If your baby only sleeps when held or wakes the moment you put them down, you’re not doing anything wrong. Learn a gentle, developmentally aligned approach to newborn and baby sleep—without cry-it-out or rigid schedules.

If your baby refuses naps or only sleeps in short stretches, it’s rarely a sign that anything is wrong. Nap struggles are often rooted in timing, cues, and nervous-system needs. In this gentle guide, you’ll learn why babies fight naps and the simple, soothing shifts that can bring more ease into your days.

Your newborn isn’t trying to make sleep harder — they’re trying to feel safe. Contact naps are their way of returning to the warmth, rhythm, and closeness they’ve always known. This blog explores the science and the softness behind contact napping, and how to support your baby’s rest without stress, guilt, or pressure.

When your newborn won’t sleep, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or wonder if you’re doing something wrong. The truth is, most newborn sleep struggles come from tiny things—overtiredness, overstimulation, or cues that are easy to miss in the chaos of early parenthood. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the real reasons babies fight sleep and offer gentle, evidence-informed tools to bring more calm, rest, and confidence into your days.

As a postpartum professional, I often remind families that breastfeeding success isn’t just physical—it’s deeply emotional, sensory, and rooted in confidence. The Perfect Fit Kit does more than provide nipple protection; it supports a breastfeeding relationship by addressing comfort, fit, lactation psychology, baby positioning, and parent–baby bonding.

With sizing options for precision, soft food-grade materials that protect delicate skin, and an intentional cut-out for skin-to-skin contact, this system supports what matters most: connection, safety, and ease during feeding.

Tools that honor both function and emotional experience are not luxuries—they are meaningful, protective support for new mothers and babies.

The first forty days after birth aren’t just about feeding, sleep, and recovery — they are where emotional bonding, family rhythm, and lifelong attachment truly begin. Whether you’re preparing for a home birth, navigating newborn sleep, or longing for compassionate postpartum support, this season was never meant to be walked alone.

You’re rocking, shushing, swaying — and still your baby wakes the moment you exhale. You’re not doing anything wrong. Newborn sleep isn’t broken; it’s beautifully unfinished. Here’s what’s really happening inside those tiny brains (and what to do instead).

If you’ve had a cesarean birth before, you may have heard the term TOLAC — a “Trial of Labor After Cesarean.” It’s a phrase that can sound clinical, but behind it lies something deeply human: the chance to birth your baby on your own terms. In this post, we’ll break down what TOLAC means, what makes it safe, and how to know if it’s right for you.

Planning a VBAC can feel both hopeful and overwhelming — but you deserve evidence-based care that helps you feel informed, supported, and safe. Backed by ACOG and VBAC Link research, this guide offers clear, compassionate insight into what makes VBAC possible, how to talk with your provider, and how to trust your body again. Whether you choose a VBAC or repeat cesarean, this is about reclaiming your story with confidence and calm.

Newborns aren’t supposed to sleep through the night — and that’s okay. This blog gently walks you through what normal baby sleep looks like in the fourth trimester, what’s hard, and how to find your rhythm.

Sleep deprivation isn’t just exhausting — it can make postpartum feel overwhelming and isolating. If you’ve ever wondered whether working with a newborn sleep coach could help, you’re not alone. This blog explores the real-life benefits of gentle sleep support, how it works, and what to expect when you invite someone into your family’s rhythm.

A gentle update from me to you — what’s shifting, what’s staying, and how I’m holding space for this next chapter of care at Eden & Embrace.

It’s hard to keep your heart open when everyone has something to say about your fertility journey. Even when advice comes from love, it can still feel heavy. This piece isn’t about fixes or solutions — it’s about being seen, heard, and reminded that you’re not broken for feeling the way you do.

Inositol is one of the most talked-about supplements for PCOS, but it’s often misunderstood. At Eden & Embrace, I take a holistic approach that looks beyond quick fixes. Inositol can help support hormone balance, ovulation, and insulin health when used intentionally and with the right foundation.

Motherhood isn’t a single milestone — it’s a continuum that begins long before conception and continues well after birth. At Eden & Embrace, holistic motherhood support means walking with you through every phase — fertility, birth, and postpartum — with evidence-informed care that honors your body, emotions, and faith in the process.

For me, being a doula and fertility guide isn’t a job. It’s a sacred invitation into some of the holiest, most vulnerable spaces a woman will ever walk through. This work is personal — and I pray daily for the wisdom to hold it well.

In Blue Zones, infertility is almost unheard of — not because people there have better genes, but because their lifestyles nurture the body’s natural rhythm. In this post, I explore what these communities can teach us about fertility, balance, and the power of understanding your body before assuming something is “wrong.”

Fertility isn’t just about your cycle — it’s about the world your body has moved through. At Eden & Embrace, we explore how your environment, including gentle awareness of “forever chemicals,” may be quietly influencing your hormones, detox pathways, and conception journey. No fear, just thoughtful, compassionate care.
