It seems like every mum gets the memo: To be a “good mum,” you need to rock your baby for hours, sacrifice yourself completely, and be perpetually exhausted, right?
But here’s the reality: being exhausted isn’t a badge of honor.
While it’s natural to want to put your baby’s needs first, constantly running on empty isn’t sustainable. Your well-being matters, too—and it’s not selfish to take care of yourself alongside caring for your baby.
At Lullababy SOS, I don’t recommend controlled crying.
I also don’t suggest leaving your baby to cry it out or ignoring their needs. But what I do teach is how to support your baby in learning how to sleep confidently and independently.
This doesn’t mean swooping in to rescue them every time they stir, but instead, guiding them gently towards developing their own sleep skills.
Why You Don’t Need to Sacrifice Yourself
Many parents feel like they have to be the 24/7 problem-solvers, especially when it comes to sleep. While it’s important to be present and connected, doing everything for your baby, especially in the sleep department, can lead to exhaustion.
What if, instead of fixing every little wake-up, you could teach your baby the art of falling and staying asleep?
At Lullababy SOS, my programs help parents understand how they can be loving, encouraging, and connected while also supporting their baby’s sleep development.
You’re not abandoning your baby by teaching them to settle; you’re helping them build a life-long skill that benefits both their well-being and yours.
Supporting Your Baby vs. Sleep Training
There’s a huge difference between supporting your baby’s sleep and traditional “sleep training.”
The latter often conjures up images of crying babies left alone, but what I teach is quite the opposite.
Together, we work on creating familiarity and consistency within your baby’s routine. This helps them feel secure, comforted, and eventually, confident enough to fall asleep on their own—without constant rocking or intervention.
By focusing on routine, emotional regulation, and secure attachment, we ensure that both you and your baby thrive.
And let’s be real—your baby learning to sleep better means you get to sleep better too.
The Importance of Getting the Right Support
When you’re sleep-deprived and overwhelmed, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing something.
Maybe you’ve tried every technique, read every article, but you’re still stuck rocking your baby to sleep for hours each night.
It’s not that you’re doing something wrong—it’s that you might not have the right kind of support.
That’s where we come in.
At Lullababy SOS, I’ve spent over 20 years supporting thousands of families, and I know that every baby is different. The key is a personalized, holistic approach that builds confidence—not just in your baby’s ability to sleep, but in your ability as a parent.
With the right guidance, you can enjoy your parenting journey, not just survive it.
