After talking to thousands of families, I can say with 100% certainty: staying in the room does not guarantee less crying.

I know that feels backwards. You stay close because you want to protect your baby’s feelings. You want them to feel safe…and that instinct is good.

But here’s why it doesn’t always work the way you’d expect:

Not all babies need you in the room every second to feel safe. Other things that foster that feeling are:

✅ A calm, confident parent

✅ Consistent and predictable responses

✅ Clear boundaries

✅ Loving support through big feelings

Now here’s the red flag I see every single day:

❌ A parent stays in the room, but their own anxiety is running the show. Every whimper gets a rescue. Every pause gets interrupted. Your baby never gets the chance to settle, because YOU never settle first.

That anxiety gets picked up by your baby. And instead of shorter, calmer nights, you end up with longer, harder ones.

Here’s what actually helps:

1️⃣ Calm confidence:
Your baby feels your energy before they respond to your actions.

2️⃣ Clear boundaries
A consistent response, every time, builds trust faster than constant hovering.

3️⃣ Support without rescue
You can comfort your baby without undoing the progress they’re making.

4️⃣ A plan you can actually follow
Confidence comes from knowing your next step, not guessing in the moment.

When you get this right, bedtime stops feeling like a battle.

Your baby settles faster, wakes less, and you both get your sleep back.

Your baby took short naps all day and now you’re wondering how to handle bedtime…

Do you squeeze in one more cat nap to hold them over to bedtime?

Often times I see this MAJORLY backfire on families because it ends up meaning:

❌ Bedtime is too late
❌ Sleep pressure for the actual bedtime gets lower (aka more protest and crying)
❌ Too much day sleep so they wake early the next day

That’s why I would rather my clients opt for an early bedtime instead! Even as early as 6-7pm.

It keeps bedtime before 8pm, keeps bedtime sleep pressure high so they go down easily, and allows them to go to sleep BEFORE cortisol has started to rise meaning they’re LESS likely to wake early in the morning.

Side bar: In case you didn’t know, cortisol is a key sleep hormone that helps our bodies wake up in the morning, your baby included.

This is a key piece to what I teach inside Crib Confidence Academy…a clear framework for how to handle your daytime schedule when life doesn’t follow that perfect sample sleep schedule.

You don’t need more samples to try to figure out. You need a clear framework on how to approach sleep that allows you to respond flexibly to whatever comes up…short naps, mid-day doctors appointments, school pickup, etc.

Q and A time! What questions do you still have about this?

I felt like I was broken.

I was reading all of these accounts that were normalizing sleep deprivation for years. Demonizing sleep training. Telling me to just sleep when baby sleeps.

But how do you do that when you’re back to work at 8 weeks postpartum, back to 40 hour weeks by 12 weeks?

I was trying to squeeze myself into someone else’s picture of a “good” mom when it was so misaligned with my life and my values.

I hated cosleeping. I was REALLY struggling with the sleep deprivation. I thought I was losing my mind, and honestly I think I was at the time.

Until one day, I hit my breaking point and decided to block the mean girl motherhood accounts and do what felt best to my family.

And what happened next, those accounts could have never seen coming.

My daughter THRIVED with this new version of me.

I was happy. I finally felt bonded to my baby. And while the work-family balance was hard, it didn’t feel like it was draining the life out of me.

I had found a balance.

Sleep training had saved my life. Literally.

Working on sleep early isn’t about prioritizing your needs over your baby’s. It’s about creating a life that you BOTH can thrive in.

After speaking to thousands of families, coaching hundreds through sleep training, and raising my own daughter, I can say with 100% certainty that a short bedtime IS a problem.

Here’s why:

Sleep is a big separation for babies, toddlers, and beyond. Bedtime battles are your child’s way of communicating that they aren’t ready for that separation.

That doesn’t mean that we support them completely to sleep so that they wake up alone and separated from you anyways. Ultimately, that doesn’t give them long-term confidence.

However, it also doesn’t mean that you just say “see ya” and hope they settle quickly on their own.

Now here’s the red flag I see every single day: short bedtime routines.

❌ Bath, feed, sleep is a simple checklist with minimal focus on connection and nervous system regulation.

And there lies the problem.

There are 4 key components to a high-quality, effective bedtime routine:

1️⃣ Connection-based activities: brushing your teeth together (or gums if no teeth yet), reading books, massage, singing songs, etc.

2️⃣ Nervous system regulation: dim lighting, soothing sounds, massage and squeezes to provide deep pressure input, rocking to provide that input for babies seeking movement.

3️⃣ Separate feeding: Start the routine with the feed so that they can actually enjoy the rest of the routine without being hungry or fussy waiting for it.

4️⃣ Start early: if your baby is too tired to get through the routine, that’s a clear sign you need to start earlier, not cut these activities out.

When you start these early, no matter how young your baby is…by the time they “wake up” to the world, this will be so second nature to their brain that they will easily transfer into their own sleep space.

I created a simple bedtime audit cheat sheet to make sure your baby’s routine is hitting all the key components and bedtime goes as smooth as possible.

The exact approach:

Information isn’t the problem. It’s out there and it’s free.

The trick is knowing what to actually do with all of that information, so let’s break down the 3 layers to supporting your baby to sleep 11-12 hours every single night.

1️⃣ FOUNDATIONS

This is what gets your baby’s body actually ready for sleep.

The environment, routines, sleep pressure, feeding, your own mindset.

This is the layer that you build before you even THINK about laying your baby down in their crib.

2️⃣ ASSOCIATIONS

This is the HOW of getting to sleep.

Right now, your baby needs you in some way to fall asleep - rocking, feeding, replacing the pacifier, cosleeping.

Here you trade those “dependent” sleep associations for “independent” ones that gives your baby the tools to quickly get back to sleep when connecting sleep cycles.

No crying out necessary.

3️⃣ THE RESPONSE

Now that the foundation is solid, your baby has every reason to be sleeping, and they have the tools to do it, it’s time to change your response.

Before sleep training, your baby wakes and you support them back to sleep by actually putting them back to sleep.

Here we shift that responsibility from doing the work to supporting their learning.

You’re never ignoring hunger or genuine needs, emotional needs included.

You’re just supporting your baby with the end in mind…sleeping 11-12 hours through the night with no more than one feed.

I created a 19-page document fully breaking down these 3 layers in depth.

Shutting your baby’s door and not returning until morning despite their cries? Sure absolutely.

“Trying” a method without any prep work? Not gonna work.

Throwing a dart at the wall and changing the response night-to-night? That’ll probably feel ick too.

But here’s the sleep training narrative that is often left out: it’s not just about a night response.

In fact, if you are doing sleep training “right”, you are first optimizing everything that contributes to high quality sleep before every laying your baby down awake in their crib.

Here’s what that looks like:

✨ BALANCING SLEEP HORMONES

Our sleep patterns are all run by our inner sleep clock, aka Circadian Rhythm. When you balance this so that their sleep hormone peaks at bedtime when you’re changing what they’re used to, they simply won’t have the endurance to cry for hours on end and wake for long stretches throughout the night.

✨ CREATING CONNECTION-BASED ROUTINES

A bedtime routine is important, but without doing it strategically it’s just a routine that still ignores the things that contribute to high quality sleep.

Of course make sure basic needs are met, like hygeine and feeding, but the main focus should be on filling their emotional cup before a long stretch of separation and calming their nervous system.

Yes, focus on connection. Funny how this isn’t mentioned when people say “sleep training is cruel.”

✨ LEAD CONFIDENTLY

Nervous energy coregulates your baby to be nervous.

Anxious energy coregulates your baby to be anxious.

I have parents often tell me that they avoid sleep training because their baby has separation anxiety. When they ask me what to do about it, here’s what I say:

Stop focusing on how to change THEM and focus on changing yourself. A confident parent doing check ins or cribside soothing brings a WAY different energy than a parent whose anxious and bothered by their baby’s feelings.

Support their emotions, hold space for them, and assure them that despite those feelings, they still are safe.
