Mama Matters Too / Sleep Training, Postpartum, Overstimulated, Christian Mom, Baby Sleep Schedule

Bedtime with toddlers can feel like a hostage negotiation: 47 requests for water, endless “one more story!” pleas, and a mama who is completely touched out and frustrated by 8:30 pm. In this episode, I’m breaking down why bedtime is so hard for toddlers (it’s not just “defiance”) and walking you through 3 gentle, Christ centered boundaries that make nights more peaceful again. You’ll learn how to build a simple, predictable routine, how to  front load connection so your child isn’t desperate for attention at lights out, and how to hold clear, kind limits when the stalling starts-without yelling, shaming, or drowning in mom guilt.   Newborn guide: https://app.paperbell.com/checkout/packages/183571 Use code "PODCAST" to save!
