Weaning Respectfully With Zoe Ayre AKA The Respectful Mum

On this episode of The Sleep Show, Zoe Ayre AKA The Respectful Mum joins us to talk about weaning respectfully and share her weaning story. 

And it’s FULL of wonderful nuggets of wisdom!

Zoe is a children’s author, mum and respectful parenting advocate. She shares her respectful and honest parenting journey along with advice on Instagram as The Respectful Mum.  

She loves sharing her respectful parenting journey as a toddler mum and her account shares the honest highs and lows of parenthood!

Her book, ‘I Will Always Help You Sleep’ was born of a desire for parents and children to be able to see themselves in the pages of a children’s book, in a world where being responsive to our children at nighttime can sometimes feel a lonely path. The book is as much for parents as it is for children, and hopes to bring reassurance that it’s okay to support our little ones to sleep. It’s truly unique in the way it represents normal infant sleep, co-sleeping and post-partum reality. 

 During this episode we talk through together:

Why she’s an advocate of respectful parenting

What does respectful mean to her?

Is it possible to night wean respectfully?

Her experience of night weaning her 20 month old daughter 

Why being calm and confident is crucial when night weaning?

When is the best time to night wean?

Is it possible to night wean without tears?

Tips for when/if you’re ready to night wean 

And SO much more!

I really hope you enjoy listening to this episode as we had so much fun recording it together!
