you can have the conversation that even though the sun is out later, it is still bedtime according to the clock. Then hold firm with your boundaries if they struggle to adjust. They will get there!</p>

	<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’ve spent any time researching baby sleep, you’ve probably come across some opinions about sleep training. And let’s be honest—some of them can sound pretty extreme.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">❌ “Sleep training is just ignoring your baby.”</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">❌ “It’s a traumatic experience.”</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">❌ “It’s only a thing because of modern society and the patriarchy.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But here’s the truth: You’ve been lied to.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s break down five of the biggest myths about sleep training and what you actually need to know.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><strong>Lie #1: What’s best for the baby is all that matters</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that the only thing that matters is what’s “best” for the baby. But here’s the reality: What’s best for baby isn’t actually best for baby if mom is suffering.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your physical and mental health matters too. When you’re exhausted, burned out, and struggling, that impacts your baby just as much as their sleep does. Prioritizing your well-being isn’t selfish—it’s essential.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><strong>Lie #2: Sleep training is just ignoring your baby’s cries</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the biggest misconceptions is that sleep training means walking away and never looking back. But if that were true, it wouldn’t be called a sleep training method.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sleep training is about teaching your baby independent sleep skills while still responding to them. Do the responses look different from how you’ve been handling sleep? Of course. But sleep training doesn’t mean neglect—it means helping your baby (and yourself) get the rest you need.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #00acbf;">Lie #3: Sleep training is too stressful for babies</span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s be real: Life is stressful. And while we don’t want to stress our babies unnecessarily, we also can’t protect them from every little challenge.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Learning to sleep independently might be frustrating for your child at first, but that doesn’t mean it’s harmful. Think about all the things we expect our kids to learn—using a car seat, brushing their teeth, eating solid foods. Some of these come with discomfort and pushback, but they’re still necessary skills.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #00acbf;">Lie #4: Falling asleep alone is a traumatic experience</span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I have to tell you, as a foster parent, this lie absolutely infuriates me. Trauma is a real thing that unfortunately, many children do go through as they grow up. But I struggle not to roll my eyes when sleep training is referred to as causing trauma. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There’s a big difference between learning something new and experiencing trauma. Falling asleep independently may be different from what your baby is used to, and they might not love the change right away. But calling it trauma? That’s a big stretch.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A well-rested baby in a loving home, learning a new skill with supportive parents? That’s not trauma—that’s growth. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #00acbf;">Lie #5: Sleep training is a product of Western ideals &amp; the patriarchy</span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One argument against sleep training is that it only exists because of Western work schedules and societal pressures. And while those factors might play a role in why some parents decide to sleep train, they aren’t the only reasons.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the end of the day, your job isn’t to fix society. Your job is to do what’s best for your family. If that means sleep training so you can function as a better parent, then that’s what you should do—regardless of what the anti-sleep training crowd says.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #00acbf;">So where does that leave us?</span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Next time you come across anti-sleep training rhetoric on your feed, remember this:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">✔️ Taking care of yourself is part of taking care of your baby.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">✔️ Sleep training doesn’t mean ignoring your child.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">✔️ All stress is not created equal- there is such a thing as positive stress.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">✔️ Learning to sleep independently isn’t traumatic.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">✔️ You don’t need to carry the weight of society’s flaws on your shoulders.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So if sleep training is the right choice for your family, go for it—guilt-free. 💛</span></p>

	<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sleep training expectations... ah, the blissful world of dreams and ideal scenarios! While it's tempting to live in a bubble of wishful thinking when it comes to baby and toddler sleep, the reality can be quite different. 🤪 If you’ve been diving into the sea of information on sleep training, you might be swimming with some lofty expectations.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s set the record straight with a refreshing dose of reality—sorry, not sorry! 😅 But you’ll appreciate this tough love later, I promise. While dreaming of a perfect sleeper can be comforting, these high expectations can lead to disappointment during the sleep training process and prevent you from recognizing the progress your little one is actually making.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s break down some common expectations versus the realities of baby and toddler sleep training, along with my advice to help you navigate this journey.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>Sleep training expectation 1: It should only take about 3 nights of sleep training for all my baby’s sleep issues to be fixed.</b></span></h2>
<p><b>Reality:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Three nights is often not enough to resolve all sleep problems for most families.</span></p>
<p><b>My Advice:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Approach sleep training with a two-week timeframe in mind. This duration allows you to establish a new rhythm and gives your baby the time they need to adjust to changes. Remember, consistency is key, and it might take a little longer to see significant results.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>Sleep training e</b></span><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>xpectation 2: Soon my baby will be sleeping 12-hour nights every single night!</b></span></h2>
<p><b>Reality:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Not all babies are capable of sleeping 12 hours straight, and that’s completely normal.</span></p>
<p><b>My Advice:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Set a more reasonable goal of around 10 to 12 hours of sleep, depending on your baby’s age and needs. Understand that every child is different, and their sleep patterns can vary. Focus on creating a positive sleep environment, and let’s see what unfolds!</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>Sleep training e</b></span><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>xpectation 3: Once I sleep train, my child will follow an exact schedule every single day.</b></span></h2>
<p><b>Reality:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> While sleep training can help create more predictable sleep patterns, don’t expect your child to adhere to a rigid schedule.</span></p>
<p><b>My Advice:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Keep in mind that we are raising little humans, not robots! Flexibility is essential, and small variations in sleep times are entirely normal. Embrace the ebb and flow of your child’s natural rhythm.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>Sleep training e</b></span><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>xpectation 4: If I use a really gradual sleep training method, then I won’t have to hear any crying!</b></span></h2>
<p><b>Reality:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Even the most gradual “no-cry” methods may involve some tears.</span></p>
<p><b>My Advice:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Don’t fear crying—it’s a natural emotional response from your child as they adapt to sleep changes. Understand that your child is expressing their feelings, and that’s okay! Being there to support them through these emotions is crucial, and it doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>Ready to tackle sleep training?</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With the right approach, sleep training can transform not just your baby’s sleep, but your entire family’s quality of life.

<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b style="color: #00acbf;">Why you might want to skip the talk back feature on your baby monitor...</b></h2>
<p><em>*This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my <a href="https://allthesleeps.com/privacy-policy-page/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">privacy and disclosure statement</a> for more information.</em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Baby monitors have become a must-have for modern parents, offering peace of mind and a chance to peek in on your little one without disturbing their rest. (<a href="https://amzn.to/4jw37N1"><em>This is my personal favorite right now</em></a>) Many of these monitors come equipped with a talk back feature, allowing you to speak directly to your baby or toddler through the monitor. At first glance, it seems like an easy way to soothe your child without stepping into their room.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But before you hit that button, let’s talk about why less is often more when it comes to baby and toddler sleep. Here are two reasons why using the talk back feature might not be as helpful as it seems—and what to do instead for better results.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>Reason #1: It can scare your child</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Picture this: You’re lying in a dark room, trying to fall asleep, and suddenly you hear a voice speaking to you—yet there’s no one around. Spooky, right?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For many babies and toddlers, hearing a disembodied voice through the baby monitor can feel just as unsettling. They might not understand where the sound is coming from or why they can hear you but not see you. Instead of calming them, the talk back feature can create confusion or even fear, making it harder for them to settle down.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Young children thrive on connection, but that connection is often strongest when it’s face-to-face. If your child needs comfort, consider physically going into their room instead of relying on the monitor. A reassuring touch or your calm presence can be much more effective than an unfamiliar, out-of-context voice.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>Reason #2: It sets an expectation for immediate responses</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Using the talk back feature can unintentionally create a new sleep challenge: the expectation that every time your child stirs, they’ll hear your voice right away.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This can quickly lead to a cycle where your child begins to wake more frequently, expecting interaction each time. While it may seem harmless at first, it can escalate into a habit where your little one starts "chatting" with you through the monitor during the night, rather than self-settling back to sleep.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Consistency is key to helping children develop independent sleep skills. When you avoid the talk back feature, you’re teaching your child that nighttime is for rest—not for conversations, negotiations, or back-and-forth interactions.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>What to do instead</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If your child truly needs comfort in the middle of the night, it’s better to go into their room and soothe them directly. A brief visit where you calmly reassure them with your presence and words can work wonders without adding confusion or creating new habits.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A few tips for in-person reassurance:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Don't rush right into their room. Instead pause, listen, and see if they can resettle without you first. Delaying gratification is key with habitual wakings.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Keep the lights dim or off to maintain a sleepy atmosphere.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Use a gentle, soothing voice to reassure them.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Keep interactions brief to avoid overstimulation.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This approach not only provides the connection your child needs but also gives them the space to fall back asleep without, build confidence in being alone in their room, and helps reinforce healthy sleep boundaries.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

	<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the idea of sleep training your little one, you’re not alone! Many parents share the same worries and uncertainties, but I'm here to help you navigate this journey with confidence. Sleep training is a valuable tool that can lead to better sleep for both your baby and yourself. Not only do I have some quick answers to your most asked questions about sleep training, but I also have linked a lot of good, free resources to dive even deeper into these answers. Let’s tackle some of the most frequently asked questions to hopefully make the process less intimidating before you get started. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>Will sleep training hurt my bond with my baby?</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the most common concerns parents have is whether sleep training will negatively impact their relationship with their baby. The answer is a resounding no! In fact, sleep training can strengthen your bond as both you and your baby get the rest you need. A well-rested parent is more emotionally available, attentive, loving, and attuned, which can enhance the connection you have with your little one. So, rest assured, prioritizing sleep is a way to nurture your relationship. <a href="https://allthesleeps.com/sleep-training-attachment-whats-the-research-say/"><strong><span style="color: #00acbf;">To see the research that backs up this answer, head to this blog.</span></strong></a></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>How do I know if we are ready for sleep training?</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If sleep feels like a struggle and your current habits seem unsustainable, you are likely ready to consider sleep training. Signs that it's time include frequent night wakings, difficulty falling asleep, or an increasingly cranky baby due to lack of rest. Remember, sleep is crucial for your baby's development, so if it’s becoming a challenge, it’s time to explore your options. <a href="https://allthesleeps.com/4-signs-you-and-baby-need-a-sleep-change/"><span style="color: #00acbf;"><strong>I talk more in depth about 4 reasons you might be ready to sleep train here.</strong></span></a></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>How long will sleep training take?</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The duration of sleep training can vary depending on your family’s situation and the approach you choose. However, many families report small improvements within just a few days and by 2 weeks of consistency, many families feel they are settling into new habits and already enjoying the benefits of sleep coaching. The key is commitment and consistency. It may seem daunting initially, but with dedication, you’ll be on your way to better sleep before you know it!</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>Is it okay if my baby cries during sleep training?</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is absolutely normal for crying to occur as your baby learns a new way routine and a new way to fall asleep. Think of it as part of the learning process. You’ll be right there providing comfort and support as they navigate this new skill. Remember, you’re not abandoning your child; you’re teaching them a valuable tool for sleep. I know that crying can be a big hang-up for parents when thinking about sleep training so I have put together this great resource for you all about how to re-frame your thoughts on crying <a href="https://allthesleeps.com/crying-is-not-a-fire-that-needs-to-be-extinguished/"><span style="color: #00acbf;"><strong>here</strong></span></a> and <a href="https://allthesleeps.com/re-frame-your-thoughts-about-crying/"><span style="color: #00acbf;"><strong>here.</strong></span></a></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><strong>What if my baby wakes up hungry in the night?</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nighttime feeds are completely normal for babies, especially in the early months. Sleep training focuses on reducing unnecessary wakings while still allowing for those essential feeds. If your baby is genuinely hungry, it’s important to meet that need. The goal is to create a balance that supports both their nutritional needs and their ability to sleep well. Not sure if your baby is actually hungry overnight or just eating out of habit or comfort? <a href="https://allthesleeps.com/night-wakings-hunger-or-comfort/"><span style="color: #00acbf;"><strong>See this blog to find out!</strong></span></a></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><strong>What if my baby is teething or going through a regression? Should I wait to sleep train?</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can absolutely still pursue sleep training during teething or developmental regressions! There’s rarely a “perfect time” for sleep training, as there will always be bumps along the road. Instead of waiting for ideal conditions, consider using gentle sleep training methods that can accommodate your baby’s changing needs. Flexibility is key but don't wait for the "perfect time" to get started or you might find you still haven't made the time until your baby is a preschooler (or older)! <span style="color: #00acbf;"><a style="color: #00acbf;" href="http://freebie.allthesleeps.com/sleepregressions"><strong>Also, I've created this free handy sleep regression flowchart that I think every parent should have! Check it out here.</strong></a></span></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00acbf;"><b>Ready to tackle sleep training?</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With the right approach, sleep training can transform not just your baby’s sleep, but your entire family’s quality of life.
