Sleep and newborns

Newborn Nighttime Tip​:sparkles:

Learn what active sleep is before your baby arrives. With my first baby, I picked her up every time she made a noise. With my second, I realized grunting and squirming were often just active sleep, and it helped all of us get more rest.

Overall tip: Not every newborn noise means they need to be picked up.

It makes such a difference. I wish I would’ve known for my first.
