No More Stressing About Sleep: Rachael from Hey Sleepy Baby on Night Waking and Temperament
Positive Pregnancy, Birth and Motherhood by Pop That Mumma founder of Birth Box and Oxytocin BubbleShow Notes
Can we just be honest? Nobody actually sleeps through the night! Not you, not me, not your baby, and that's completely normal. In this episode, I'm joined by Rachael from Hey Sleepy Baby and we get real about sleep patterns and why waking up in the night isn't the problem we've been told it is. We're talking about normal night waking and why your baby's temperament plays a huge role in their sleep patterns. She also shares practical ways to troubleshoot sleep issues. This one's for every knackered parent who's been told their baby "should" be sleeping through by now. Want to learn more about Rachael and Hey Sleepy Baby?

A short episode to explain my album of tracks, The Oxytocin Bubble.
So many of us are used to just pulling out our phone and getting answers almost immediately about anything when asking AI. But what about when we do we this for our pregnancy and labour related questions? In this episode, I’ll be sharing: - How I used AI myself during pregnancy and even during labour, as a childbirth educator and doula - Why constantly checking with AI for reassurance might be eroding your trust in yourself - The moment AI told me my baby’s head was crowning when it definitely wasn’t - The importance of tuning into your body and using your intuition to get the answers - The false confidence in AI’s answers, and why fact-checking against credible sources still matters - When AI can actually be useful during this time
Those early days with a newborn are such a big transition, both for you after the birth and for your baby as they move from womb to world.
In this episode, I'm joined by journalist and author Molly Forbes, whose work is dedicated to helping families raise body-confident kids in a culture that constantly judges bodies.
