How To Help Your Little One Prepare For Sleeping In Their Own Room - By Dr Angelique Millette Fourth Trimester: The First Months and Beyond | Parenting | Newborn Baby | Postpartum | Doula

    • Parenting

Dr. Angelique Millette is a Family Sleep Consultant, Parent Educator, and creator of The Millette Method™. We welcomed her back on our show for a third time because she is simply that amazing. Here's what we discuss:

How to prepare a baby for sleeping in their own room in a way that emphasizes safety and love for the child
When to start thinking about making the transition from room-sharing to the baby being in their own room (around 12-24 months is pretty typical)
What considerations to make for having siblings sleep in the same room together
How sleep solutions vary from child to child
How to identify and address nightmares and sleep terrors

We discuss the phases of preparation for helping a baby prepare for sleeping in their own room, including practical exercises you can do at home with your child right away. For example, you can use pretend play to demonstrate safety, as well as draw pictures and tell stories about the bedtime routine. Listen to Episode 47 of the Fourth Trimester Podcast for the details.
