Your child doesn’t “hate sleep,” they aren’t even “fighting sleep” - can we stop blaming sleep? 😅

Hating or fighting sleep is always about something else. It can be the big separation for your child, discomfort, a scheduling issue, hunger, or many other factors causing your child to resist this time - but it is NOT the sleep they are fighting 🤍

Has your child ever fought (or seemingly hated) sleep? Did you figure out the true cause?

Is your baby a light sleeper? Do they have short sleep cycles? This is NORMAL and healthy!

While as parents most of us would love for our babies to sleep longer and more deeply so we can get solid sleep, this really isn’t the safest sleep goal for our little ones.

Biologically babies are meant to wake frequently and stay in a lighter state of sleep. This actually keeps them safe and decreases the chances of SIDS.

Young babies have two sleep states: quiet and active. As they get a little older, often around the four month mark, they begin to have a third light sleep state as they move from being awake to asleep. Babies spend most of their time is active sleep, which is also when they are most likely to awaken. This lighter state of sleep allows babies to wake themselves when there is an issue.

Their lighter state of sleep and ability to wake easily is crucial if a baby is too cold, too hot, or not breathing. They may also wake for a number of other normal reasons too!

I know light sleepers with frequent wakes can be exhausting, I’m not denying that, but just know there’s nothing wrong with your baby or your parenting choices. Your baby is doing exactly what they need to protect themselves 💕

In a world where information is at our fingertips and advice is everywhere it is almost impossible not to second guess or doubt yourself when it comes to caring for your precious little person.

But remember, you were made for this, the instincts are within you - you may just have to listen extra carefully as you tune out the external noise.

If something feels good, it’s probably the right move. If something feels bad, maybe it’s not right for your family.

Do you know someone who could use this reminder? Let them know they’re doing an amazing job just by following their heart 🤍
