17 episodes
Nobody is neutral about sleep training and everybody involved is exhausted. Laura Birek and Shanna Micko have tried several approaches across four kids, changed their minds more than once, and reported back either way.
Episode 166 is Laura sleep training her six month old and weaning him off night feeds. Episode 62 covers nap training using the Taking Cara Babies method. Episode 240 is night weaning a toddler with the hosts of The Milk Minute, and Episode 167 is pediatrician Dr. Mona Amin of PedsDocTalk on lowering the anxiety around sleep, weight percentiles and reflux. Episode 215 is Laura starting the whole thing over with a 17 month old, because sometimes it comes undone.
What worked for them, not a method being recommended to you. Your pediatrician knows your kid.
