Newborn Sleep Tips

This is where healthy sleep starts!

You CAN begin teaching your new arrival the foundations for sleep in the first weeks of life! In fact, quality sleep is critical for your newborn’s mental and emotional and physical wellbeing. 

My Top 5 Newborn Sleep Tips

  • Put your baby to sleep in the Dark – trust me! They will learn key sleep skills faster if their room resembles a dark, cozy cave. 
  • Find a Swaddle that helps your baby to calm down, and stay asleep if they should startle. You may need to try different sizes and styles. 
  • Use a Routine to send a clear message that sleep is coming. Babies are small but very smart; they know that diaper change, swaddle, patting, and a song means Zzzz! 
  • Place a White Noise machine as far away from baby as possible and as close to disruptions such as door or window.  
  • Work as a Team so that you can support each other AND your baby by creating predictable routines followed by all caregivers.

You are a ROCK STAR! I did exactly what you said; Pacifier cold turkey, SNOO cold turkey, sleep routine switch around to what you said - check! and BAM, C has slept each night ALL through the night. Thanks!"

"Before we started working with Kristine, our son would only sleep in our arms. Now he’s taking long naps in his crib and sleeping great at night with zero protest before bed. We’re so thankful for Kristine and her encouragement. Our family is now well rested and much happier."
~L.R.
“The Newborn Plan totally works, we continue to be blown away by our daughter’s predictable and wonderful sleep habits. Now at three months old she only wakes to eat once per night and has a regular daytime napping schedule. Our well-rested baby is so happy. We remain ever so thankful for your guidance, Kristine!”

"What used to be a long process now only takes minutes, and there are no tears at bedtime. My babies are sleeping great at night and in their own cribs!"

Meet Your Teacher

Hello, I’m Kristine Petterson. I spent 10+ years teaching high school Social Studies, 20+ years teaching Yoga, and now my favorite people to teach are confused and overwhelmed parents.

My own parenting challenges inspired me to create educational resources for parents wondering “is it really supposed to be this hard?!?” Using mindfulness practices and step-by-step strategies, I empower dedicated newborn families to feel supported, connected and confident teaching sleep with sweetness and respect.
