It's Sleep Awareness Month, and if you're a new parent reading this through exhausted eyes at 2am, we see you 😴💙

Newborn sleep is survival mode—there's no way around it. But here are
some truths that might help: Your baby's sleep patterns are normal, even if they're hard. Sleep isn't linear—there will be regressions. "Sleep when the baby sleeps" is lovely advice when it's actually possible. And asking for help so YOU can sleep isn't selfish, it's essential.

What's one thing that's helped you cope with sleep deprivation? Drop your tips in the comments below!

P.S. don't forget: we offer sleep support 💤

🌙 Creating age appropriate sleep plans for babies, toddlers, and big kids (up to 12 years old!)

Happy International Women's Day 💜

To the mothers, the birthers, the ones still hoping, the ones healing from loss, the ones navigating impossible choices, the ones doing it solo, the ones raising their village— we see the invisible labor, the advocacy, the resilience, and the love.
Today and every day, we're grateful to walk beside you during some of life's most transformative moments.

Here's to honoring badass women everywhere!

Heads up! On average, you'll spend more time at the pediatrician in the first two years' of your baby's life than you will the rest of their childhood 😳

That means you want to have a REALLY good relationship with your pediatrician!
It's well worth the time and effort to put some thought and intention behind your search for a care provider for your new baby.

Teething can be tough on everyone 💙

Drooling, fussiness, trouble sleeping, nursing more frequently and wanting to chew on everything are all typical signs. Try offering a clean, cold washcloth or refrigerated teething ring. Gentle gum massage with a clean finger can provide relief too.
Remember, every baby teethes differently—some sail through, others need extra comfort. There's no "right way" to handle it, just your way 🫶

What teething tips have worked for your family? Tell us in the comments!!
