“Sleep is as much of a biological importance to us as food”

“Your classic newborn is going to wake several times during the night” 

“Lack of sleep is the number one contributing factor to postnatal depression” 

“Dads are great Swaddlers” 

“Every baby is different so you need different strategies”

Some of the quotes from an interview I did with the dad train for his latest podcast.

If you're pregnant or know a family expecting a baby, send them to this podcast where I spill the beans on how to get your newborn to sleep, and what science tells us about sleep training.

We chat about why the lack of sleep is such a shock to new parents.... it seemed like a luxury when we were in our teens and early 20's.... suddenly when we're thrown into parenthood we have to deal with waking every 2-4 hours and we wonder why we feel so rubbish.

How much sleep do adults need?

What is fragmented sleep.

How can we encourage awesome newborn sleep?

What are Dads great at when it comes to babies and sleep?

Is sleep training going to damage my baby?

Check out the podcast and let us know what you think.
