How’s your partner holding up? (And your in-laws? Do we dare ask?)

Come as you are—messy bun, spit-up on your shirt, coffee in hand—we’re here for it. This is your space to share, vent, laugh, and connect. ❤

Wednesdays at 10 AM. You belong here.
Be sure to call and preregister 805-543-6988

💜 Weekly Support Group: Sleep Choices Are Personal & You're Doing Great! 💜

This week's session was full of connection, encouragement, and understanding 💪. We explored how social media and even well-meaning advice from relatives can influence our thoughts on baby sleep, like the common belief that babies must sleep 12 hours by three months to be “perfect.” But here’s what truly matters:

✨ Every baby is unique – some sleep peacefully through the night, others need more reassurance. All of it is okay.
✨ Tune into your baby’s cues – you know them best, and gentle responsiveness builds trust.
✨ Co-regulation & night feeds – as Andrea reminded us, feeding at night supports breast milk supply and nurtures your bond 🤱. These moments are important, not a setback.
✨ Setting boundaries is powerful – declining unsolicited advice takes strength. Choose what feels right for you and your family.

💛 You Deserve Confidence & Peace
Your sleep choices are valid. Your instincts matter. What’s most important is that you feel good about your approach, and your baby is safe, loved, and supported.

📘 Homework & Part 2 Reminder
We’re heading into Part Two: Sleep in One Week, and we have some supportive homework to help everyone prepare.

If you didn’t attend last week but want the exercises, please call us at 805‑543‑6988 📞 and we’ll send them right away!

Here’s to you: trusted instincts, peaceful nights, and a community cheering you on. You’re exactly the parent your baby needs 💖.

this message is for our Growing With Baby Wed support group“Will I Ever Sleep Again?” – A Two-Week Dive into Baby Sleep (and Sanity) 😴🍼

If you’ve recently Googled “Is sleep a myth?” or whispered to your coffee, “We meet again, old friend” — you’re not alone. Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about baby sleep (or lack thereof), so for the next two weeks, we’re diving deep into the wonderfully weird world of infant sleep development.

We’ll cover:

What’s normal (spoiler: not what Instagram says)

How to support your baby’s brain and sleep without losing yours

Protecting breastmilk production when sleep is... creative

And, most importantly, how you can cope during this time — ideally with snacks, support, and a sense of humor.

Bring your questions, your coffee, and your comfiest pajamas. We’re in this together.

Just a Friendly Reminder!
There’s no group this week as we take a little break for the holiday
We’ll be back next week, diving into a topic that’s close to every new parent’s heart (and sleep schedule):
“Adjusting to Parenting: Wait, This Is My Life Now?”

Come as you are—messy bun, mystery stains, and all. We’ll be talking about the real transition into parenthood: the highs, the lows, and the “what day is it again?”

Looking forward to seeing you then! 💛

Yesterday we had a lovely discussion about breastfeeding and working. Thankfully, I gave out a detailed handout because we didn't get past the emotional aspects of returning to work. there was anxiety, guilt, and stress regarding how to do everything, baby care, household tasks, sleep, and all the work responsibilities.

next week we don't have a support group. The week after we will be discussing the stages of infant attachment

Just want to let everybody know that NPR is doing a series on educating boys. They’re calling it falling behind the education of American boys. Anybody with his son should be watching it I would highly recommend it.
