No One Told Us

Episode 1: The Truth About Baby Sleep: Solo with Rachael


Listen Later

Have you ever googled "baby won't sleep" at 2am? Same. Baby sleep information can be a total minefield and most parents are left confused, unsure of who to trust (hint: you can trust yourself!) and TIRED.

Join Rachael for the FIRST episode of NOTU and hear all about the reason she founded Hey, Sleepy Baby after a traumatic journey with baby sleep as a first time mom. Rachael discusses her first baby's sleep "problems" and what she tried plus how to deal with reflux, CMPA and tongue tie. Rachael discusses how baby sleep drove her a little insane and made her eventually try out sleep training (from that popular trainer) and what happened. Hear how she started cosleeping with baby number 2 and what she's doing differently as a mom to her 2nd and 3rd babies. She talks about what "normal" baby sleep really looks like and what "counts" as "sleeping through the night" plus so much more!

Stay tuned till the end for a little pep talk if you're in the thick of it. It gets better!
