Helping you stay connected through pregnancy and early parenthood
Sleep Expectations
This card is for couples who want a plan for nights before the baby arrives. Talk about who does which night feeds, how each of you will get some rest, and what can wait when you’re both tired. Have this conversation in the last weeks of pregnancy, then check in again after the first few nights at home.
Sleep Expectations
Tiredness can strain communication and increase stress. When you create a plan that supports both of you, taking turns, resting when the baby rests, lowering pressure on other tasks, you protect your bond. Babies feel more settled when caregivers respond with patience, which is easier when rest is shared and honoured. A gentle approach to sleep keeps the focus on connection and safety, not perfection.
Newborn sleep is messy and unpredictable.
