Are you unknowingly sabotaging your baby’s sleep with outdated advice?

You’re not alone if you’ve tried keeping your baby up late or giving them a bigger bottle before bed, thinking it’ll lead to a better night’s sleep. Sound familiar? These are just a few of the most common baby sleep myths that still get passed around—and they’re doing more harm than good.

Here’s the truth: most of these well-meaning tips are rooted in old-school thinking that simply doesn’t hold up anymore. And in this episode, we’re busting those myths wide open. I'm not just telling you what's wrong—I’m giving you the pediatric sleep education you need to finally understand your baby’s sleep and feel confident navigating it.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL FIND OUT:

• Why keeping your baby up later won’t lead to a later wake-up—and might actually backfire.
• What really drives better nighttime sleep (hint: it’s not just a “full belly”).
• When dream feeds help…and when they’re just delaying progress.
• The truth about regressions and why they’re not as inevitable as you’ve been told.

If you’ve ever been told “they’ll sleep when they’re tired” or “just add cereal to the bottle,” this episode is your permission to hit delete on all that outdated advice. Let’s get you back in the driver’s seat with confidence, calm, and sleep strategies that actually work.
