  • 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

  • Great sleep advice!

    Such a great podcast that’s really helped me with my baby’s sleep. Would love to hear more about sleep for 10 to 12 month olds as I feel likes there’s not a lot of info out there for this age. Keep it up though ladies!!

    This is the best podcast I have found on baby sleep so far. I have listened to every episode, some of them twice and sent it to numerous friends in the nap trapped trenches :) The advice is helpful, solid, experienced and kind. Thank you for helping me with sleep training my babe!

  • 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: 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.
Sleep Detectives: False starts, night weaning, nap caps and dummies
Q: Is a dummy a bad habit for resettling, or can it be useful for self-settling?
A dummy is not inherently a bad habit; it can be a helpful tool to aid sleep, and if needed, can be reduced later as the child learns to link sleep cycles without it.
Sleep Detectives: False starts, night weaning, nap caps and dummies
Q: At six months old, how do we handle overnight feeds as we begin weaning?
Start with four hourly feeds overnight and redistribute calories into the daytime; resettle using sleep training during night wake-ups and gradually push the night feeds later as daytime calories increase.
