Are you finding it tricky to balance your baby’s naps and feeds without feeling tied to the clock? You’re not alone. 💕 In my newest blog, I share the MAMAS method—an evidence-based, gentle rhythm that supports both sleep and feeding while helping you tune into your baby’s cues. I’ve also included a handy awake time chart you can save for reference! ✨

Becoming a parent brings so many new questions, and sometimes it feels like there’s so much to learn all at once. My heart behind these workshops is to give you a space where you can ask questions freely, practice hands-on skills, and leave feeling just a little more confident and cared for. 🌿

We’ll be touching on feeding and pumping, formula, infant CPR, and starting solids. If you’re considering more than one, CPR and Starting Solids truly go hand-in-hand — one gives you safety skills for peace of mind, and the other helps you begin this exciting new stage with confidence.

And if you can’t be there live, the virtual options come with recordings so you can rewatch whenever you need to. 💕

You’re warmly invited to join — just visit my website to see what’s coming up and save your spot. I’d love to walk alongside you.

✨ Let’s talk about dream feeds for a minute… ✨
I know they sound magical—the idea that you can sneak in an extra feed while baby sleeps to help everyone rest longer. But here’s the thing: babies feed best when they’re awake, alert, and actively eating. That’s when their little bodies are most efficient, and you know they’re getting the nourishment they need. 💕

Instead of dream feeds, I recommend focusing on active and effective feeds during the day and evening. This helps your baby get full, restful sleep stretches at night naturally—without adding in extra work for you.

Every baby is different, of course, but if you’ve been wondering why dream feeds aren’t working for you, you’re not alone. You’re doing a beautiful job, and sometimes small shifts can make all the difference. 💫

Feeding your baby is about so much more than food — it’s eye contact, skin-to-skin, and trust from day one.
When you’ve prepared ahead of time, you can weather changes and challenges with confidence.

our baby is born ready to feed — but that doesn’t mean the two of you will automatically know exactly how to make it work.
Prenatal breastfeeding prep is about both of you learning together, but with you starting ahead of the curve.

People say breastfeeding is natural — and it is — but that doesn’t mean it’s simple.
Those early days? They can be a whirlwind of feeding, wondering if baby’s getting enough, and googling at 2 a.m. with a tired heart.

When you prepare before your baby arrives, that learning curve feels so much gentler. You can meet those moments with calm instead of panic.

Planning to breastfeed? Let’s start with preparation, not pressure.

Knowing what to expect—before baby arrives—can make a big difference in how you feel during those early feeding days. That’s why I wrote this blog: to give you clear, gentle, and realistic guidance to help you feel more confident and supported from day one.
