You are NOT creating bad habits by responding to your baby 🩷

Holding them
Feeding them to sleep
Comforting them when they cry

These are not “bad habits.”

Your baby is learning:
*safety
*connection
*regulation

Through YOU.

You are not doing anything wrong by being responsive.

You're in the thick of it.
Your baby will only sleep on you.
Every time you put them down, they wake up.
And this isn't what you expected.

"Aren't babies supposed to love to sleep..?"
"Why is does baby sleep independently for long stretches?"
"Is my baby normal?"
These are all questions you find yourself asking.

But here's what you never thought about.
Interrupted sleep cycles are considered normal, even for adults!
And sleeping alone in a dark unfamiliar room would be considered dangerous in most cases.
So it is actually normal that your baby does not want to sleep anywhere else but with you.

You are their safe place.

And even more fascinating, for the first year, infant sleep is directly and deeply connected to their mother.
The two coexist together and mom's regulated nervous system acts as an internal compass for their baby.
That is biology and the way babies are wired.

So while you're sitting there wondering what you're doing wrong...
By going to your baby when they awaken and cry.
By letting them fall asleep in your arms.
By letting them sleep in your safety.

Just know, that you're doing everything right! 🩷

When you're running on no sleep…
With a baby waking what feels like every hour...
And you don’t even feel like yourself

If you’re in the thick of postpartum right now - this is for you.

The constant wake-ups
The exhaustion
The feeling of not recognizing yourself

It’s heavy.

But you are still showing up for your baby every single day.
And that matters more than you know.

This phase won’t last forever - even if it feels like it will.

Your baby is doing exactly what they’re biologically designed to do.
Early infancy comes with lighter, easily disrupted sleep to support feeding, connection, and normal physiological regulation.

This is normal!

Stop assuming something is wrong every time your baby won’t sleep 🩷

Sometimes it’s not reflux.
Not gas.
Not a sleep regression.

Sometimes your baby is simply:

* overtired
* overstimulated
* going through a normal developmental phase

Not every wake-up needs fixing.

Sometimes they just need time, connection, and support.

If breastfeeding hurts…please hear this:

Pain is NOT something you should just “push through.”

Discomfort at first can happen—but ongoing pain usually means something needs adjusting.

Your baby isn’t ‘bad at sleep.’

They’re going from being warm, close, and safe… to a completely different environment.

That sudden change is why they wake up.

Try this: wait 5–10 minutes after they fall asleep before putting them down.

Postpartum isn’t just physical.
It’s emotional.
It’s mental.

It’s a complete identity shift.
You have went through the transition from maiden to mother.
Your brain, heart, and identity have completely shifted during this journey.

And navigating all of that while caring for a newborn…is a lot.

You’re not alone 🩷

Unpopular opinion:

Breastfeeding isn’t automatically “natural” for most moms.

Hear me out...

It’s a learned skill! Every baby is learning this new skill. And also, just because you breastfed before doesn't automatically mean every subsequent baby will breastfeed easily or that it will feel "natural." Moms will also need to learn and develop this new skill, geared toward their new baby.

And expecting moms to just figure it out alone…is exactly why so many struggle.
