## Resource

The early years of parenthood are spent almost entirely in bed — and almost never asleep. In this episode, Jeff revisits the co-sleeping years: a toddler who slept sideways, turning three bodies into a capital "H" and pushing both parents to the far edges of a California King; the strange comfort of dangling half off the mattress; and the parade of baubles that promise to ease new parenthood — chief among them the peerless My Brest Friend nursing pillow. Schuyler joins to walk through the Bugaboo prams, the Dutailier glider, the bedtime ritual of "steam roller," and the 3 a.m. bargain of whispering "give it to me" to a feverish kid. This is part of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.
