The fourth trimester is a magical time, but it can be exhausting. Having realistic expectations along with encouragement, guidance & practical advice can help you find joy in every moment of this wonderful time, instead of feeling like you’re just surviving. In this guide you will find advice on how to get the most from your newborn's sleep, helpful tips to support your transition into motherhood and recommendations to help you avoid unnecessary sleep deprivation.

Right now you might be feeling..

✔ Emotional and overwhelmed when bedtime rolls around because you're not sure how to settle your little one in their crib.

✔ Confused when your baby is crying and seems so tired but just won't go to sleep.

✔ Up every 1-2 hours every night trying to get your baby back to sleep.

✔ Anxious and exhausted by inconsistent naps.

✔ Like you're failing because everyone else's babies seem to be sleeping.

✔ Like you want sleep support but you have no idea where to get help or what is even possible!

This newborn guide will help you to..

➜ Learn the science of your baby's sleep including sleep cycles, how to optimise awake windows, deep sleep vs active sleep, day & night confusion and more!

➜ Encourage your newborn feel safe and comfortable having naps and nighttime sleep in their crib or Moses basket.

➜ Achieve 5-6 hour stretches of sleep overnight by 8-10 weeks.

➜ Feel confident when it comes to your newborn's routine, feeding, safe sleep and how to calm them during those difficult witching hours.

➜ Lay the foundations for great sleep in the future

This guide is for you if you are:

✩ Pregnant and want to be best prepared for when your little one arrives

✩ Have a newborn who is under 4 months and are struggling with sleep

✩ Are a friend, family member or colleague who wants to give a new mama the gift of sleep

There is no magic spell to get your newborn to sleep through the night or take lovely long naps every day because most of the time they’re just not ready for this yet. But by laying solid foundations, getting into a great daily rhythm and creating an environment conducive to sleep, you will be giving yourself and your baby the best chance of achieving longer stretches of sleep now and beyond the fourth trimester.

*This guide is does not include any sleep coaching methods as your newborn is not developmentally ready to be taught to fall asleep independently yet. It is my hope that by following the advice in this guide, you will have set the foundations for great sleep in the future.
