Baby Sleep Podcast

With three children born in four years, Michelle and Dave entered the parenting world in a fast and furious fashion. As the first in their circle to have kids, they learned a lot through trial and error. Michelle's candid retelling of the early days with their oldest daughter, Adrianna, offers plenty of tips and “what not to do's” for the fourth trimester, as well as what they learned and how it worked for their second and third kids, Charlie and DJ. She has the benefit of living beyond the baby years to offer perspective and insights that will be valuable to anyone earlier in their journey. As an experienced mom with almost a decade of parenting behind her, Michelle shares tons of practical advice learned from raising three kids who are close in age, but all unique individuals, as well as thoughtful insights on how her marriage has weathered the many ups and downs of a life lived together.

Professor mom Julia and her surgeon husband Jim found support in evidence-based practices after a rough first few months with their daughter. Julia battled post-partum anxiety issues and a lot of confusion about how to facilitate baby sleep for a newborn. With the arrival of their son, Julia and Jim put into place their “Master Plan” to avoid some of the pitfalls they encountered as first-time parents.

Did you know that in the first year of your child's life, you'll put them down to sleep for more than 1,500 times between naps and bedtime?! And yet, as a culture we don't have a good mechanism for talking about this super important part of the parenting journey. Welcome to the Baby Sleep Podcast, where parents share their stories, challenges, and tips.
