How to Get Sleep With a Newborn:
A Guide To Restful Sleep For New Parents

$25.00

Though most babies sleep through the night by the time they turn one, it’s important for mamas to optimize their sleep, especially in those early days of postpartum where frequent and unpredictable wakings are common. Falling asleep faster and getting into a more restful sleep are important steps to get you more energy to keep up with your little ones.

Research shows sleep deprivation exacerbates symptoms of perinatal mood & anxiety disorders. Five hours of uninterrupted sleep every 24 hours is physiologically imperative for healthy functioning in a normal adult. This isn’t impossible – even with a newborn!

But let’s get you the best rest we can with the available hours and help you fall asleep faster when you do get a much needed break!

Our Opinions on the Most
Common Newborn Sleep Tips You’ll See Online

Of course you thought of this, it isn’t always that easy though! We know it can be difficult to hear when you’re sleep-deprived and desperate for a few hours of sleep, but honestly, it’s true. We give you full permission to nap when the baby naps – sleep IS productive and you do not have to complete your chore list during this time.
While we agree motherhood isn’t the chapter for a pristine house we also recognize clutter can be triggering for many. If it doesn’t bother you then by all means mama, step over that pile of laundry and get to snuggling. However, if the mess piling up is becoming a nuisance or distraction consider outsourcing cleaning. If a full cleaning lady isn’t in the budget ask a teenager in the neighborhood if they’d like to make some extra spending money! You might be surprised what a quick refresh of your space can do for your overall health.
While we do encourage you to share night time duties, we also understand how difficult it can be. If you are still waking up with baby even when your partner is in charge of feeding and diaper changes you must come up with a different strategy that works for your families needs to ensure you are getting enough sleep. We share a few different options in the guide and meditations that can help you get back to sleep quickly.
While convenient, putting the crib or bassinet near the bed is more complicated than just the physical location. Some babies are ‘noisy sleepers’ and their grunting or wiggling might startle you awake even though they don’t need tended to. Putting the crib ear the bed may raise or lower anxiety, act according to your preferences.
