Sleep training is a lot like riding a bike—you don't forget the skill.
A vacation, a few nights of co-sleeping, or a change in routine doesn't erase all the hard work you've put in. Once you're home, simply get back to the habits that helped your little one sleep independently.
Just like riding a bike:
🚲 You get back on one pedal at a time (one night at a time).
🚲 You make sure you have the right setup (a consistent bedtime routine and sleep environment).
🚲 The first ride back might feel a little wobbly (expect some protest), but it doesn't take long before it all clicks again.
Consistency is what brings those sleep skills back—not perfection.
So if you co-slept on vacation, don't panic. Enjoy the memories, then confidently return to your routine. Your child hasn't forgotten how to sleep independently—they just need a gentle reminder. 💕
