How you can help your baby get the sleep they need even when they're with a caregiver

Going back to work or leaving your baby with a nanny, daycare, grandma, or another caregiver can bring up a huge question for exhausted mamas: Will my baby still sleep well when I’m not there? In this episode of Get Your Baby Sleeping with Restful Rhythms, certified pediatric sleep consultant Valerie Holm explains how to help your baby get the sleep they need, even when they’re with other caregivers. If your baby currently relies on rocking, bouncing, feeding, or contact naps to fall asleep, it can feel stressful imagining someone else trying to handle nap time or bedtime. Many moms are told things like “Daycare will figure it out” or “Your baby will sleep when they’re tired enough.” But in reality, overtired babies often sleep worse, not better. The truth is: when babies learn the skill of falling asleep independently, sleep becomes flexible and portable. That means your baby can nap and sleep well with a nanny, daycare provider, dad, or grandparents, without everything falling apart. Inside this episode, Valerie walks you through:  • The biggest myths moms hear about baby sleep and daycare naps • Why overtiredness leads to short naps and frequent night wakings • How independent sleep skills help babies sleep better in different environments • The Supportive Independence System and how it helps babies sleep through the night • Practical strategies for helping your baby nap well with a caregiver, nanny, or daycare You’ll also learn about the Restful Rhythms Method, Valerie’s supportive approach to sleep training that focuses on connection, confidence, and long-term independent sleep skills. If you want: • 11–12 hours of uninterrupted night sleep • Longer crib naps instead of 30-minute cat naps • Calm, predictable bedtime routines • Confidence that your baby will sleep well with other caregivers • To stop surviving on coffee and start waking up rested again This episode will help you understand exactly how to build sleep foundations that work in real life, especially when you’re a working mama. ✨ If you’re ready for your baby to learn to sleep independently and peacefully, you can book a consultation call with Valerie HERE

How to help your baby sleep through the night before you go back to work

Going back to work soon, and secretly wondering how you’re supposed to function on broken sleep? If your maternity leave is ending and your baby is still waking up multiple times a night… this episode is for you. Because what you really want isn’t just “more sleep.” You want to walk into work feeling clear-headed instead of foggy.  You want predictable bedtimes instead of spending your entire evening rocking, feeding, and retrying transfers.  You want your baby waking up happy and well-rested — so daycare drop-offs feel calm instead of chaotic.  You want to focus in meetings without rereading the same email three times.  And you want to come home at the end of the day with something left in your tank to actually enjoy your baby… and your life. But somewhere along the way, you’ve probably been told: “It’s normal to be exhausted when you go back to work.”  “Just catch up on sleep over the weekend.” In this episode, I’m sharing the small mindset shift that helps you stop coping with sleep deprivation, and start solving it. You’ll learn: • Why being an exhausted working mama has been normalized (and why it doesn’t have to be your reality)  • The biggest belief keeping your baby from sleeping through the night before you return to work  • Why rigid schedules and “perfect” nap timing often make sleep feel impossible with daycare or caregivers  • What actually helps your baby carry independent sleep skills across environments  • How to build sleep that works in real life, even when you're not the one putting your baby down Ready to help your baby sleep through the night before you go back to work?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
