Dr. Carole Keim welcomes internationally certified baby sleep consultant and founder of the Yawn Baby Sleep platform, Camille Jaramis, for an insightful conversation about baby sleep in the first two years of life. Together, they explore how newborn sleep differs from infant sleep, what really happens during the four-month sleep regression, and why developmental changes, like the Wonder Weeks, can temporarily disrupt even the best sleeper. Camille explains the difference between self-soothing and self-settling, and why flexibility and age-appropriate expectations are so important for both babies and parents.
Camille and Dr. Keim also explore the cultural pressures many families face around sleep schedules, maternity leave, and “sleep training,” offering reassurance that there is no one perfect way to help a baby sleep. Camille shares practical guidance on sleep environments, including light exposure, white versus pink noise, and safe sleep basics, along with insights into how her AI-powered sleep support tool, Yawn, helps parents personalize sleep plans based on their baby’s unique temperament and developmental stage. Most importantly, Dr. Keim and Camille remind parents to give themselves grace, because healthy sleep is a journey, and every family’s path looks a little different.
