How to Sleep Like a Baby

Sleep can feel like one of parenting's biggest challenges, and one of the most overwhelming. With endless advice from family, friends, and social media, it can be hard to know what actually works. In this episode, Dr. Leslie Roos and Dr. Lianne Tomfohr-Madsen are joined by infant sleep researcher Dr. Elizabeth Keys to separate fact from fiction. Together, they explore what science says about infant and child sleep, why every child's sleep is different, common myths about sleep training, and practical strategies that support healthy sleep for the whole family. Whether you're navigating newborn nights, bedtime battles, or simply wondering if you're "doing it right," this conversation offers evidence-based guidance, reassurance, and realistic takeaways to help both your child, and you, get the rest you need. Parenting is one of life's greatest joys, and one of its greatest challenges. Every day brings new questions, and every family is different. Hosted by psychologists Dr. Leslie Roos and Dr. Lianne Tomfohr-Madsen, You're Doing It Right is where science meets real life. Across this 12-part series, they explore the topics parents ask about most - from sleep and behaviour to emotional regulation, screen time, family wellness, and mental health. Each episode combines the latest research, expert guests, and practical strategies to help parents navigate everyday challenges with greater confidence and less stress. At the heart of the podcast is a simple belief: parenting was never meant to be done alone. Our goal is to provide trusted information, compassionate support, and practical tools that help families thrive. Because parenting isn't about perfection—it's about showing up, learning as you go, and remembering that you're doing better than you think.
