The Four-Week Wake-Up: Why Your Easy Newborn Suddenly Stopped Being Easy

One day your newborn was falling asleep mid-bottle and impossible to keep awake. The next day she was wide-eyed and awake for hours and you had no idea what happened.

This is what I call the Four-Week Wake-Up. It's the developmental shift that happens around three to four weeks of life when your baby's brain comes online, cortisol starts to regulate, and the sleepy newborn phase ends without warning. It's one of the most common things I see on my weekly group coaching calls, and it catches almost every new parent completely off guard.

In this episode I explain exactly what's happening in your baby's biology when this shift occurs, why it feels like something broke overnight, and the one thing I'd have you change about your day before you try to overhaul anything else.

If your baby is anywhere from three to six weeks old and naps have started feeling like a battle (or if you're still in the sleepy phase and want to know what's coming) this one's for you.
