We all dread the day it happens—your toddler suddenly starts trying to climb out of the cot, and it feels like game over for sleep. Well, good news: it doesn’t have to be.

🎧 In episode 94 of Brand New Little People, Dr Fallon & Dr Laura (PhDs, Sleep Practitioners) share everything they wish they’d known before moving their own little ones from cot to bed—so you can handle this milestone with confidence.

We never recommend the 'Cry It Out' (CIO) approach in our sleep clinics - and for good reason.

In this episode, Dr Fallon & Dr Laura (PhDs, Sleep Practitioners) unpack what CIO means, and what alternatives align better with responsive, evidence-based care.

We also take a look at the damage that can be done when the term 'Cry It Out' is applied incorrectly and explore why we steer families toward more supportive sleep solutions.

Rigid, age-based wake windows are splashed across the internet, promising the solution to all your baby’s sleep difficulties. But do they actually work? Mostly, no.

🥱 The majority of age-based schedules aim for more sleep than is typical for your baby’s age.

📉 They also assume that all babies of the same age need the exact same thing – which is a bit like assuming that all babies of the same age are the same height and weight!

In this episode, Dr Fallon & Dr Laura (PhDs, Sleep Practitioners) unpack why following rigid age-based wake windows can do more harm to sleep than good.
