👉Anyone see improvement in baby's sleep, think

👉Anyone see improvement in baby's sleep, think that this is your new suddenly you are woken up by that sweet bundle ? 😪⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉One of the things I realized about baby sleep, and this applies to life in general is that we think that once something improved it will always keep improving, in a nice linear fashion as illustrated above ☝️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉In reality, when we are going through an experience, it has many dimensions, takes turns and twirls until we eventually may arrive at our destination. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉Here is what you can do to make it feel a little better: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ accept that baby sleep is not linear. It will ebb and flow...improve then (pro)regress but overall - it will get better⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ learn what's normal so you can set REALISTIC expectations ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅Identify the cause of the disruption- illness? teething? learning a mind blowing new skill? when we know what's going on, it's easier to approach it with empathy, love and kindness⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ ask yourself if you are seeing improvement over all - improvement can be in any of these areas: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️length of sleep stretches at night⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️lengthening one or more naps⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️Feeling your baby's sleep is more predictable⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️Getting good at taking time and giving yourself permission to rest after wild nights ⠀⠀

👀you see me going on about having realistic expectations for your baby's sleep & accepting + understanding that there will be disruptions.
❌However, I am NOT inviting you to continue suffering disrupted sleep for as long as it takes for it to pass on its own💥wondering, but Valerie I follow you because crying it out/sleep training is not my thing.
👉The approach to sleep that I use combines my social work background and the Baby Led Sleep approach - it does not entail the use of crying it out of any kind, color or name.
Here is how my approach works:
1️⃣ Set up a sleep arrangement that aligns with your values and maximizes your baby's AND your sleep
2️⃣ Get to the ROOT cause including rule out underlying health conditions which may be causing your baby's disrupted sleep
3️⃣ Helping you set realistic expectations through education about normal infant sleep, sleep disruptors, and your unique baby's and family's needs, so that you CAN set realistic expectations for your specific baby, lifestyle and values
5️⃣ Giving you the knowledge, skills and strategies to resolve any sleep issues as they will inevitably come up (unlike sleep training programs - we recognize the fact that your baby and family changes as you grow - and so do the challenges and needed solutions!)
💥Choosing to support your baby's sleep in this way is an investment. An investment in your baby, in yourself, in your family, in the quality of your family's relationships. It is an investment in your family's future.

💥👉If caregiver is feeling alarmed, baby gets the signal that it’s not safe to go to sleep.👈💥 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👍What helped me in this situation is first of all realizing and acknowledging this is happening to me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉some signs are: dreading bedtime, bedtime taking a long time, one or both of us crying👈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉Next, I practiced some mindfulness
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅focusing on the moment (🤔 would you really rather do the laundry than cuddle your sweet pea?)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ focusing on my baby’s scent, his facial features or tiny fingers, the feeling of his skin against mine, the sound outside my windows, the humming of the fan in the room.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☝️helped me relax and stay in the present moment, which resulted in a smoother and more enjoyable bedtime, and ultimately 💤
