If so, today’s episode is for you! I'm getting into the specifics of how exactly I recommend transferring your sleeping baby from their car seat to their crib at bedtime. And how to transfer your sleeping toddler from the car to their bed at night. I share what to do, as well as what to do when plan A doesn't work, and then what to do when plan B doesn't work.
