Summary

On this last episode of my sleep series, I talk with six mothers. Six mothers who approached sleep in different ways with their children. I decided to do this episode for a few reasons: 1. To hear from real mothers about how they approached sleep-training for their child 2. To hear different methods 3. To hear how although the methods were different, they are loving mothers who are raising amazing children. It really shouldn't matter how or when a parent chooses to sleep-train their child. Some do it early, some never do it, some wean feeds, some don't, some use cry-method and some prefer more gradual. All methods discussed are great methods I have seen work and it's important for me to share these women's strategies with all of you! If you haven't already, make sure to listen to episode 17,18 and 19 of the sleep series where I share more about why I recommend sleep-training, various methods, and an interview with a sleep consultant!

1:07.2	And the reason I created this episode was because I wanted people to hear from mothers on how they approach sleep and how even though it was different,
1:17.5	even though they chose methods that maybe you agree with or you you know you also did as well, that they are loving mothers who are raising
