272 Want Your Kids To Sleep? Allison Egidi Shares Amazingly Effective Advice!

Hey Friends~

Have you ever been so tired you'd try just about anything to get your child to sleep?

You're not alone!

My guest, pediatric sleep coach Allison Egidi, knows that feeling firsthand. She spent two years struggling with her own child's sleep before discovering there was an entire field of pediatric sleep support that most parents—and even most pediatricians—never hear about.

You'll also hear how simple language shifts with our toddlers can encourage sleep cooperation and help children approach bedtime with greater confidence.

Today we're talking about why sleep can feel so complicated, why there isn't one "right" way for every family, and what you can start doing tonight to help your child become a more confident sleeper.

Always cheering you on!
