Psst… Hey you!
You’ve probably heard the phrase “drowsy but awake” more times than you can count—but here’s the truth: it works for a very small percentage of babies.

And that’s OK.

Rocking, feeding, cuddling, patting, and soothing your baby to sleep are not just allowed—they’re biologically normal, comforting, and often exactly what your baby needs.

So if transferring your baby “drowsy but awake” just leads to more tears (theirs and yours), feel free to drop that expectation. Your way is the right way, as long as it works for both of you.

Your instincts matter. Your baby’s needs matter. There is no one-size-fits-all sleep solution.
You’re doing beautifully.
Newborn sleep can feel overwhelming. That’s why I’m here to support you with practical, responsive, and evidence-based guidance—so you can rest a little easier.

Yesterday, I completed 18 hours of lactation education to recertify as a Certified Lactation Counselor! 🎉 Ask me anything about breastfeeding multiples, the complicated process of the infant suck, bottle feeding, trauma informed care, NICU PTSD, teaching a breastfeeding class, and when breastfeeding “fails.” Looking forward to using this knowledge to help educate, counsel, and empower! ❤️
