I'm Not Ovaryacting

Sleep is a tricky topic. And to put it frankly, I don't care what the sleep habits are in your house - granted I do encourage you to be safe. If your sleep schedule works for YOU, then that is truly all that matters. That said, there are a lot of false narratives out there about what it means to "sleep train" and that's what we're clearing up today. If you sleep train your baby, does it mean that you'll have to let them cry it out? Can you sleep train if you're a mama on the go? Taylor fills me in on all things sleep, and it was such an important conversation to have! I encourage you to find Taylor on Instagram @taylorwalterssleep where she posts all sorts of sleep fun facts!
