Real Talk on the 4-Month Sleep Regression (with Nina Clark)

This week on Sense by Meg Faure, we have a real and honest conversation about the notorious 4-month sleep regression. Meg is joined by regular guest Nina Clark, whose 16-week-old son, Josh, has gone from a great sleeper to waking multiple times a night. If you're in the thick of it, this episode is a lifeline.

Key discussion points include:

• The 4-Month Sleep Regression: Nina shares her experience with frequent night wakings and nap refusals. Meg offers a gentle, step-by-step guide to help your baby learn to self-soothe without "crying it out."
• Contact Naps & Sleep Habits: We have a real talk about the feed-to-sleep association and why 16 weeks is a pivotal time to gently guide your baby towards independent sleep to prevent long-term challenges.
• The Rolling Milestone: We celebrate Josh's new skill of rolling over and discuss why "floor time" is now more crucial than ever for long-term development.
• Baby Classes & Finding Your Village: Nina shares her experience with baby classes, and Meg discusses their true benefits, from finding your mom tribe to getting valuable one-on-one time with your baby.

This episode is packed with expert advice and the reassurance that you are not alone in this challenging, but temporary, phase.
