The Biggest Sleep Myths Parents Are Still Being Sold (and What Actually Helps)

As a doula and newborn care specialist for over 20 years, I can tell you this with certainty : Parents are drowning in misinformation about sleep.

From "sleep regressions" to teething, dream feeds, early rising, and even sleep supplements - there are so many myths circulating that it's no wonder parents feel confused and exhausted. In this episode, I'm breaking down the most common newborn sleep myths and giving you something far more powerful than trendy advice: Clarity.

Because newborn sleep varies widely, and while every baby is different, sleep is not random.It can absolutely be molded with the right foundation and responsive parenting practices.

We'll talk about:

• Why sleep regressions aren't inevitable?

• Why is teething often blamed incorrectly?

• What actually works when babies wake early?

• Whether dream feeds help?

• And why supplements are rarely the solution?

Good parenting isn't about doing everything perfectly.

It's about having the right information.

Listen now to build a strong sleep foundation - without fear-based myths driving your decisions.
