(This is Part 2 of a 3 part interview). This week we resume our interview with Catherine (Cat) Halek, an IBCLC and certified infant sleep coach.  Cat emphasizes the need for flexibility and the understanding of normal infant development when it comes to sleep training. She also shares the significance of establishing a bedtime routine and supporting circadian rhythms to promote healthy sleep habits for both infants and parents. She provides simple tips on establishing a solid sleep foundation, understanding sleep associations, and why these are where to start- before you tactile your nighttime sleep schedule.
