The 10 Minute Newborn | Quick Tips for Newborn Parents

If the SNOO is on your registry (or you're trying to decide if it should be) this episode is for you.The SNOO bassinet is one of the most talked about baby products on the market, and for good reason. It works. But there's a part of this conversation that the marketing consistently leaves out, and it's the part that tends to show up in my coaching room at three, four, and five months postpartum when families are more exhausted than they were in the newborn stage and trying to undo something they didn't see coming.In this episode, I break down exactly what the SNOO is doing, why it works, and the one question every family should be asking before they decide. Because it's not the question most people are asking.If you want to make this decision intentionally before your baby arrives rather than reactively after, this one is worth ten minutes of your time.In this episode:What the SNOO actually does and why it's effectiveThe dependency pattern that forms quietly over the first weeksWhy SNOO families often hit a wall at the transition and what drives itThe question to ask yourself before your baby arrivesReady for the full roadmap before your baby comes home? The Newborn Foundation Protocol is a week-by-week feeding and sleep framework designed to be completed before your baby is even born.

Keeping your baby up later to get a longer stretch at night feels completely logical. It's also one of the most common mistakes I see newborn moms make. It almost never works.In this episode I'm sharing the story of a newborn mom I'm currently working with. It's her third baby, she knows my methods (we worked together on her second baby too!), but she is still stuck in the same pattern. Her 8 week old was going to bed between 9:30 and 10:30pm every night and waking at 1am, then 3am, sometimes more. And for three consecutive weeks she told me the same thing: I know what you're going to say Kristen. I'm just not ready.I'll explain exactly what's happening in your baby's biology at 7 to 8 weeks that makes the earlier bedtime work and I'll read you the DM she sent me the morning after she finally made the move. It's that good.If your baby is 7 to 9 weeks old and bedtime feels like a battle every single night, this one's for you.Ready to stop guessing and start building a real plan?

In October of 2019, I walked out of the hospital with my first daughter, a chemistry degree, a very capable husband, and absolutely no idea what I was doing. That first night home is where this whole thing started. Not because it went badly, but because something about it quietly set us up better than I knew at the time.Both of my daughters were sleeping through the night before ten weeks. When I went back to work and started talking to other moms, I realized their experience looked nothing like mine. Not because I was lucky, but because nobody had given them a framework that made biological sense. They were drowning in tips. I had stumbled into a foundation.That's why I built the Newborn Foundation Protocol. And this episode is the story behind all of it.
