40) The impact of sleep on both parents and babies with Dr. Naomi and Camille

"Sleep when the baby sleeps" – it's a phrase we’ve all heard, but let’s be real: for most new parents, it’s simply not a reality. Research shows that parents lose significant sleep each night, with disruptions lasting until their child is six years old. Sleep deprivation, often referred to as a form of torture, is an unavoidable challenge for nearly all parents. But what happens when the solution we’re told to follow—sleep training—doesn’t feel right for us?

In this episode, Dr. Naomi⁠ and Camille fromLittle baby go to sleep⁠ join Eva and Maren to discuss the real impact of sleep deprivation on parents. They explore the common pressure to sleep train, the differences in parenting styles, and the reality of navigating those sleepless nights. This conversation is about taking a holistic look at the situation and remembering that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.

Key Takeaways:

  • The long-term effects of sleep deprivation on new parents.

  • The realities of sleep training and why it might not be for everyone.

  • How to approach sleep in a way that feels right for you, your baby, and your family.

  • Tips and insights from experts on managing sleep struggles without resorting to sleep training.


This conversation is to highlight, like in DAMChats episode 10 The Bedtime Bond how everyone has their own approach and not to feel like you should be doing something you may feel is mainstream if you are not comfortable with it.
