S2 Episode 4: Waiting It Out Works
I’m always honest that Waiting It Out works.
And will forever reassure you that your Small will sleep through the night all by themselves even if you do nothing now.
I know that can sound unbelievable because society and the sleep training industry are constantly telling you the only way your Small will ever sleep through is if you teach or train them to.
But even if you:
Do nothing now
Never sleep train
Put a single sleep tip in place
Your Small will eventually:
Fall asleep solo
Sleep in their own sleep space
And sleep through the night!
However, I can’t tell you when they will and that can be hard to hear and the waiting isn’t always easy.
In this episode, Mum of two Kirsty joins me to share her waiting-it-out story with us.
She waited it out with her 3-year-old and is currently doing the same with her 7-month-old baby.
In this podcast episode, Kirsty and i talk through:
What is wait it out?
What wait it out mean for her family
Why Wait It Out worked for her family
Did she feel pressure to sleep train?
Was she ever tempted to sleep train?
What helped her while waiting
Whether she will wait it out again with her second baby
And so much more!
I really enjoyed talking to Kirsty and I hope you loved listening.
