Shh….All sleep training methods boil down to ONE idea: change your child’s template for how sleep happens at bedtime so that they get the hang of falling asleep where they will wake up. Boom. You don’t even need a book for this.

The sleep information out there can be overwhelming. It really boils down to THREE essential ideas: naps, bedtime, and middle of the night. That’s it.

Research shows that early work on sleep training does not really pay off. Just because a book is called “12 Hours Sleep by 12 Weeks” doesn’t mean that’s possible or even a good idea for lots of babies. Take your time, do what works. You can’t create a “habit” that can’t be shifted easily(ish) in a few more months. #12hourssleepby12weeks #sleeptraining #sleeptrainingmyths #newborns #newparent created by Macall Gordon M.A. with Macall Gordon M.A.’s original sound

*IS* white noise bad for babies? People are saying all kinds of scary stuff. Is it actually based in research? or are they just saying it is? #whitenoise #babydevelopment #babysleep #research created by Macall Gordon M.A. with Macall Gordon M.A.’s original sound

It’s not about “nursing pillows,” it’s about not leaving babies unattended on nursing pillows. If the baby has to be alone while you run to the bathroom, make sure they’re in a spot free of soft surfaces. #safesleep #nursingpillows #newbornsleep #newparent created by Macall Gordon M.A. with Macall Gordon M.A.’s original sound

Self-soothing is not learned in isolation. It's learned in relationship. Don't let anyone tell you that helping your little one regulate is a bad habit or prevents them from learning themselves. Self-soothing is learned through *tolerable* amounts of frustration....not through getting hysterical. #babysleep #selfsoothe #emotionalregulation #fyp #infantdevelopment #babysleeptips created by Macall Gordon M.A. with Macall Gordon M.A.’s original sound

The research on prevention hasn’t really shown that there are benefits that stick. Improvements in sleep were small and often disappeared after a month or two. Real talk? You definitely don’t *have to* start early with sleep training. It could honestly be more work than it’s worth. #newbornsleep #newmama #firsttimeparent #sleeptraining #babysleep #fyp created by Macall Gordon M.A. with Macall Gordon M.A.’s original sound

If you have a little one who is just “on” — always active, big feelings, never sleeps — and you feel like you’re just not getting this parenting thing right. Stop. Parenting advice is NOT written about kiddos like this. They are not talking about your little force of nature. YOU are rocking it. There are also millions of parents just like you who ALSO think they’re the only ones struggling. You’re not alone. #FOMO #tiredmama #bigfeelings #spiritedbaby #energizerbunny created by Macall Gordon M.A. with Macall Gordon M.A.’s original sound

Understanding how sleep develops at every age is almost more important than learning what you need to DO about sleep. Sleep develops as the brain develops and babies can’t go much faster than their brain will let them. #sleeptraining #newbornsleep #braindevelopment #newparents created by Macall Gordon M.A. with Macall Gordon M.A.’s original sound

Telling parents that they can create “bad sleep habits” in newborns is fiction. There is no evidence that this is possible and no evidence that prevention even works. #newbornsleep #newmom #newdad #firsttimemom #sleeptrainingmyths created by Macall Gordon M.A. with Macall Gordon M.A.’s original sound

Persistence is a great temperament trait…just not when it comes to sleep. Having a child who can totally, completely outlast you can be HARD…but it shouldn’t be a dealbreaker. #sleeptraining #strongwilled #tiredparent #temperament #littlelivewires created by Macall Gordon M.A. with Macall Gordon M.A.’s original sound

Four steps you can take to fix sleep (in order of how hard they are). Sleep training doesn’t have to equal crying-it-out (Ferber, Taking Cara Babies, etc.). You can decide how much help to give your child while they fall asleep. But first, take some steps to set yourself and your child up for success. You can work on sleep in a gradual, commonsense way. #sleeptraining #firsttimeparent #gentlesleeptraining #babysleeptips #toddlersleeptips created by Macall Gordon M.A. with Macall Gordon M.A.’s original sound

Parents of newborns: Don’t worry about sleep. Your baby needs your help with regulation for a while. It is okay (actually, fantastic) for you to help your tiny one make all of these transitions between awake and asleep, between hungry and full. Helping them is not a “bad habit.” It’s what we do as parents. #newparents #newbornsleep #eatplaysleep #newmom #babysleep created by Macall Gordon M.A. with Macall Gordon M.A.’s original sound
