💖 These are the moments I live for.

😅 I'm not going to lie, Genevieve is a high-strung, high-maintenance child.

🤰 My pregnancy was super tough, and now I know that when she was in the womb, she was just preparing me for the roller coaster ride to come after her birth.

😓 One of the things that always got to me was her fussy phases. At first, I had no idea that it was normal for babies to be super irritable for weeks at a time.

😞 I felt like I was doing something wrong, even though I was doing all the things I was supposed to do.

🤯 Then, I discovered the Wonder Weeks, and WOW did it change my whole perspective. It wasn't me, it was just Genny's mental leaps causing her to be so fussy for days, even weeks on end.

🤓 Basically, your baby learns new skills during a mental leap (or Wonder Week) and this causes them to feel overwhelmed. It's temporary, but man when you're in it you feel a little crazy!

🎧 Listen to episode 26 of The Better Postpartum Podcast to learn more about the Wonder Weeks and see if your baby might be in a leap!

When my daughter was a baby, I read ALL the books,

When my daughter was a baby, I read ALL the books, including Babywise. 👎

The simple, straightforward, and predictable routine of eat, play, sleep was SO appealing to me, so I tried really hard to get my daughter to do it. 😅

I was so exhausted from her just eating whenever, with no predictability to it. I basically had her on my boob every 30-60 minutes. It was too much for me! 😖

So enter the eat, play, sleep routine. I put on my big girl pants, followed the book’s instructions to a T, but still our bedtime routine was an absolute nightmare. 😭

While I did the same sequence of events each time I put her down to sleep, she WOULD NOT go down without eating.
I would fight it and fight it, sometimes for hours at a time, just trying to get her to go to sleep without eating again. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Guess what? She wouldn’t go down without that top-off. 🤯

Eventually, something happened in my brain (a lightbulb went off, maybe a rock hit me over the head, I’m not sure) and I realized that putting her down for her nap was INFINITELY EASIER when I let fill her belly up before bedtime. 💡

The problem with the Eat, Play, Sleep routine...

Did you read the Babywise book? Have you tried the Eat, Play, Sleep routine hoping it would be the holy grail of baby sleep routines but it failed miserably? You're not alone.

Lots of moms have experienced this same frustration because the strict Babywise sleep schedule just doesn't work for most babies.

In this episode, I'll break down the reasons why the Babywise routine fails and how you can modify the routine to make it work for you and your baby - because you CAN have a predictable routine, just not in the way you might've thought.
