EP 50 // How to Sleep Train When Your Baby Has Separation Anxiety

Is your baby suddenly crying the second you leave the room, fighting bedtime, or waking throughout the night just to make sure you’re still there?

Separation anxiety can completely disrupt sleep, even if your baby was previously sleeping well. But it doesn’t mean you have to stop sleep training or choose between supporting your baby emotionally and getting the rest your family needs.

In this episode, I’m sharing how to sleep train when your baby is experiencing separation anxiety. We’ll talk about how to tell if separation anxiety is really causing the sleep struggles, ways to strengthen connection during the day, how to create a reassuring bedtime routine, and which responsive sleep training methods may work best for your baby’s temperament.

You’ll also learn how to handle middle-of-the-night wakings without accidentally creating new sleep habits you don’t want to continue.

You can comfort your baby, protect your attachment, and still hold loving, consistent sleep boundaries. Responsive does not have to mean boundary-less.
