Sleep Part 1: What is typical and what to expect

In this episode of Parenting with Ngala, hosts Hannah and Jen are joined by child health nurse Kate to discuss newborn sleep. They delve into common patterns and the variability of newborn sleep behaviour, emphasising the concept of the fourth trimester and the importance of creating a womb-like environment. The conversation covers effective settling techniques, the relevance of the circadian rhythm, and how to respond to your baby's needs. Parents are encouraged to understand that newborn sleep can be unpredictable but is a temporary phase.
