Settling your unsettled baby: How to read your child's cues, build routines, and trust your instincts with pediatrician Dr. Golly

Pediatrician and bestselling author Dr. Golly (aka Dr. Daniel Golshevsky) joins me this week to help new parents make sense of the early weeks with a newborn and feel more grounded, confident, and connected along the way.

Together we explore:

- How to understand newborn behavior and cues so you can respond with more confidence.

- What really matters in the first four weeks — and what you can let go of.

- Why some babies struggle to settle, and how to support their developing nervous system.

- How to create flexible, supportive routines without slipping into rigidity or pressure.

- The powerful role of partners and non-breastfeeding caregivers in bonding and soothing.

- How parents can tune out the noise, trust their instincts, and feel less overwhelmed by conflicting advice.

Whether you're navigating confusing cues, unpredictable sleep, feeding challenges, colic, or the general overwhelm of early parenthood, this episode offers clarity and reassurance during one of the most intense transitions of your life.
