Summary

In this episode, I dive into all things baby sleep with Andrea de la Torre!

Here are the questions we go over!

When should I start thinking about prepping for a newborn in regards to sleep? What sort of things should I do to prepare? Read books, take a class, talk to parents, etc?
What are some common sleep cues a newborn will give me to let them know they are sleepy?
Why do you do what you do?
My baby seems to only want to sleep for 30-45 minute naps at a time…why do some babies sleep for 2-3 hours? Why won’t my baby sleep longer?
Cry it out makes me so nervous and I can’t even think about “sleep training” my baby, but I really want to sleep! What do I do?
My family seems to think I stress out too much about baby sleep but I can't stop. What should I do?
When do babies start to sleep longer than 2-3 hours at a time? Mine is still waking up consistently through the night to breastfeed at 7 weeks.
My baby sleeps great at night (6 hour stretches) but during the day his naps are awful. When will the day time sleep get better?
How do you know when your baby is ready to start giving up naps? How do you even do that?

0:05.1	Hi guys, thank you for joining me today.
0:07.8	Today is a very special episode
0:09.4	because it is with my friend Andrea.
0:12.4	I met Andrea in the online space probably a year-ish ago.
0:19.3	I'm not exactly sure, but we became friends
0:22.4	because she kind of does a similar thing on
0:25.0	Instagram that I do except I do pregnancy and birth related stuff and she teaches
0:31.6	about sleep related stuff. So newborn sleep, toddler's sleep, anything to do with sleep. She is
0:38.8	a certified sleep consultant and that is her passion in teaching parents how to get their lives back and
0:46.6	how to get their babies to sleep. She is a total wealth of knowledge and
0:51.8	information when it comes to that area and I've even
0:55.2	picked her brain from time to time about Walter and how to get him to knock better
1:00.1	and all of that good stuff. I was totally unprepared with Walter
1:06.1	when it came to newborn sleep
1:08.7	and I totally wish I was more prepared
1:11.2	and I had some insight of what the heck I was getting myself into.
1:15.2	I really just wish someone had told me exactly what newborn sleep looks like and why babies do what they do and what I can do about it. I feel like
1:26.1	I would have had so much less anxiety. I probably would have slept a heck of a lot better
1:31.7	even though it was really only three hours at a time some nice or
1:35.5	one hour at a time some nights and I would have felt so much more in control of my situation
