You Can't Control Daycare Naps. Here's What You Can Control Instead. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You drop them off with a folder full of notes. Their schedule, their wake windows, exactly how they like to fall asleep. You feel organized, in control. Then pickup comes, and they napped for 22 minutes total, all day. If daycare and what it might do to your kid's sleep has had you dreading drop-off, you're not wrong to feel that way. Let's actually talk about what you can do about it, and more importantly, what you can't. In this episode: Why daycare is almost never an ideal sleep environment,
Not All Crying Is a Cry for Help (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's 11:47pm. Your baby's been crying for six minutes. You're standing outside the door with your hand on the knob, and every cell in your body is telling you to go in. How long do you actually let them cry? I wish I had a clean number for you. I don't. But there's a real way to think through that hand-on-the-door moment, and by the end of this episode you'll know how to work through it yourself. In this episode: Why crying is one of the only forms of communication your baby has, and why that me

Read excerpt
I get asked this constantly, and my answer is always yes . Swaddling is one of the very few things in newborn sleep I'm genuinely not willing to budge on. I know that might ruffle some feathers, so today I'm walking through why I feel this strongly, what the actual research says, and the one legitimate concern that's out there, because there is one. It's just not the one most people think. In this episode: Why the Moro (startle) reflex is the real enemy of newborn sleep, and what the research in
Two and Done: How I Knew We Were Finished Having Kids (opens the original)
Read excerpt
No sleep, no schedules this week. Just an honest conversation. Somebody asked me in my weekly Q&A how I knew we were done after two kids, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I didn't answer it in the Q&A, and it wasn't because I don't have an answer. It's because I've always been the person who stops scrolling on every "how I knew our family was complete" post. For a really long time, I didn't know. In this episode: Why I would have told you with total certainty that we were havin
Why Every Schedule You've Downloaded Has Failed (and what your baby's schedule should be) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What Should My Baby's Schedule Look Like? (The Wrong Question) I get asked this constantly, and I always answer it with a question: what do YOU want it to look like? Because there's what a schedule should look like on paper, there's what your baby is actually capable of, and there's what your family's life will genuinely allow. The right schedule lives somewhere in the middle of all three. Most people are only looking at the first one. In this episode: The biggest mistake I see: living and dying
