Ep 56: Sleep Issues That Aren't Behavioral

Unqualified Parenting

What questions will your doctor ask when you come to them with sleep issues? When should you go to your pediatrician with your child's sleeping problems? We aren't doctors, but one of us did just have to go through a sleep study with their toddler!
Jen's toddler was recently diagnosed with mild obstructive sleep apnea, and mild central sleep apnea, and also had desaturated oxygen levels during sleep. What lead mama to question if this was happening? How do you prepare your child for a sleep study? We go into a deep dive on this topic in this episode.
If you're having sleep problems with your child that you believe are behavioral, check out Episode 46 with Sleep Consultant Shannon Parola. You can search Unqualified Parenting wherever you get your podcasts!
