Season 3, Episode 4: Sleep training feels like one of the most guilt-filled, opinion-loaded parts of parenting, especially in South Asian families where “just feed them more” is everyone’s go-to solution. Between night feeds, cultural pushback, and babies who suddenly learn to stand, it’s no wonder moms feel like they’re failing.

In this episode, we’re joined by Rinie Gupta (@riniegupta), pediatric sleep consultant and mom, to talk all things baby sleep without the shame, stress, or cultural guilt trips.

We cover:
• Karen and Purvi’s raw, emotional sleep training stories
• The most common cultural myths about baby sleep (and why they’re wrong)
• How to handle pushback from grandparents and in-laws
• Why regressions happen, and how to survive them without starting from scratch
• Crib escapes, nap strikes, and other curveballs you can actually plan for
• The mindset shift that makes sleep training less stressful for everyone

If your baby isn’t sleeping, you’re not failing. You’re just frigging exhausted, and you’re not alone.
