The co-founders behind NAPS & Nurture by NAPS, Emily Silver (Family Nurse Practitioner, IBCLC, and mom of 2), and Jamie O’Day (Registered Nurse, IBCLC, and mom of 3) get right into the good stuff and discuss one of their hottest topics--SLEEP. Whether it is pre-baby or post-baby, everyone is desperate to know all things about baby sleep… or if their baby will ever sleep. Not to worry, they will!
In this episode, Jamie and Emily talk about realistic, simple, quick, and easy ways to get longer stretches of sleep with your newborn to ultimately get you more sleep/ more efficient sleep as parents. Hint: It requires doing less work—actually NOTHING.
Jamie and Emily bring in real life experience with their girls like avoiding proactive intervention, frequent feedings, diaper changes, swaddle adjustments, etc…to explain that less intervention overnight will help your newborn get longer stretches of sleep. This includes when to start, how to start, and when you have the ‘greenlight’ to let your baby be your alarm clock.
These simple adjustments can be implemented in the initial weeks home from the hospital and make you feel better from a physical and mental perspective! Afterall, who doesn’t love their sleep?
