Those long, dark nights with a newborn that were filled with cries, anxiety and fear were calmed many times when we opened our MOC book for advice. Enjoy the benefits of being able to swaddle like a pediatric nurse for those first few months as we establish healthy sleep habits right from the start! There are suggested schedules where the baby eats every three hours, is alert for a period of time after the feeding, then naps until the next feeding.Thrown in there are some pretty common sense parenting tips, which hopefully all readers take their children for well visits and will already have received that guidance. We go back and forth on putting him down when drowsy or waiting until he's fully asleep, but even if we wait, it never takes more than 10-15 min max for him to go to sleep.

But at almost 6 weeks post-baby, I’ve read this book a second time, referred back to it countless times, and my baby has been sleeping 7-8 hours at night the last week because of the recommended schedules.

But what truly sets this book apart is its proven strategies to help your baby sleep through the night so you can too! We will be caring for this child FT while working FT after our parental leaves so I think we would strongly benefit from a set schedule. From baby nurse to the stars, a step-by-step plan to managing sleep and feeding issues to survive—and enjoy—the first six weeks of your newborn baby's life. but, just wanted to be real with you guys and let you know where we’re at – the good, the bad and the ugly! We did it before the "4 month sleep regression" and did not notice any issues with his sleep in that time period.It’s a scenario familiar to many parents, including Jennifer, one of the authors, who watched her sons try that very feat.
