Optimizing Sleep in the Early Days of Parenting
Sleep during those newborn days is challenging, but small changes can make a big difference. Optimizing your rest is about creating habits that work for both you and your baby.
Quick Tips for Better Rest:
Go to bed early to maximize sleep before night feeds.
Avoid blue light from screens an hour before bed.
Follow your baby’s cues and sneak in naps when possible. Instead of “sleep when baby sleeps” focus on doing what you can only do when baby is asleep (which often means sleep!)
The Power of Safe Sleep Practices:
Did you know that a firm mattress and safe co-sleeping setup can make a world of difference? Don’t miss my FREE Safe Sleep Seven and mattress firmness test resources for guidance.
