Episode #014 - The Memo On: What’s normal for Baby sleep with Hannah Willsmore.
The Midwife Memos with Lauretta Hamilton - Podcast
This week I’m joined by Hannah Willsmore — Midwife, Lactation consultant, Birth educator and NDC-accredited practitioner — for a reassuring, myth-busting conversation about infant sleep.
If you're pregnant my hope is that this episode supports you to go into the world of babies and sleep with realistic expectations, or if you’re already there - help you feel reassured and less worried that you or you baby are doing something wrong!
We chat about:
What’s actually 'normal' for baby sleep
The NDC/Possums holistic approach and why it’s so freeing (and supportive for mental health, feeding and sleep!)
The biggest myths that cause unnecessary stress for parents
How parents can actually support their babies sleep
