Not all babies sleep the same — and that’s not your fault! From easy-going to highly sensitive, every baby has a unique temperament that influences how they sleep, feed, and adjust to the world.

In this post, we’ll break down the three main temperament types, the nine traits that make your baby unique, and gentle ways to support better rest — without forcing change.

I choose gentle, attachment-based sleep learning—meeting babies’ needs with connection, co-regulation, and trust so true sleep confidence grows from safety, not separation.
