Is your baby really fighting sleep—or are they trying to tell you something?
In this episode of Doula Talk, Deb breaks down why bedtime battles, short naps, crying, rolling around, or that sudden burst of energy before bed may have less to do with a baby “refusing” sleep and more to do with timing, development, overstimulation, feeding, or changing sleep needs.
You’ll learn how to recognize the difference between an overtired and undertired baby, why small timing adjustments can sometimes make a surprisingly big difference, and how to create flexible daily rhythms without becoming trapped by a rigid schedule.
Because sometimes you don’t need a brand-new sleep method. You just need to understand what your baby is communicating.
In this episode:
Why babies appear to “fight” sleep
Overtired vs. undertired: what each can look like
How development and overstimulation affect sleep
The connection between daytime feeding and nighttime sleep
Why timing matters more than many parents realize
Flexible rhythms vs. rigid schedules
When it may be time for personalized support
Need help figuring out your baby’s sleep?

Sometimes the smallest adjustments create the biggest improvements—and you don’t have to figure out which adjustments to make alone.
