  • Episode 12: Bottle Washing and Mental Health Update
    Jan 23 2026

    Welcome back besties! On this weeks episode Char is giving us an update on her mental health journey and diving into nervous system dysregulation. Our main educational topic is bottle washing—so if you want to skip ahead, fast forward to around the 38-minute mark where we finally get into it! Bottle washing might sound simple, but with so many products out there (and a lot of misleading info), it can get confusing fast. We’re here to guide you down the right bottle-washing path and help you feel confident in what you’re using for your little one.

  • Episode 11: Sleep Training Methods
    Dec 26 2025

    Welcome back! In today’s episode, we’re talking all about sleep training methods. There are so many misconceptions around sleep training, and we’re here to break them down—what sleep training actually is, what it isn’t, and the different approaches available. There’s no one-size-fits-all method when it comes to sleep training; every baby and every family is different, and that’s okay. Our goal is to walk you through the various methods so you can feel informed and empowered to choose what works best for you, your baby, and your family.
