Sleep Cues: The Everything Parenting Podcast

Why Is My Baby Waking Every Hour?

“The number one question we hear from parents is: Why is my baby waking every hour all night long? It’s the number one question we hear from parents — and one of the hardest parts of managing sleep. In this episode, we talk about why frequent night wakings are so common and share  somethings you can put in place to help your baby start sleeping longer stretches. If you’re exhausted and looking for answers, this episode is for you. The Happy Sleep Company’s Infant / Toddler Sleep Program is suited best for children who are 14 weeks to 3 years of age and still sleeping in a crib. Children at this age need healthy sleep for proper development, to boost their immune systems, and to help them take in the big, bright, ever-changing world around them. At this age and in this environment, amazing sleep habits can be established very quickly with loads of consistency and tons of love involved!  We will work closely with your family to develop a sleep plan that is right for your child, and help you help your little one to be sleeping through the night and taking proper naps within our two weeks together!
