Natural Family

Whether you are still pregnant and preparing for the newborn stage, or you are already in the deep, dark forest of sleep deprivation, this guide will give you solid and logical information to help you make decisions that support you and your baby and get all of you more sleep and rest.

Learning about the unique biology of mothers and babies and what God intended for us, gives parents confidence and a healthy appreciation for nature’s design. This knowledge makes the newborn stage simpler, more peaceful and more joyful for the whole family.

BENEFITS OF THIS INFORMATION:

• You will know exactly when your baby needs to sleep specifically, without relying only on the clock or "wake windows"
• You will be able to identify and meet all their needs until they are completely comfortable, such as hunger, a stuck burp, tummy pain, being too hot or cold, being in pain, or having a full bladder or needing a bowel movement, which causes restless sleep in babies. Your baby will have increased length of deep sleep episodes, helping them be more rested.

• You will know when they need their nervous system regulated and how to help them do that.
• You will learn about safe co-sleeping so that you can use it as a resource when needed.

• You will have the confidence to trust your instincts when well-meaning people say you are creating bad habits in your baby when you are simply respecting newborn biology.
• Your baby will develop a strong circadian rhythm and be less likely to experience a sleep "regression" at 4 months.

• You as a parent will get more sleep, feel more rested and enjoy better mental health during the short, intense newborn stage.
