Congratulations you're having a baby! Up until now we're sure you have been doing your research on pregnancy and birth. That’s the easy part, but what next?

We understand that bringing home a new baby means you're going to be awake more and missing hours of sleep. But with a little bit of information and gentle guidance you can minimise these hours and establish a strong foundation of sleep for your little one so the whole family can get the rest and sleep you need to navigate the first few months .
