Sleep Was Never Meant to Feel This Stressful

If you’re reading this while holding a baby, pacing the house, or wondering why something that should feel natural feels so hard — you’re not alone.

Baby sleep has become one of the most overwhelming parts of early parenthood. Somewhere along the way, it stopped being about understanding babies and started being about fixing them.

At Remedy, we want to gently shift that narrative.

Why Baby Sleep Feels So Hard Today

New parents are exposed to more sleep advice than ever before — routines, wake windows, regressions, schedules, training methods — often presented as rules rather than guidance.

The result?

  • Parents doubt their instincts

  • Babies are labelled as “bad sleepers”

  • Sleep becomes a source of stress instead of connection

But biologically, babies are not designed to sleep like adults. Frequent waking, short naps, and unpredictable patterns are not signs of failure — they are signs of development.

Understanding Comes Before Changing

Before trying to change your baby’s sleep, it’s important to understand it.

Babies sleep in cycles, just like adults, but their cycles are shorter and lighter. They wake often for feeding, comfort, and reassurance — especially in the early months. This isn’t something to correct; it’s something to respond to.

When parents understand why their baby wakes, fights naps, or struggles to settle, sleep stops feeling so personal. It stops feeling like something you’re doing wrong.

There Is No One “Right” Routine

One of the biggest misconceptions about baby sleep is that there is a perfect routine that works for every baby.

In reality, sleep routines should be flexible and responsive. Some babies thrive with structure early on, while others need more time and support before patterns naturally emerge.

A routine isn’t about control — it’s about predictability and safety.

Responding Is Not Creating Bad Habits

Responding to your baby’s needs does not spoil them, weaken sleep skills, or create lifelong dependencies.

In fact, consistent, responsive care helps babies feel safe — and safety is the foundation of healthy sleep.

Babies learn to sleep through support, not pressure.
