14. 12 Sleep Tips for New Parents
Description
Sleep is one of the MOST challenging aspects of having a new born. And yet it is so important for babies development, and for parents' physical and mental health!
I used to think constant exhaustion was just part of new fatherhood, but the truth is, poor sleep breaks everything: our health, our patience, our connection, even our sanity. In this solo episode, I share the sleep strategies that helped my wife recover, my daughter thrive, and made me a better dad. From blackout curtains and nose breathing to alternating night shifts with my wife, we go deep on the stuff no one teaches you.
This isn't just about baby sleep. It's about reclaiming your own. We talk nutrition, circadian rhythms, custom lullabies, and how to keep resentment from piling up at 3 am. If you're tired, burnt out, or quietly losing it… this one's for you!
