20. Co-Sleeping vs Sleep Training: Why Nuance Matters

This topic gets people fired up: co-sleeping vs sleep training. Which is better? Which is “right”? In today’s episode, I dive into the real conversation around these parenting choices, sharing my personal experience and the bigger picture that often gets missed.

We explore:

• The problem with black and white thinking in motherhood
• Why guilt-based messaging can do more harm than good
• What happened when we transitioned from co-sleeping to a crib
• How to make the right decision for your family without shame

As always, there’s no one-size-fits-all in motherhood. This is a space for nuance, for sharing, and for reminding yourself that you’re doing your best.
