Episode 50: Settling to sleep with someone else
Are you looking for some support to help your child settle to sleep with someone else at bedtime and/or wake ups?
If so, you’re going to love listening to this podcast episode!
In this episode, I’m joined by Rona, a first time mum to Lily who’s 18 months old. Rona would love it if Dad was able to settle Lily at bedtime and when she wakes up at night.
But like SO many Smalls, Lily is finding this transition a little tricky.
And Rona doesn’t quite know where to start making this huge change.
This is totally understandable because any changes (but especially one this big) can feel super overwhelming.
Join us for this podcast episode on getting someone else to settle your child to sleep, and we’ll talk you through:
Where to start your Small settling to sleep with someone else. The key really is finding that first small step!
The parent preference
Why this is a big boundary to change for you all
What this transition can look like
How to implement these big changes with care
Will there be tears and what to do when they are upset
Why focusing on you feeling calm and in control is important
And much more
