This week, on the Kids Sleep Show, I am diving into something that can actually unknowingly start off a future need to sleep train and that is expert sleep consultant advice to place the baby down “drowsy but awake.” There are times when you should do it, but a very specific age where I would not suggest doing it, one, because it won’t work and two, because it then becomes confusing to you on why baby still wakes after 45 minutes all night. So, join me for this week’s episode and get help taking care of this drowsy but awake situation you might have going on at home.
