In today's episode, I'm diving into how to figure out why some nights you can have great nights, then the next night is crap!  In the parenting space, I would say that 99% of ‘bad nights' are blamed on teething. Teething has become the default for why babies or toddlers aren't eating, aren't sleeping and why they're grizzly throughout the day.  While teething can play a part in this, our babe is far more complicated than teeth always being the bother, and without knowing the other things you need to consider, all these *bad* nights that you think are teething pain could be easily resolved if you know what to ask yourself!  If you'd like a shortcut to understanding the link between your babe's feeding, sleep, health and development, then this is what I teach you inside my Happy Baby Code Membership. Enrolment is currently closed, but if you'd like to put your name down on the waitlist, you can head to: https://www.jenniferbutler.online/jointhewaitlist

Welcome back to the first episode of Season 5 of The Happy Baby Show! This episode will kick off the "Ask Jen" Segment where I answer questions specifically submitted by you, my wonderful listeners! If you'd love to submit a question for "Ask Jen", you can click here. Inside this episode, we're diving into some of the reasons why your baby may not be settling after their 'fed, dry and warm'. The reality is, our babes are a lot more complicated and there are things that can get in the way of this simplistic approach to newborn care.

Inside this episode I'm answering this "Ask Jen" question: "my 4-month-old has suddenly started screaming as soon as she is put in her sleep sack in a dark room. Until now, she was an excellent sleeper and could settle herself in the bassinet with a bit of singing. It's like she fears sleep. What is causing this? What can I do?" This episode dives into the likely cause of why this is happening for this family, and where they can start to look at making changes.
