What exactly IS separation anxiety and how does it impact sleep and bedtime for little ones? I speak to clinical psychologist Dr MDC about what it means throughout infancy and childhood, how we can handle it and why separation is actually a good thing for parent and child. If bedtime has become a battle, or you are anxious about how childcare may impact your family, this episode covers some strategies to boost connectedness and how to put some boundaries in place to help you feel less touched-out and overwhelmed by the demands of parenthood. We also discuss the benefits of crying and separating within a responsive, nurturing adult and with age appropriate boundaries.

More from Sleep like a baby?
Do you have an orchid or a dandelion? How do you know if your baby is highly sensitive? And how can you parent with your own specific sensory needs?
The advice about over-tiredness is always changing when it comes to babies... is it a thing? is it the end of the world? is there any science involved in this whole concept that a person can be TOO tired?
Nobody talks about how lonely it can be if you're the only one with a child who continues to be wakeful when everyone else around you seems to be getting more sleep. And then you might feel the pressure to sleep train if you ever talk about how tired you are. Perhaps your partner or someone else close to you is trying to get you to make changes in a way that doesn't feel right for you right now. This is an episode for anyone stuck in a comparison trap or a cycle of disagreement over whether to sleep train or not.
Do you have to sleep train in order for this regression to end? Why is your baby suddenly more wakeful? Why is there so much fearmongering out there about this stage? In this episode I talk about the sleep science at this age as well as all the other reasons why it can be a tough patch. If you want to know what you can do to improve the situation (without sleep training) and what red flags to look out for, I've got you.
Yes that's right, more Lucy! We had so much to say about second babies that we had to make it into a 2-parter.What if you can't imagine loving. your new baby as much as your first? How does the bond work? How do you do bedtime with two children (and one parent?) Are nap times always a disaster if your older child doesn't understand the concept of 'quiet! the baby is sleeping...'?
