Swaddling is a lifesaver in the early weeks. Your baby’s arms startle, they wake themselves up over and over, and you have not slept in what feels like years. A snug wrap can help them feel calm and secure, which means you may finally get a stretch of rest that feels like real sleep. Swaddling is helpful in the newborn stage, but it is not forever. There is a point where it stops being soothing and starts being unsafe, and knowing when to stop is a big part of safe sleep. At

Newborns talk all day long. They just do not use words yet. The way they move, the way they breathe, the way they look at you, the sounds they make before they cry — all of that is communication. When you start to read those cues, everything gets calmer. Feeding is easier because you offer milk before the frantic crying stage. Sleep is easier because you put baby down before they are overtired. Crying is less scary because you can tell the difference between "I am hungry," "I

Sleep is not just "nice to have" in the first year. It is safety, recovery, mood stability, milk supply, mental health, and the difference between "I can function" and "I am crying in the laundry room at 3 a.m." But when you start talking about sleep training, everyone has an opinion. A lot of those opinions are loud. A lot of them are also not true. This blog will walk you through common myths, what the science actually says, and how support from Eat Sleep Love Baby fits in

The first weeks with a new baby are beautiful, but they are also exhausting in a way most people are not prepared for. Nights stretch forever. Feeding is constant. Your body is still recovering. Your brain is running on survival mode. You are trying to meet your baby’s needs and your own needs at the exact same time, and most nights it does not feel possible. This is where overnight newborn care changes everything. Having trained support awake with your baby at night is not a

Newborn sleep can feel impossible to understand at first. Some naps are twenty minutes. Some are two hours. Nights are broken into tiny pieces. You finally fall asleep and the baby is up again. It feels random. It feels like there is no pattern at all. The truth is, there is a pattern. It is just not the same pattern adults have. Newborns are born with a very simple sleep system, and that system changes fast in the first months. Understanding how those sleep cycles work will

Early morning wake ups feel brutal. The clock says four thirty or five. Your baby is bright eyed. You feel like the night just started. The good news is that most early wakes have a clear cause. When you find the cause and make small changes for a few days in a row, mornings move later and the whole day gets easier. What counts as an early waking Most families call anything before six a.m. an early waking. If your baby wakes before six and will not resettle, this blog is for

People say “it takes a village,” but they never tell you how to build that village or what it should look like in real life at 2 a.m. when you are crying on the kitchen floor. The truth is, most new parents are sent home with a baby and zero structure. You are suddenly responsible for feeding a human, keeping that human alive, recovering from birth, regulating your emotions, answering messages from family, cleaning bottles, and remembering to drink water. That is not sustaina

Feeding your baby should not hurt. Feeding your baby should not feel like a wrestling match. A lot of breastfeeding stress comes from position, not from milk supply or “doing it wrong.” When your baby’s body is supported and their mouth can get a deep latch, feeding becomes calmer for them and less painful for you. The goal is comfort for both of you, not a perfect photo. This blog walks through the most helpful breastfeeding positions, how each one supports the baby’s body,

Switching between breast and bottle can feel tricky, but it does not have to be a battle. With the right flow, relaxed pacing, and a simple plan, your baby can take a bottle and keep breastfeeding strong. The goal is comfort and calm for both of you. When to introduce a bottle Start short practice feeds earlier rather than waiting for three to six weeks. Many families do well introducing a tiny bottle once breastfeeding is underway in the first one to two weeks , as soon as l

Sleep regressions feel big because your baby is growing fast. New skills arrive. Routines wobble. The aim is not to force sleep. The aim is to guide your baby with better timing, a calm routine, and gentle help you can repeat. What fits your family Some parents want an easy plan they can follow at home. For them, an age based printable guide works well because it gives ready to use wake windows, nap caps, and sample days. Other families want custom support. If reflux, frequen

The newborn stage is tender and busy. You are learning your baby, and your baby is learning the world. Safe sleep is the base that keeps everyone protected while you find a rhythm. A few steady habits matter most. When you repeat them at every sleep, nights feel calmer and naps improve. Back to sleep every time Place your baby on the back for every sleep, day and night. This position keeps the airway open and lowers risk. Even short naps count. Back to sleep is the habit you
