Getting enough sleep can be difficult with a newborn baby in the home. This podcast episode is an excerpt from my book, A Man’s Guide to Newborn Babies, on getting enough sleep for you and your wife after baby arrives. This chapter reviews the concept of sleep rotas, and stresses the absolute importance of sleep when taking care of a newborn baby.

I’m going to be a dad for the first time soon. This advice is good. One thing I’d add is to make a bunch of your favorite dinners and freeze them in dinner sized portions!
I definitely second your recommendation! In my book I also suggest that families visiting your newborn bring PREPARED FOOD instead of non-edible gifts like flowers. It is super, super helpful in the first month!
