First Time Parents Podcast

What is sleep?

It's the most talked-about topic when you have a baby! The most common question we get is "How much sleep are you getting & how well does the baby sleep?"

Our baby DID sleep well in the night & now he has hit the 3-4 month sleep regression, it feels like we are back to the beginning, waking several times a night. He is hard to settle & his favourite past time in the day is a cat nap.

In this ep, we dive into our sleep-deprived state with a baby who is regressing, tips from the sleep seminar & how we survive in the day with a catnapper.
