That's Not How A Baby Sleeps

S2E18 Preparing for Parenthood: The Conversations You & Your Partner Need to Have Before Baby Arrives


Listen Later

Bringing a baby into the world is a life-changing experience—not just for you, but for your relationship too. So much of the overwhelm that new parents feel comes from unrealistic expectations around sleep, baby responsibilities, and support.


In this episode, we’re diving into the important conversations you and your partner should have before baby arrives. We’ll talk about what’s actually normal when it comes to infant sleep, how newborn development impacts sleep patterns, and why it’s crucial to get on the same page about night wakings, feedings, and supporting each other through the exhaustion. Because let’s be real—no one functions well on zero sleep, and feeling like the entire mental and physical load of parenting falls on you? That’s a fast track to resentment. Let’s talk about how to set realistic expectations, communicate your needs, and create a plan that actually works for your family.
