but, for those of you who are curious about what our routine looked like, i’ll give you a quick recap of it below! having Shiloh on a schedule has allowed me/Michael to still work + structure our days around her feedings and nap times.

I owe everything to y’all - my two babes are healthy, wonderful sleepers and I tell every new mom that the only book they need to read is MOC. The first night was rough for all involved, but we dropped our beloved swaddle, night/early AM bottle, and put him into his crib in his room for the first time - all at the same time. I'm not following this to a T because I think it's too strict for a newborns needs, but it's a good start to building a routine schedule. While they do so, here’s a tip to keep things smooth: if your little one is dozing off during those initial feedings, gently scratching the bottoms of their feet or using a cool washcloth on their head can help keep them awake.I did choose to get an infant bathtub and ignore the advice to use only the adult bathtub from the beginning. Recognized as one of Babylist’s Best Baby Sleep Resources, this book is an essential companion for navigating the early stages of parenthood.

I also felt that the advice pretty much lined up with the "Healthy Sleep Habits" book, just without referencing (endless) studies.
