This week on That’s Not How a Baby Sleeps, we’re welcoming back one of our past guests — Blake Alexiss — for an honest and heartfelt conversation about the transition from one child to two, and what sleep looked like the second time around.

Blake opens up about the rollercoaster of adding a new baby into the mix, how her second postpartum experience compared to her first, and the sleep myths she released once she realized how much more confident and grounded she felt the second time.

We talk about:

✨ The pressure she felt as a first-time mom — and how she let that go with baby #2

✨ How vastly different temperaments changed her approach to sleep

✨ What she did differently this time, and what she kept the same

✨ Navigating bedtime with two little ones (and the moments where everyone needs you at once)

✨ Why understanding her baby’s unique sleep needs made everything feel calmer and more manageable

If you’re expecting baby number two, deep in the transition, or simply want reassurance that sleep doesn’t have to look “perfect” to be supportive — this episode will feel like a warm exhale. Blake’s honesty, intuition, and growth shine through, and her story is such a beautiful reminder that trusting yourself makes all the difference. 💛
