If you’re pregnant right now, chances are you’ve got a running mental list of all the “shoulds” you’ve heard about feeding your baby. You’ve probably read a few blog posts, had well-meaning friends share their “must-dos,” and maybe even found yourself deep in a late-night Google rabbit hole. And if you’re already feeling the pressure—before your baby is even here—you’re not alone.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the what-ifs, you’re not alone.

Let’s bust a myth right off the bat: there’s no one-size-fits-all method that magically works for every child. That’s especially true when you’re parenting in a connected, responsive way.

Attachment parenting doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your sanity. And seeking sleep support doesn’t mean you’re abandoning your instincts.

Your Baby Doesn’t Need a Perfect Sleep Plan. They Need You.

If you’re holding your baby while reading this with one hand and sipping your third cup of lukewarm coffee with the other, first of all, I see you. I’ve been there. And so have hundreds of families I’ve supported through those long, hazy days and even longer nights.
