• EP 35 // Is Your Baby Overtired or Undertired? How to Fix Your Baby’s Sleep Schedule Fast 05.06.2026 23min

  Is your baby overtired… or undertired? If you’ve ever tried to troubleshoot baby sleep, you know how confusing this question can feel. Your baby fights naps, are they overtired or not tired enough? They wake 45 minutes after bedtime; do they need an earlier bedtime or more awake time? They’re up at night; is the schedule off, or is something else going on? In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the most confusing pieces of baby sleep: how to tell whether your baby is overtired or undertired, and what to adjust first. You’ll learn: the difference between overtired and undertired why both can lead to short naps, bedtime battles, early mornings, and night wakings the signs that your baby may need a shorter wake window the signs that your baby may need more awake time how to make one small schedule adjustment without changing everything at once why wake windows are a guide, not a law how to stop guessing and start looking for patterns If you feel like you’re doing everything “right” but your baby’s sleep still feels chaotic, this episode will help you slow down, simplify, and figure out your next best step. Because your baby does not need a perfect schedule. Your baby needs a steady mom with a clear plan. Ready for help figuring out what your baby’s sleep schedule should actually look like?

• EP 34 // How to Sleep Train Without “Cry It Out” But Still Get Results 29.05.2026 20min

  Can you sleep train without doing cry-it-out? If you’re an exhausted mom who desperately needs sleep but feels uncomfortable with harsh sleep training methods, this episode is for you. Today we’re talking about the middle ground between “do nothing and just survive” and “shut the door and don’t go back in.” Because you do not have to choose between abandoning your baby and abandoning yourself. In this episode, I’m breaking down what sleep training actually means, why “gentle” does not mean nothing changes, and how you can support your baby through learning independent sleep without feeling like you’re ignoring their needs. We’ll talk about: Why sleep training does not automatically mean cry-it-out The difference between comforting your baby and recreating the old sleep habit Why avoiding every tear can sometimes keep everyone stuck What actually needs to change for longer stretches of sleep How to create a gentle-but-structured plan that fits your baby, your values, and your capacity as a mom If your baby is waking all night, nursing or rocking back to sleep every time, or you feel stuck between two extremes, this episode will help you see a calmer, clearer path forward. You can be loving and clear.Responsive and consistent.Gentle and structured. And sometimes that is exactly what your baby (and your exhausted heart) need most.

• EP 33 // What to Do When Your Baby Wants to Nurse Every Time They Wake Up 21.05.2026 16min

  Does your baby wake up and immediately want to nurse every single time? Maybe you’ve tried rocking, patting, the pacifier, or waiting a few minutes — but nothing works until you nurse again. In this episode, we’re talking about what to do when nursing has become the only way your baby knows how to fall back asleep. You’ll learn how to tell the difference between true hunger and comfort nursing, why your baby may be waking so frequently, and how to start creating a gentle plan without jumping straight to full-blown cry it out. We’ll walk through simple, practical steps like tracking wake-up patterns, choosing “anchor feeds,” using a response ladder, starting with one wake instead of the whole night, and moving nursing earlier in the bedtime routine. If you’re exhausted, touched out, and wondering, “How do I stop nursing every wake-up without abandoning my baby?” — this episode will give you clarity, reassurance, and a place to start.
