SHOW NOTES Kinda like with birth, if you listen to people around you, you probably think that the newborn period is a traumatic time of screaming babies and nobody sleeping much. Babies are either colic or teething or allergic to this or that or won’t sleep at night.  It can sound pretty scary. But what if I told you that all of that is something that is very true to who they are and who they have always been — they are trying to adjust to something so very different than all they’ve ever known….so we need to try to help them work through that in the right way if we want to make that transition smooth and beautiful.   Inside this episode you’ll get information on how to help make the baby’s transition to life outside the womb smooth and beautiful.   Links to products mentioned:   Arms Reach CoSleeper — very close to the one I used, but an updated model   Inspired by Finn Teething Necklaces — 15% off with code YBGW   La Leche League International Bed Sharing Info   Boba Wraps & Carriers   Ergo Carrier   Helpful Links:   2 WAYS TO WORK WITH LORI:   --> Sign up HERE for the Your Birth, God's Way Online Christian Childbirth Course!
