In this episode we discuss newborn sleep, although why would be because let’s be honest here, newborn babies don’t sleep. At least not in the way you might hope.
Newborn Babies are Mysterious
When my first was born I was given the advice, “Follow his lead! He’ll let you know what he needs!” Really? Because he was generally fussy and I could never tell if he was hungry, tired, bored, gassy, or some combination therein. Truthfully the whole thing was baffling and I spent my first few months as a new Mom exhausted and confused.
If you’ve ever felt this way or are currently feeling this way, join us for our Newborn Sleep Podcast where we demystify newborn sleep by breaking down:

June 1, 2016 at 4:23 pmwow, this all resonates! at the very end you talk about self-care. I remember always being thirsty and feeling too rushed to drink, so a similar solution was leaving glasses of water everywhere.
This is such a terrific and reassuring podcast to here when you have a newborn.

Thank you SO much for your kind words! And I love that you find it reassuring. It’s a collaborative effort and our goals were:
– brief (generally <30 minutes)
- conversational (everybody brings great thoughts to the table)
- reassuring (parents are so stressed!)
Really appreciate you checking it out 🙂

June 6, 2016 at 12:23 pmThis was such a great podcast! Please do many many more! Super helpful, my baby is 3 weeks old and I’ve been struggling for the past 2 weeks specifically with sleep and fussiness. This was such great information and helped so much because I realized that my baby was over tired and since then it’s been a lot better. And the tips at the end were amazing. Thank you so much!

July 9, 2016 at 5:42 pmThank you so much for this! My son is 3 weeks old and I have been struggling with the newborn phase. Just hearing that it is ok and what we’re going through is normal is so helpful. I was starting to question my ability and so needed to hear this.
