Meet my friend, doula and mama-to-be Kelsey Marr!

She has a PhD and worked as a birth researcher before becoming a Doula. Given her background and experience, Kelsey and I had a chat about

• how research really frames our expectations for birth and as parents
• how important it is to have facts to go along with what loved ones (and social media!) are telling us
• Kelsey's experience with anxiety in her pregnancy and what supports she has in place
• and more!

It's never fun when babies get sick, but when they inevitably do you may be wondering how to maintain all the good sleep that's been happening.

It's not a given, but it's definitely worth being prepared for some amount of sleep disturbances if Baby has a cold or flu.

In this episode, I'm chatting about things that can help Baby manage their illness as well as strategies you can use to help them get as good a sleep as possible.

Matrescence is a process. It's the transition to Motherhood which can take 2-3 years!

I'm answering some of the most common questions I get from expecting/new parents:

1. Is it safe for Baby to sleep in their car seat? If so, for how long?
2. What's up with the 3->2 nap transition?!
3. Am I losing my milk supply? (from breast/chest-feeding parents)

If you're expecting another baby (or babies), you might be wondering how you can help your soon to be older kiddo through the transition to having a sibling.

It's absolutely common for some kiddos to struggle with how they may be feeling about having a new baby at home, and while it can sometimes seem obvious, it isn't always.

Nevertheless, this episode shares what we've experienced bringing 3 kiddos into our home over the years and what we were actually fortunate to learn through that process.

Spoiler alert: I do get into a bit about what it was like for my oldest kiddo when we brought Baby home and while I am simplifying the way that it was for the purpose of this particular episode, it really was challenging for us but we by no means blame our daughter! She was experiencing some behaviours that we found challenging to say the least, so we learned ways to help her work through these strong , valid feelings. Strategies we continue to use today in all kinds of parenting situations, so for that we are grateful!

Alright, now head to Apple Podcasts or Spotify or wherever else you listen to podcasts and check out our latest episode! There's also a direct link in our bio or head to birthbabysleep.ca/podcast .
