I was talking to a new mom who swore it was impossible to get her baby to sleep in the crib. She had tried everything, and NOTHING was working.
She was stuck babywearing, sitting in a rocking chair all night long, exhausted and skipping meals and time to herself because she felt like she had no other choice.
So we sat down and broke it all down together:
✨ We talked about practicing at 2 pm, not 2 am, when she was rested and had more patience to troubleshoot.
✨We talked about how newborns are sensitive to temperature, and that the crib and nursery need to feel just right.
✨ We talked about avoiding that startle reflex and why his arms were flying as soon as she set him down.
✨ We talked about ways to console him before picking him up, still avoiding tears.
✨ We talked about nursing and getting full feeds, not just midnight snacks.
Little changes lead to BIG results.
The next time she texted me, she said,
“HE SLEPT FOR THREE HOURS. NOT IN MY ARMS?!? You're seriously a sleep WIZARD."
And we celebrated. And then, he did it again.
That’s what real support looks like with a postpartum doula and gentle sleep coach: practical, tangible strategies that actually work.
You don’t have to figure this out exhausted and alone at 2 am.
Comment “SLEEP” and let’s get you the support (and rest) you deserve.
