Sleep isn’t just a luxury, it’s essential for both you and your baby. 💤

For babies, sleep fuels brain growth, emotional regulation, and even immune health. For parents, it supports patience, mental clarity, and your ability to show up with love every day.

When your baby (and you!) sleep well, everything feels easier: connection, play, feeding, and even joy.

If your nights feel anything but restful right now, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I help families find peace and predictable sleep using gentle, responsive methods that honor your baby’s needs and yours. 💛

Here’s the truth behind some of the most common misconceptions:

1️⃣ Myth: Baby sleep cycles are the same as adult sleep cycles
• Truth: Babies have shorter sleep cycles, usually 50–60 minutes, which is why night waking is totally normal. Adults have 90-minute cycles, so expecting babies to sleep the same is unrealistic.

2️⃣ Myth: Sleep training means letting your baby cry it out
• Truth: Sleep training doesn’t have to be harsh. Gentle, responsive methods help babies learn healthy sleep habits without prolonged crying.

3️⃣ Myth: White noise, pacifiers, and swaddles are always a crutch
• Truth: These are tools, not crutches. They can help babies feel safe and support sleep while you teach consistent routines.

4️⃣ Myth: All babies should sleep through the night by a certain age
• Truth: There’s no universal “sleep-through-the-night” age. Every baby develops differently, and night waking is normal, especially under 6–9 months.

💡 Bottom line: Baby sleep is a skill that develops over time, and every family’s needs are unique. Gentle guidance, consistency, and support go a long way.

There are SO many crucial questions to ask your provider to gauge the kind of care that you will receive in labor, here is a good start!

Let's Talk Skin to Skin!

Of course, skin-to-skin contact after birth is so important between mama and baby, but what about a non-birthing parent and baby? There are SO many benefits!
Skin to skin can:

🌟Increase oxytocin and dopamine, causing positive feelings about being close to baby

🌟Helps "parental superpowers" kick in

🌟Creates a stronger bond between baby and parent

Sometimes, in the natural birth community, epidurals can be viewed as an altogether bad choice. It's so important to talk about the benefits (as well as risks) of all birth interventions! The most important thing is weighing the risks and benefits and making an informed decision that's right for you and your baby 💕

Just a friendly reminder. 💞

Doulas and midwives are NOT the same, but they often work together toward a common goal during a mutual client's labor, birth, and postpartum 🧡
