Rest Easy

Nobody really expects to get a lot of sleep with a newborn around so it comes as no surprise that new parents are tired . Keeping baby sleeping safely though is one way to be sure you at least get some rest with worry kept to a minimum .

“ Don ’ t worry about creating bad sleep habits with a newborn , it ' s impossible to over help or spoil a newborn . At this stage safely do whatever you need to do to help your child , and you , get as much sleep as possible . That may be feeding them , rocking , bouncing on a yoga ball , a walk in the carrier or stroller or holding them to sleep . As your child grows and goes through a big sleep transition at arounds 12 weeks of age , you may find that they begin to get a little more independent with their sleep .” ~ Rebecca Michi
