Because what if the books you’re reading are quietly breaking your heart and/or self confidence?
Let’s Talk About the Baby Sleep Booklist
You know the one stacked next to the glider, half-dog-eared, full of promises.
- 📖 “Your baby will sleep through the night in 3 days.”
→ Referenced from: The Sleepeasy Solution by Jennifer Waldburger & Jill Spivack - 📖 “Just follow this schedule to the letter.”
→ Referenced from: On Becoming Babywise by Gary Ezzo & Robert Bucknam - 📖 “Crying is fine. It teaches independence.”
→ Referenced from: Solve Your Child’s Sleep Problems by Dr. Richard Ferber
And yet,
You’re still awake at 2 a.m.
Still wondering if your baby is broken.
Still wondering if you are.
This post isn’t another list of what to buy or read.
This Is the Booklist of Beliefs
The unconscious rules you’ve been handed about sleep, crying, soothing, “good babies,” and “bad habits.”
And what happens when you choose to put those books down and pick up something softer?
📖 Part 1: The Books We Don’t Know We’re Reading
There are the physical books: the ones with charts and nap schedules and color-coded wake windows. But there are other books, too:
- The ones written in the glances of well-meaning relatives.
- The ones passed down in parenting forums and unsolicited comments.
- The ones etched into your nervous system from your own childhood.
These are the stories that whisper:
“You need to fix this.”
“Your baby should be sleeping by now.”
“You’re doing it wrong if they still need you.”
No wonder it feels so hard. You’re not just trying to get your baby to sleep.
You’re fighting invisible scripts and you never even got to choose the genre.
💡 Part 2: What If You Chose a Different Book?
What if you could choose?
What if the real bedtime story was one where you and your baby weren’t battling each other but building something together?
In This Story:
- Crying is communication, not manipulation.
- Your baby’s wakefulness isn’t a problem it’s information.
- You’re allowed to listen, even if it doesn’t “solve” anything immediately.
This is where the Baby Listening™ Method begins.
Not with tips. Not with tricks.
But with a gentle re-authoring of how you see yourself and your baby.
✨ Part 3: Why Listening Changes Everything (Even Sleep)
Sleep isn’t something you “train.”
It’s something that happens when nervous systems feel safe.
That’s why listening isn’t just kind it’s effective.
When you learn to understand what your baby’s cries are telling you, you don’t have to rely on guesswork, pacifiers, or rigid routines. You tune into cues. You offer support, not suppression.
That’s the heart of what I teach in the Baby Listening™ Course.
- It’s not sleep training.
- It’s not disguised cry-it-out.
- It’s not “gentle” in the way that means “silent suffering.”
It’s emotionally intelligent parenting rooted in attachment, responsiveness, and transformation.
You don’t need a trick. You need a reframe.
💬 Part 4: What Other Parents Are Saying
“Your class made me enjoy my baby more. I’m not paranoid anymore — I finally understand that her sounds and cries are her way of communicating. Even our nanny started listening differently, and now my baby self-soothes on her own. If not for what you taught us, I would’ve jumped in and interrupted that beautiful moment. Now I wait, listen, and trust. I’m a more relaxed mama because of you.”
— Roma De Leon Chavez, Baby Listening™ Graduate
“The Baby Listening™ class really helped us — I started practicing it from day one. We could actually understand her needs and respond before she got upset. I truly believe that’s why we have such a happy, well-rested baby.”
— Cheska Nolasco, Baby Listening™ Graduate
“For the past three months, my son has barely cried — even our nanny can anticipate what he needs before the tears come. And now, at six months, he’s starting to put himself back to sleep at night. Still using everything you taught me.”
— Baby Listening™ Mama, course graduate
🌱 Part 5: Join the Movement
This isn’t just a blog post.
This is an invitation.
- To stop reading books that make you feel broken or confused and start writing a new one.
- To step out of the sleep-fix cycle.
- To stop performing parenting and instead start embodying it.
To remember that you are not a technician, a failure, or a problem-solver.
You are a safe place.
You are a listener.
You are a parent.
And that is more than enough.
