Introducing Baby Bite-Size, your go-to fortnightly segment for quick, actionable insights into baby sleep and behaviour! Whether it’s answering your burning questions or tackling the most common sleep struggles, this series is all about making parenting a little easier, one bite-sized episode at a time.

In this first episode of this new series, we’re diving into early rising, why your baby is up before dawn and the key step most parents skip when trying to fix it. If you’ve tried everything and nothing seems to work, Jen will take you through a step you cannot overlook!

In this episode, I talked about:

• Why not to follow an early rise with an early nap
• How to gradually stretch wake windows (without meltdowns)
• Why boredom might be tricking you into thinking your baby’s tired
• What overstimulation and true overtiredness really look like
• How to hold space for your baby during these transitional stretches
• And how little wins every day can create big shifts over time

If you’ve been feeling stuck in the early-to-rise, early-to-bed cycle — this one’s for you. And if you know a parent who’s struggling with those pre-dawn wake-ups, please share this episode with them. It might be just the thing they need to feel a bit more clarity and a lot more empowered.
