65 - The lowdown on newborn sleep

In today’s episode of Voices of Your Village, our sleep consultant Rachel gives us the low down on newborn sleep. Newborn sleep can be tricky because it is so vastly different than sleep in older babies. How often should they nap? Where should they nap? Can they safely sleep on their stomachs? What about in an adult bed? Is there anything that be done to get more nighttime sleep? What about nursing to sleep or holding the baby? Are these bad habits? Rachel and I dove into all of these questions and more. We talked about the intersection between newborn sleep and newborn feeding and how to optimize both. And we talked about the importance of balance, grace, and tapping in your village to maintain your mental health during the more challenging times.
