Show Notes
Listener questions are my absolute favorite because they're usually the exact thing twenty other parents are quietly wondering. Margaret is in the host seat for this one, pulling questions straight from the DMs and keeping me on track while we dig in.
Today, I'm answering two big questions: when to start a baby schedule and what to do when your big kids are suddenly in your bed at 2 a.m causing middle-of-the-night mayhem.
Join us on this episode to learn when you can start bookend scheduling with a baby and why earlier is often better, how to think about daytime feeds versus nighttime stretches, and how bedtime routines help you wind down just as much as they help your baby. You'll also hear what "independent sleep" really means, and how to be calm and steady in the middle of the night without turning into a guilt spiral or a yelling mess.
