Meet Frank from 👋

He came by for a full home maintenance check, from testing our fire detectors to cleaning out the dryer vent (because no one wants surprise flames 🔥) and even installing a kid-friendly lock on our front door.

He checked carbon monoxide detectors, cleaned out filters, and poked around tweaking small things that just needed a fix, like tightening the toilet paper holder that we’ve just become accustomed to wobbling over the years.

We basically walked around my house and got to the random list of sh*t my husband has on his to dos, but never has time to do because we both work full time and have 3 kids 😅

You can also have them come by for:
✅ Childproofing your home
✅ Tackling those never-ending handyman tasks
✅ Basic home maintenance

Honestly, this is perfect for busy parents juggling work, kids, and the endless to-do list that never seems to shrink.

Feeling safer already 🙌

⏰ Daylight Savings is coming! Whether you prep ahead or adjust after, here are my favorite ways to help your baby fall back smoothly:

1️⃣ Gradual Shift (For the planner): The week before the clocks move back, start your morning about 10 minutes later each day. Keep wake windows and nap lengths the same; you’re simply moving the whole day a little later. By Sunday, your baby will already be in sync with the new time.

2️⃣ Weekend Adjustment (Last minute peeps): On the weekend of the time change, move bedtime about 30 minutes later on Saturday night, then shift naps 30–60 minutes later on Sunday. This helps your baby ease into the new schedule without becoming overtired.

3️⃣ Do Nothing (Emily and Jamie vibe): Some families find it easier to keep their baby’s routine exactly the same and let the body adjust naturally. This often means your baby just has a “summer bedtime” and a “winter bedtime,” and that’s perfectly okay too! Or, after a few weeks you find your way back to where you were naturally, or somewhere in the middle.

If your little one is already waking early, don’t worry—it’s not forever!
• For babies 0–4 months: follow their cues and let them adjust naturally. Stick to your basics of: I am going to feed you, watch your awake windows and make sure you don’t get overtired.
• For babies 5–24 months: gently expand wake windows by 5–15 minutes for a few days. Stick to a consistent bedtime routine.

Every baby and every family is different. Consider what’s right for you and your little one. Just like everything in parenting, there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to sleep. Which option might work for you? 1️⃣, 2️⃣, or 3️⃣? Tell us and share this post with a friend.

And if you’re finding the time change tough, you’re not alone! NAPS offers monthly group sleep support to help you navigate transitions like this (and more) with confidence. 💕

Remember when I said I got my gut test results and asked if you wanted to see them? The answer was a very loud YES 💩😂 So… here we go! I’m sharing my actual results with .personal RD, Jillian. I know this video is long, but it’s the clip from our actual session where Jillian explains all the sections and the results. So thought it would be the most helpful.

I started working with a functional medicine practice because I wanted someone to treat the root cause of why I wasn’t feeling great, not just throw a “you’re fine” at me because my bloodwork looked normal. 🙃

If you’re dragging through the day, bloated, constipated, anxious, ragey, sleeping like sh*t or just generally over it…same, girl.

Check out .personal. They’re doing a FREE workshop next week on the gut + hormone connection, so if you’re interested in this stuff, that a great place to start! You can register in our stories and bio.

Hot take on bottles as an RN, IBCLC, and mom. What was your experience with bottles?

What didn’t you know you were signing up for when you became a parent?!

I have a few notes 📝

In the meantime, if you’re driving yourself crazy trying to get your baby 5 months or younger to sleep in their crib or bassinet for all naps during the day, please stop.

You can practice one nap a day (try the first or second nap when the drive to sleep is highest) and if you have success with that, great! Try it with other naps throughout the day. If not, it’s ok to still contact nap at this age.

I promise it won’t last forever, and also, your baby only wanting to nap on you for the first few months is normal! Don’t let anyone tell you, or make you fee, otherwise!

Hi 👋🏻 it’s me, I’m the problem, it’s me.

Just kidding, you’re not really the problem. That light stage of sleep can just be really tricky especially between the hours of 3 and 6am when newborns seem to be the loudest!

If you are struggling to sleep while your baby is making all those noises while in active sleep, you can try…

…to put your baby at the foot of or the other side of the bed
….turn up the sound on or add another sound machine closer to your head

How did you handle all these noises at night with your newborn?
