To kick off this first episode in the Newborn Life series we are discussing the wonderful fourth trimester… the foundational knowledge you’ll need to help your baby transition from womb life to earth-side. 

Jen Butler, our early parenting expert, maternal and child health nurse and sleep consultant, talks us through:

• Why babies need to be nurtured differently when transitioning from the womb
• Why we can’t expect newborns to sleep like older children
• Why education on the 4th trimester is paramount to a mother enjoying this period
• The 5 S’s to help settle your newborn baby

Today’s episode is episode 1 of 5 in this series. If you want to listen to this entire podcast series all at once and to learn all about newborn sleep, routines, dummies, swaddling, ideal sleep environments and so much more, this entire podcast series is now live up inside my online membership program the Pregnancy Posse.
