How To Get Your Newborn To Sleep Tonight + My Favorite Products For A Good Night’s Rest
ABCs are supposed to be easy, right? This whole sleeping babies Alone, on their Back, in their Crib sounds great in theory, but how in the heck does one get a newborn to actually do it?
Well, best friend, I’m here to tell you! I know they seem intimidating, but newborns are just tiny little humans who like the same things most fully grown humans do when it comes to sleep.
I’ve been helping babies learn to sleep for over a decade and I’ve yet to find one who doesn’t respond well to the things we’ll discuss in this super quick, straight-to-the-point BONUS episode. You’ll learn:
How to create a sleep environment your baby will love. 😴
Step-by-step instructions how to put a baby down for sleep (and actually walk away!).
My favorite products/tools for encouraging restful sleep for baby (and you!).
This BONUS episode was recorded with exhausted parents of brand new babies in mind, but it’ll serve you well if you’re pregnant (seriously, take notes) or the parents of an older baby, too (just have to remove the swaddle).
