    Still Great Five Years Later
    I found the website and PLS podcast back in 2019 as a first time mom. I welcomed a surprise second just 14 months later, and the guidance from this podcast made a really chaotic time a heck of a lot easier. I truly believe it’s one of the reasons my girls are such great sleepers who ASK for their one remaining nap even at 3 and 4 years old. They are the cleverest little people and I think most of that is due to good sleep habits. Fast forward to January 2024 when my third child was born. He’s already on his way to great sleep habits, but I was struggling with daytime sleep. Thankfully I remembered the name of this podcast so I could refresh my memory on how long my last little baby should be awake between naps. Today is already one of the best nap days ever and I can finally get the laundry folded! Thanks so much to these ladies and the wisdom that they continue to bestow on sleep deprived parents.❤️

    Need to read the book first
    I found this podcast after reading the book (of the same name). I think reading the book essential to understand the frameworks and methods they recommend, especially since the podcast episodes don’t seem to discuss them in detail. The podcast is a great and interesting supplement to the book.

    Do not recommend
    My number one concern is their endorsement of allowing an infant to sleep in a swing and bedsharing. Both of which are proven to be unsafe. They also talk over and over again about the importance of a baby falling asleep independently but never talk about how to accomplish that. This ended up being a huge waste of time.

    Fascinating
    This is very helpful especially to those of us who love learning and research! And what better topic than baby’s and sleep which is going to affect mama’s lives so much!
  • Bergaufbremser11
    Poor
    The ratio of actual helpful information compared to women chatting and laughing with each other makes this an utter waste of time.
  • Helped save my sanity!
    So helpful!
    Great podcast! I started listening to this podcast when I was nursing my newborn for what felt like endless hours at night. He's 3 months now and it has helped us with starting a good sleep training program plus all sorts of other great tips. Also, HUGE fan of the swing!

    Unhelpful and exhausting
    Listened to the episode on Daycare Napping. Could not be less helpful, literally just two women talking about their nightmare experiences with. I actual guidance or advice. There are far better parenting podcasts out there. Besides being useless, it’s simply completely lacking entertainment.

    A MUST for baby sleep advice!!
    Love listening to this podcast because it helped me figure out my baby’s sleep schedule, traveling with my baby, and more in general about how to help my little one (and myself!) with sleeping!

    Please keep recording podcasts!
    I really enjoyed all these episodes! Please start recording again! Very helpful to hear real moms share their experiences as well as research regarding sleep.

    Just found this pod cast and I'm instantly drawn in! I love the logical approaches and shared experiences. I'm about to be a first time mom and your pod cast really helps me not only educate myself, but it reduces my anxiety for this life changing experience.

    More helpful than a sleep book
    I never was into podcasts until PLS came along. With a new baby, it's pretty much impossible to sit down and read a book, but being able to listen to this podcast has really helped me get my baby sleeping well. I highly recommend it!

    A must for sleep deprived parents
    As a parent to twins, I am all too familiar to sleep depreiavtaion. It was really starting to drive me crazy until I stumbled across the Precious Little Sleep blog at 2am one night desperate to get my kids to sleep. It was the first time that I felt like things were going to get better. The blog and the podcast offer great useful tools that every parent needs. I'm a changed person because of it and reccomend the blog and podcast to all new parents!

    Best Sleep Expert
    I'm an avid reader of the Precious Little Sleep blog and I recommend it to everyone I know. Alexis and her team offer common sense sleep suggestions for tired parents. Her sleep knowledge saved my sanity. I highly recommend.
  • Tootily
    Helpful and fun!
    I'm thankfully much less desperate for sleep than I was when I first started listening to this podcast and reading the website. I so appreciate the hosts sense of humor. I feel so much less shame and much more in control of my little guys sleep challenges. I have to admit - I'm still terrified of daylights savings time! Ready to power through in a week.

    You're not alone
    A helpful resource and community for parents trying to help babies sleep better.

    life-saving tips
    Thank goodness for the information this podcast provides. It helps to remind me that I was once a sane human.
  • Kimothyschma
    Great Podcast
    Fantastic, practical advice that works 100%. Alexis' advice got my baby to sleep when nothing else works. I wish this podcast had been available 2 years ago, and I will be brushing up big time now that #2 is almost here.

    These Ladies know what they are talkin' about
    This is a very enjoyable podcast to listen to if you are seeking advice on how to help your baby sleep but you are too tired to read the articles on their website. The advice is solid and works. The ladies are funny and straightshooters with their knowledge and experience with baby sleep. I used the swing method with both my kids and I'm thankful that they can both put themselves to sleep. I listen to the podcast even though the topics discussed don't apply to my children's sleep situation. I like being up to speed on the current sleep discussions, because regressions happen.

    A night to sleep
    Thanks ladies for your humorous and empathetic voice for the insomniac moms and dads. You've given practical advice and it works. We can take back the night and feel like a human again. There is hope!
  • OriginalClean
    Great podcast!
    Hope their tips work!
  • Docssb
    Very helpful
    We have been struggling with sleep issues since our baby was born. She is 11 months now and this podcast has really helped us better understand her sleep needs and come up with a plan to address them.
  • Gg281
    Very helpful
    I love hearing the ladies opinions because they are using sleep research as opposed to just subjective opinions
  • Lydiadn
    THE resource to survive baby sleep
    I mean it. Alexis' blog and online community saved my bacon when I was in the throes of postpartum delirium and sleep-deprivation. And who has time to read dense books when you're that exhausted? This podcast is perfect, and fun to listen to as well!

    It's sleepy in here
    Back when my son was 4 weeks old and I anxiously cried while simultaneously bouncing him on an exercise ball and texting all my mommy friends asking for sleep advice, one smart and trusted mommy friend wrote: "Precious Little Sleep" and that's pretty much that! Ever since that day I have been religiously following the blog, reading all the comments, spending hours on the FB group, and now happily listening to the podcast in between waketimes ;) The honesty and humor are so refreshing and I can't say how grateful I am to the ladies for doing all the heavy lifting for us, sifting through research, books, and sharing their experience with those of us, who are struggling to help our babies sleep. This podcast is a must for new parents!
  • Mallory O'Bryant
    All Parents Should Give this a Listen!
    Oh how I wish this podcast existed before my daughter arrived. After reading a LOT of advice about babies' sleep, PLS came along and made sense of it all. And in the early days of parenthood, this podcast would have been so helpful when I just couldn't read anymore. Keep it up, ladies!
  • AlextheAlex12
    Research Based & Hilarious!
    The podcasts are so, so great! They are extremely research based and so I feel as though I'm getting really important science based information. Additionally, they are funny--obviously! I also love the random children making noises in the background-- it makes them very relatable! I want you to have more podcasts so that I can listen to them all the time, and I want you to do podcasts on everything related to motherhood! Thank you so much for providing the podcasts. Don't stop!
  • Lwasko
    Must Listen
    Podcast is essential for new parents, all parents, caregivers. Very balanced and realistic advice from those that have been there! If you were looking for baby sleep advice, this is it. Love PLS.
  • Shanniemacb
    More please!
    I have enjoyed listening to these. Great information! This is my second baby and surprise! She is completely different then her 3 year old counter part. Not to mention I blocked a lot of the newborn phase out after the first one. Looking forward to more!

    Honest and refreshing
    This parenting gig is hard. There; I said it. But the ladies on PLS make it seem doable without discounting its difficulty. They are funny and smart and I can't wait to hear more from them!
