Episode 118: Fixing False Starts
About this episode
In this episode, Dr Fallon and Dr Laura discuss the phenomenon of false starts in toddler and baby sleep and provide solutions to address it.
If you settle your baby or toddler at bedtime, only for them to wake up less than 2 hours later, then you’re familiar with ‘false starts.’ False starts happen when babies or toddlers don’t begin their nights with a long stretch of deep sleep – they may have this deep sleep later in the night, or not at all. In episode 118, Dr Fallon and Dr Laura (PhDs & Sleep Practitioners) unpack why false starts happen, and how you can fix them.
