Mark each module complete as you go.
Before anything else, start here. This module covers how baby sleep actually works, the science of sleep associations, and the single most important mindset shift for the newborn stage — learning to listen before you react. Includes AAP Safe Sleep guidelines.
The only goal right now is survival — and there are no bad habits yet. This module covers feeding and sleep, reading your baby's cues, swaddling, day/night confusion, and the one skill that will serve you throughout the entire newborn stage: The Pause.
Two things that make an outsized difference and take almost no time to get right: the sleep environment and the bedtime routine. This module covers darkness, temperature, and white noise — and why a consistent routine matters more than a perfect one.
Things start to shift around six weeks — and shift again at twelve. This module covers what to expect as sleep becomes slightly more predictable, how to get comfortable with frustration (yours and theirs), and the Soothing Ladder: a practical tool for figuring out how much help your baby actually needs.
The honest answer about schedules in the first four months — there isn't one yet, and that's fine. This module gives you a wake windows reference you'll use constantly, explains what the four-month regression actually is and why it matters, and sets you up for what comes next.
