Listen Later

I love this question, mostly because I can predict that Im going to get it from most new mums!!!

Newborns often wake once that are put down for a few different reasons

- Because of the Mammalian Brain,
- Because of the lack of noise, light and feeling unsafe,
- Because of the bodies vestibular system,
- Lack of understanding of baby sleep cycles and 
- lack of object permanence. 

This Podcast dives into why babies wake and give you a heap of ideas to help them stay asleep when you transfer them!

Good luck!
