"Why is my baby crying?" We asked ourselves this question practically everyday in the first couple of months with our baby.

In this episode, I'll be walking through the 4-point checklist that we developed to identify why our baby is crying that you can use to overcome this challenge with ease so your baby can sleep through the night.

What can you do when your baby won’t sleep in the day? This is a popular question that I’ve been asked quite a bit. If your baby has only been taking short 20 or 30-min naps once or twice a day, you need to help your baby settle into a comfortable routine so he can take longer naps more consistently. In this episode, you’ll get to learn about the different activities that need to take place before you put your baby down for a nap and the exact timing that you should be aiming for each time.

What should you prepare before the baby comes? Although 9 months seems like a long time to prepare for the arrival of our newborn, time does go by quickly!

In this episode, I dove into things that are truly important to sort out (and it’s not just about getting the baby room ready!) so you will be well-prepared to deal with all the other surprises that will come your way when your baby is finally here!
