The Aware Parenting Podcast Marion Rose, PhD.

In this episode, I share listeners' questions and my answers, for babies 3 months to 12 months old.

The questions include:

"Can babies get nightmares/night terrors as young as 3 months?"

"How do I support my baby when he gets the wriggles?"

"Should I be putting my 9 mth old In her own cot?"

"Do we have to co sleep?"

"Do you think the whole family should sleep together?"

"For day time naps do you recommend she continues sleeping on us or next to us for a long time? Unless in her pram or car we don’t have luck with her sleeping on her own."

"What are you meant to do throughout the entire night to encourage bub to sleep throughout the whole night?"

"Our 10 month old twins scream 40 mins after bedtime."

In this episode, I talk about the chronotypes of the early bird and the night owl.
I also explain how you can differentiate each of these from the effects of accumulated healing-feelings.
I also share about the possibility that both chronotypes and accumulated feelings can be happening, and what you can do it this is the case.

In this episode, I talk about the most common reason why babies and toddlers:
wake up with the slightest noise or movement;
wake up after one sleep cycle;
wake up crying;
are restless at night;
wake frequently;
appear to resist sleep;
take a long time to go to sleep.

If you're walking on eggshells to make sure they don't wake up, this might interest you.

I explain how quiet and stillness can indicate relaxation or mild dissociation, why that's important for sleep, and how you can differentiate between the two.

I share about needs-feelings and healing-feelings, and why being able to differentiate between these is also vital to understanding why it's really common for babies and children to be mildly dissociated before sleep.

I talk about why we don't use the terms 'soothing' and 'self-soothing' in Aware Parenting, and how this relates to understanding mild dissociation.

I also share why and how listening to healing-feelings before sleep leads to deep relaxation and restful sleep.

In this episode, I talk to Maru Rojas again. Maru is an Aware Parenting instructor in the UK and is originally from Mexico. She was a guest on the podcast on episode 139, also talking about sleep. If you haven't listened to that episode, I highly recommend listening to it after this one.

Maru shares her journey of sleep with her daughter and son, as she gradually increased the depth of her understanding and practice of Aware Parenting.

In particular, she talks about her daughter's night waking and moving all around the bed as a toddler.

She shares how she stopped breastfeeding at night, and about her increasing awareness of the surprising control pattern that was the lynchpin for more sleep.

She also shares more about the huge difference in sleep between her daughter and her son, with whom she started practicing Aware Parenting with at birth, alongside having much more understanding and experience with Aware Parenting by that time.

Maru is also a teacher of Elimination Communication and offers courses and 1:1 consultations in both EC and Aware Parenting.

You can find out more about her work and can contact her at: https://parenttogether.co.uk/ and https://www.instagram.com/_maru.rojas_/

In this episode, I share why Aware Parenting doesn't include the terms 'overtired', 'wake windows', and 'sleep regression', and what we perceive is going on when these terms are used.

Because Aware Parenting has such different ways of understanding what's going on with sleep, it doesn't use a lot of terminology commonly used in other parenting paradigms.

In this episode, I talk about the three ingredients for restful sleep.

The first is well-known, the second is less well-known in this culture, and the third is often not recognised at all.

I also explain the three different ways to bring about calmness before sleep, and why two of those only lead to superficial calmness, which often leads to babies and children waking up easily and frequently.

Then I share the third way, which leads to deep relaxation.

This is a part of Aware Parenting, and I talk about why that way that leads to relaxed, restful and restorative sleep.
