As a board-certified pediatrician in the U.S., the recommendations are usually independent sleep for a baby. But I know firsthand that many families do co-sleep and, at some point, want to transition their baby out of co-sleeping. I welcome Ashley Olson, a certified pediatric sleep consultant and founder of @heavensentsleep.

We discuss: 

The biggest mistake parents make when going from co-sleeping to independent sleep 

What “habit-stacking” is and how to implement 

What parents may struggle with when transitioning to an independent sleep space and how to approach
