Comforters are an essential part of a sleep routine. We all have things we do before sleep that set us on the path to the land of nod, we know some of them are useful and some of them are not so much.

In this episode we'll explore what a comforter is and answer some of your most common questions including:

1 - Is a swaddle is comforter? 2 - How do I transition my baby out of a swaddle. 3 - How can I introduce a dummy/soother? 4 - How can I get rid of a dummy/soother? 5 - Is my baby just sucking on their hands for comfort?

It’s bedtime, everyone’s calm and settled and suddenly 40 minutes later your baby is fast, fast AWAKE!  In this podcast we’ll help you get to the bottom of this ready steady wake routine. 

We’ll cover:

1 - What is a False Start? 2 - Why do they happen? 3 - What can I do about them? 4 - Why are they more common at night? 5 - Do False Starts just happen to babies?
