Wired and Tired: How the Nervous System Shapes Infant Sleep
From Functional Fourth Trimester · 00:18:09
Show by Melissa O'Neal OTR/L
In this first episode of our two-part sleep series, we explore the powerful connection between an infant’s nervous system and sleep. We’re joined by occupational therapist and mom Kaili Ets, creator of the Rooted in Regulation Map, a framework that helps parents understand how regulation impacts sleep challenges. Together, we discuss why sleep struggles aren’t just behavioral and how an overwhelmed nervous system can play a key role. This episode offers a compassionate, evidence-based perspective to help parents better understand and support their baby’s sleep from the inside out.Link to blog post about this episode and more resources: https://thepostpartumot.com/
