Listen Later

In the much-anticipated Season 6 finale of Sense by Meg Faure, we welcome back regular guest Nina Clark for a 6-week check-in on her newborn, Josh! Nina shares the joys of Josh's blossoming social nature, including those heart-melting early smiles, and the realities of managing a six-week-old alongside her toddler, Max.

Meg Faure offers expert advice on navigating this key developmental stage:

  • The 6-Week Fussies: Understanding why babies often experience a peak in fussiness and sleep struggles around six weeks.
  • Daytime Nap Dilemmas: Strategies for handling tricky daytime naps when baby seems to have FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) and resists settling.
  • Carrier Conundrums: Discussing why some babies might resist inward-facing carriers and exploring alternatives.
  • Soothing with Deep Pressure: The benefits of tight swaddling (done correctly!) and weighted blankets for calming more fractious infants.
  • Decoding Overstimulation: How to spot early signs of overstimulation before crying starts, and tips for adjusting baby's environment to provide necessary downtime.
  • Creating the Perfect Sleep Setup: Advice on using white noise and aiming for an 80/20 rule for naps in a quiet, dark space to foster good long-term sleep habits.
  • Nature vs. Nurture: A look at how a baby's inherent sensory profile and their environment contribute to their social development.

This episode is packed with relatable experiences and actionable tips, making it a perfect listen for new parents navigating the early weeks or anyone who enjoys an honest chat about the realities of motherhood.
