Crib Sheets: Are You Covered?: New Parent Sleep Deprivation Solutions: Practical and Effective Expectant Parent Strategies

Sleep deprivation is undeniably the hardest part of parenting in baby's first months. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, newborns feed 8 to12 times a day--that means 2 to 3-hour sleep intervals for mom and dad! Clearly, the traditional advice "sleep when baby sleeps" isn't enough. Crib Sheets takes you further, offering practical solutions focused on parent actions rather than those of an unpredictable newborn. Crib Sheets helps you prepare now before birth to get the most sleep possible. And before birth is the best time to prepare because you'll simply be too busy and exhausted after baby arrives.

With this book you'll learn about:

The secret to maximizing parent sleep

Strategic placement of baby items and useful tools

Making big brother or sister more self-reliant

The secret to frustration-free cooking with baby

Preventing sibling interruption of parent and baby nap time

Accomplishing the three most common errands without your vehicle

Getting your brood in and out of the car more quickly

Minimizing bill payment, correspondence, and appointment time and more!

Plus, each chapter features a handy tear-out "crib sheet" to help you prepare!
