The minute your head hits the pillow your baby wakes again. In a state of desperation you open Instagram and there it is in big, bold font, with a picture of a peaceful, well rested mother. It reads: “ It’s normal for babies to wake in the night”. Ughhh. 😒 In today’s episode, Dr Fallon & Dr Laura (PhDs, Sleep Practitioners) unpack this very toxic statement, because parents deserve better.  ☕️ Love our work?  Buy us a coffee!   https://buymeacoffee.com/infant.sleep ❤️ Listen on Apple Podcasts  https://loom.ly/zui5kX8 ❤️ Listen on Spotify  https://loom.ly/ZuBk3N0 ❤️ Listen on Amazon Music  https://loom.ly/ZsS9sTQ 🎥 Watch this episode on YouTube  https://loom.ly/JhNkXPs ✅ Visit our clinic or join Sombelle for expert support with baby & toddler sleep & settling difficulties:  https://loom.ly/RZeC0NA ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/brand-new-little-people-6408414/episodes/episode-103-night-waking-is-normal-right/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/brand-new-little-people-6408414/episode-103-night-waking-is-normal-right.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
