  • Life changing

    I had already tried everything. Even according to Sally and Bec on their episode “things we’d tell you if we weren’t afraid to hurt your feelings”, I had even tried sleep training. But I lost confidence, travel happened, teething happened and we lost any progress that we’d made. Fast forward 2 months and I was at breaking point. Waking every 40-90 mins while co-sleeping. Crying for 2-3 hours some nights.

    Then I listened to this podcast. It took a few weeks (only because I was taking my time to... more

  • A must listen for all ages

    I can’t recommend Bec and Sally enough. I used Bec’s two week package last year and she saved us! Now this podcast is a perfect reminder of all the things we need to do, such as the small tweaks to combat early rising. This is a must subscribe for parents with kids of all ages!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sleep Detectives: Naps, Feeds & Early Rising | Ep 97
Q: Sam asked about anchoring feeds and lengthening intervals for a five-month-old who wakes frequently overnight and struggles with returning to the cot after night feeds.
They recommend spacing feeds to four-hour intervals if possible, using a four-hour wake window, consolidating feeds rather than dropping them, and setting a transitional schedule around the 6:30–7:00 p.m. bedtime to build towards longer overnight stretches. Emphasis is placed on keeping feeds balanced, ensuring complete daytime feeds, and teaching self-settling where feasible while maintaining a consistent plan.
Sleep Detectives: Naps, Feeds & Early Rising | Ep 97
Q: Lauren DMed us and said my six-month-old often takes 40-minute naps for the first and second naps, then has a long nap for the third one, and becomes hysterical when waking. Is there a fix?
The hosts explain that a very long third nap can reduce daytime sleep pressure and destabilize the night, so they suggest revisiting wake windows between nap one and nap two, ensuring adequate feeding beforehand (tanking up around 11:30), and considering shortening the third nap or restructuring the afternoon to maintain consistent daytime sleep pressure and smoother nights.
Sleep Detectives: Early Rising, Night Weaning & Toddler Bedtime
Q: If I follow your night wean plan, how quick can I get a full night's sleep? Twelve months old, 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. feeds.
The answer emphasizes assessing daytime structure and bedtime routines first, then gradually reshaping night wakes with a modified Ferber-style approach or a cautious night-weaning plan that avoids returning feeds after a certain anchor time, while considering feeding needs, calories, and overall daily intake. Progress is individualized, and the timeline can vary; many families notice meaningful changes within days to weeks as schedules tighten and feeds are reallocated.
Sleep Detectives: Jet lag, night feeds and naps
Q: Should I stay in the room while my baby self-sets, or is that going to cause problems later on?
Staying in the room can work beautifully for some families, and not for others; there's no universal rule—continue if it's working, and consider a gradual removal strategy later on if needed to promote independent sleep.
Sleep Detectives: Jet lag, night feeds and naps
Q: How do I prepare my 11-month-old for an overseas trip that's two hours behind Melbourne time?
Avoid changing time zones in the days before travel; focus on maintaining home-style routines during travel and use the travel day to keep as much consistency as possible, then implement the early rise protocol to gradually shift wake times and re-anchor naps once you settle in.
