Sleep training, shaming and seeing through the baby BS: with Rachael from HeySleepyBaby

Sleep training, shaming and seeing through the baby BS: with Rachael from HeySleepyBaby

Sleep like a baby? · 2022-10-04

We really don't hold back in this week's episode!

Is it ok to live sleep train a 4 month old baby on Instagram?

Do paediatricians have the right to tell new parents they should leave their baby to cry it out?

Are we shaming other mothers by saying controlled crying isn't for us?

Rachael runs HeySleepyBaby - the largest biologically-normal infant sleep account on Instagram - and as a result, she receives a lot of DMs from people who think differently to her.

So I knew she'd be the perfect person to dissect the baby sleep industry with. These are really important conversations, especially as the internet (especially social media) is now such a huge part of parenting culture.

For more about Rachael, head to heysleepybaby.com and don't miss her new baby sleep course that launches this week.
