Tiny Newborn Guide 🍀
A Gentle Approach to Shaping Sleep Foundations From the Beginning

Free download

Welcoming a newborn is a big adjustment — and in these early weeks, you don't need a rigid schedule or someone telling you to let your baby cry it out. You need to understand what's actually happening, and a gentle way to work with it.

This guide walks you through the first 16 weeks with real sleep science, not internet myths:

🌙 What's biologically normal for newborn sleep (and when it's actually worth asking your pediatrician)
🌙 How to read your baby's unique temperament and cues
🌙 The truth about the 4-month regression — and how to move through it without sleep training
🌙 Red flags to watch for, and exactly who to call if something feels off
🌙 A nap cheat sheet so you know what's coming next

No cry-it-out. No separation. Just science, structure, and support — so you can trust your instincts and your baby.

For babies who don't miss a thing — and the parents figuring out how to help them (and themselves) sleep better.

If your baby fights sleep, notices everything, and seems to run on a different battery than everyone else's baby — this one's for you. This free guide walks you through why your alert, sensitive little one struggles to power down, and how to work with their wiring instead of against it. No sleep training, no crying it out, no losing yourselves in the process.

It also goes a step further than most sleep guides: it looks at your temperament too. Because the plan that finally works isn't just about your baby — it's about the two of you together.

What's inside:

• Is your baby "wide-awake"? A quick self-check to see if this is you

• The 9 traits that shape temperament (in your baby and in you)

• The Dandelion, Tulip, or Orchid framework — a simple way to name your child's (and your own) sensitivity style

• A guided reflection to map where you and your child each land

• What to do when your styles clash — practical, not preachy

• Five gentle shifts you can start using tonight

• When it's more than sleep — signs worth mentioning to your pediatrician or IBCLC

• An in-the-moment reset for the hard nights

The CALM Framework for gently building independent sleep — day and night — without losing connection along the way.

If contact naps and contact sleep have been working for your family, there's no rulebook saying you have to change a thing. But if you're ready for a little more space (and a little more sleep of your own), this guide walks you through exactly how — without sleep training, without separation, and without leaving your baby to figure it out alone.

This is our two most-requested guides, combined into one complete resource: everything I teach about moving on from contact sleep at night, using my CALM Framework (Consider, Arrange, Layer, Maintain), plus everything you need to know about how naps themselves shift and change along the way — because day sleep and night sleep are always talking to each other.

You'll get myth-busting, real readiness signs (for your baby and for you), a temperament-based approach so you can tailor the pace to your kid, and a full walkthrough of every nap transition from 4 naps down to none — all woven into one framework instead of two separate documents to piece together yourself.

What's inside:

• The CALM Framework — four gentle phases from foundations through holding the change

• Myth-busting on what "moving on" does and doesn't require

• Signs of readiness for baby and for you, plus a temperament guide

• "Know your why" + co-parent alignment exercises

• Sleep space setup and a nervous-system regulation guide for you

• Step-by-step layering plan for reducing contact, gradually

• What to do when a nap won't happen, plus troubleshooting for common snags

• Every nap transition explained (3→2, 2→1, last nap goodbye) with signs of readiness and how-tos

• A guide to regressions, comparison, and knowing when you're "done"

This is everything, in one place. Your Sleep Support Roadmap — my complete framework for understanding your baby's cues, sleep needs, and the gentle 7-step CALM Method for making change — plus 7 Ways for Better Sleep Without Separation, the specific, practical shifts that put that framework into action, day by day.

If you've ever felt like sleep advice makes you choose between "understand the why" and "just tell me what to do," this guide is both. Part One walks you through your baby's cues, how much sleep they actually need, setting up their space, and a gentle way to wean off any sleep prop (feeding, bouncing, rocking, the pacifier) without losing the connection that made it work in the first place. Part Two takes two of those roadmap steps and breaks them into seven concrete, doable shifts you can start tonight — no sleep training, no cry-it-out, no separation, ever.

This is the most complete resource I offer outside of 1:1 coaching, built for the parent who wants the whole picture and a clear next step, not just one or the other.

What's inside:

• Understanding your baby's cries and sleepy cues (plus a "sweet spot vs. late cues" reference)

• Sleep need and wake window charts by age, with a fill-in exercise for your own baby

• Nap troubleshooting and a full room setup guide for sensory-seeking sleepers

• The Gradual Handoff — a step-by-step way to gently wean off any sleep prop

• The Catching Stars ritual for toddlers working through separation

• The CALM Method and your full 7-step Sleep Support Roadmap

• 7 Gentle Shifts across daytime foundations and nighttime environment, with a nap cheat sheet and feeding troubleshooting

• A note for sensitive (FOMO) babies, when sleep backslides, and when to get extra support
