EP 28 // Why Your Baby Wakes 45 Minutes After Bedtime

If your baby falls asleep at bedtime… only to wake up crying 30, 45, or 90 minutes later, you’re not alone.

In this episode, we’re talking about false starts- one of the most common (and frustrating) sleep struggles between 5–18 months.

You’ll learn:

• What a false start actually is
• What’s happening in your baby’s body during that first sleep cycle
• The four most common causes
• Why cutting naps or keeping your baby up later often makes it worse
• Where to start if bedtime keeps falling apart

False starts are not a parenting failure. They’re usually a schedule alignment issue, and misalignment can be adjusted.

If bedtime has been confusing or discouraging, this episode will give you clarity and direction.

I pray this brings you rest, and remember…you matter too, mama!

If you want the exact order to fix false starts, with age-specific adjustments and clear schedule guidance, I created a practical guide to walk you through it.
