Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Newborn sleep is unpredictable, frequent wake-ups are normal, and exhaustion in those early weeks is common. The key is understanding what newborn sleep actually looks like, and how to work with it rather than against it.
In this episode of Ask the Doulas podcast, we’re joined by certified sleep consultant Mariana Yancik of Gold Coast Doulas to explore what newborn sleep really looks like and how parents can set realistic expectations during the early months.
We dive into:
• What is normal for newborn sleep and frequent wake-ups
• How to set realistic expectations for early postpartum sleep
• Common mistakes new parents make with sleep
• How to create a calm and supportive sleep environment
• When it may be helpful to seek sleep consultation support
This conversation helps parents understand newborn sleep patterns so they can feel more confident navigating rest, recovery, and day-to-day rhythms in the fourth trimester.
🎧 Perfect for expecting parents and new parents navigating newborn sleep and early postpartum recovery.
