The Cry It Out Controversy: New Podcast
|
Dear parents, This morning we released a new podcast episode digging into the complex topic of cry it out and sleep training controversies with my cohost, pediatric sleep consultant Arielle Greenleaf. As both a pediatrician and parent myself, I understand this is an emotional issue impacting families. I think you’ll find the conversation very balanced and informative as Arielle and I unpacked the research around cry it out methods together. We also discuss the importance of tailoring your approach to your baby's needs and being willing to adjust if necessary. There are no one-size-fits all answers, but there are responsive, caring ways to handle sleep training while setting healthy boundaries. I hope you’ll have a listen and share with other parents as well! |
