My guest today is Rebecca Michi, a children's sleep consultant and mother of two daughters. In her work with families over the years, Rebecca found that sleep issues were a common problem. This realization led her to specialize on the subject and offer coaching help to many parents. I'm thrilled to get her insights into this issue—and( let's be truthful),haven't we all had some pull-our-hair-out moments? Whether you're a brand new parent or the parent of teens, Rebecca has great tips to share. Join us! What you'll hear in this episode: Temperaments and sleep patterns are unique to each person. Rebecca's average client is 8 months old! Most children need help falling asleep and STAYING asleep. Her philosophy? Support parents in their parenting style Unique family dynamics Sleep: Why it's a very basic need Sleeping “through the night” is usually defined as 5 consecutive hours AFTER midnight. “Good sleeper” or “bad sleeper” At bedtime, focus on relaxation and physically slowing down. Other bedtime routines can be singing songs, reading books, and quiet play. Negotiables and non-negotiables about bedtime Giving children SOME choices gives them healthy empowerment. Teens' sleep patterns change (but they STILL need 8-9 hours!) Limit evening electronics and bright lights (use incandescent bulbs) Rebecca shares the guidelines for number of sleep hours needed, from ages 0-3 months to 13 years. It's normal to wake 2-6 times each night. The goal for your child? The ability to get themselves back to sleep when waking Don't make sleep or the bedroom a means of punishment!

Cry it out and controlled crying are commonly recommended for addressing sleep problems. There are alternative sleep training methods. Mindell and colleagues (2006) reviewed research on 5 approaches (including cry it out and controlled crying). They concluded that each approach was much more effective than no intervention at reducing bedtime problems and night wakings. In summary, any approach that improves sleep for babies and mothers has benefits for the family. I would recommend prevention education for babies under 6 months old. For babies and toddlers 6 months and up I would try positive routines before scheduled awakenings, controlled crying, or cry it out. The review found all methods to be beneficial. Here are quick links to the 5 methods reviewed: 1. Prevention education 2. Positive Routines/ Faded Bedtime 3. Scheduled Awakenings 4 & 5. Cry it out and controlled crying If none of these sound quite right for you, or you just want more options check out: The Sensible Sleep Solution by Sarah Blunden The Possums Sleep Intervention from Possums Online The Dream Baby Guide by Sheyne Rowley The Sleep Options Wizard for 0-5 Year Olds for the entire range of suggestions tailored to your child Sleep training approach 1: Prevention education Prevention education involves teaching parents sleep strategies. The following advice was provided in five large evaluation studies. Advice common to all studies is stated first. Advice unique to a single study is stated last. Settling methods Lie baby in the cot sleepy but awake. If baby won't settle, try again after one of these (Give each action 10 minutes to work before trying another; James‐Roberts &Gillham, 2001): Check nappy. Check and adjust temperature. Try burping. Stroke and talk softly. Cuddle if necessary. Importance of routine. "Dream feed" between 10pm and midnight*. Bath at the same time each day. Maximise day and night differences (noise, light, activity levels). Respond to physical needs at night, but keep lights dim and avoid playing and socialising. If weight gain is sufficient at 3 weeks of age, stretch intervals between night feeds by using alternative settling methods*. Respond to crying, not fretting. Babies often fret before falling back to sleep. Don't allow lengthy daytime sleep. Change the nappy every night feed if 3 or 4 hours apart, or as required for night feeds less than 3 or 4 hours apart. *Steps marked with an * were recommended, but were not followed by parents. They may still be effective, but cannot explain the observed results. Does this advice work? Yes. The studies reviewed found that babies of parents given advice like this: Were more likely to sleep for 5+ continuous hours at night at 6-9 weeks (Pinilla & Birch, 1993; Wolfson, Lacks, & Futterman, 1992) and 12 weeks of age (2.5 times more likely than a control group; James‐Roberts & Gillham, 2001). Woke and fed less frequently at night at 6-9 weeks of age (but still consumed the same amount of milk per 24 hour period as babies in a control group; Pinilla & Birch, 1993; Wolfson et al., 1992). Slept for longer at night (total sleep compared to a control group; Pinilla & Birch, 1993). Had fewer night wakings, and woke on fewer nights at 9 months of age (than babies in a control group; Adair, Zuckerman, Bauchner, Philipp, & Levenson, 1992; Kerr, Jowett, & Smith, 1996). Had fewer difficulties settling to sleep at 9 months of age (than babies in a control group; Adair et al., 1992; Kerr et al., 1996). Philosophy This advice attempts to set up 'good' habits early. 'Good' is based on largely Western ideals of independence and pragmatic preferences for feeding more during the day than the night. Whether this is 'good' advice depends on the parents ideals and family situation. The No Cry Sleep Solution by Elizabeth Pantley provides a lot of this advice in d...

Show Notes: Sleep Associations In this episode I examine sleep associations in the context of classical conditioning. I argue that the terms “dysfunctional associations", "inappropriate associations", "negative associations", and "bad sleep habits” are unhelpful and inaccurate. Based on classical conditioning theory I argue why a concerted effort to break these associations may not be helpful or successful. The focus should be on building new associations, not breaking old ones. I then use the theory to suggest how we could create new sleep associations. Here are the topics I cover: Introduction to classical conditioning Why I dislike the terms dysfunctional, inappropriate, negative, or bad associations How classical conditioning can help in the formation of new associations Step by step suggestions for creating new associations to replace old ones Through this podcast you will learn: The very basics of classical conditioning and how this may apply to sleep.Thethreemainelementsare shown in the table below. The steps are as follows:  1. The CS precedes the US more often than not. 2. The CS begins to produce the CR, which is very similar to the UR.  Picture Title Description Pavlov’s example Sleep example Conditioned Stimulus (CS) Something that causes a reaction only after learning Bell Music Softicons Unconditioned Stimulus (US) Something that causes an unlearned reaction Food Comfortable, sleepy feeling PSD Graphics Un/Conditioned Response (UR/CR) The biological (UR) or learned (CR) reaction Salivate Sleep Sleep associations are a little more complex than food associations. The unconditioned stimulus (the comfortable, sleepy feeling) comes on gradually and consists of multiple parts: Comfort (Physical and Security) Sleepy (Body clock and Fatigue) For more information on classical conditioning, the Wikipedia entry provides good information 3 reasons why I disagree with the terms “Negative associations”, “Bad sleep habits”, “dysfunctional associations”, and “Inappropriate sleep associations”: On a personal level. Breastfeeding and hugging are extremely positive experiences for me.  They assume that feeding/rocking is a CS, but it may be better considered an US (1) Comfort - Need for contact is biological (2) Sleepy - Breast milk contains nucleotides that facilitate sleep, especially at night (3) Pavlov’s dog still salivated to food, with, or without the bell. Babies can sleep without the CS, but you need to provide the US. Whittingham and Douglas 2014 (1) argue that it is dangerous to try to break the association between feeding/rocking and sleep, because you risk breaking the association between sleepy and sleep. Feeding, hugging, or rocking to sleep aren't an inherent problem - but they may become unsustainable for you. At this point focus on setting up new associations, rather than breaking old ones. To set up new associations, according to classical conditioning: Something (like music) needs to immediately precede something else (like feeling sleepy) more often than not to become associated The association needs to be formed and maintained It doesn’t matter how good the CS is, if you remove the US too early, it may not work. Summary – Action points Continue your usual settling routine, but introduce a CS Use CS just as eyes begin to droop at each sleep time Work on familiarising baby with US substitutes such as cot, wrap Every now and again, use your CS as you pat your baby in their cot. If it isn’t working, don’t do it too often, may be once a day, so you can retain the association between your cues and sleep at other sleep times.
