  • Eekk 🤗

    The way I squealed when I saw ep. 1 of Season 2 drop! This is my favorite parenting podcast, Rachel is so relatable and makes this information easily digestible while also sharing other resources for listeners to dive into.

  • SCAM

    Before giving this woman any money, I highly recommend reading Raising Your Spirited Baby/Child.

    I bought her course (something I normally would never do, but sleep deprivation had me desperate). The entire thing turned out to be a funnel to buy more courses, with little real substance.

    Raising Your Spirited Baby offers far more science-based explanations about temperament and sleep—and it’s a fraction of the cost.

    Save your time and money. Don’t support a grifter.

  • Misinformation

    This podcast labels “misinformation” as anything that is slightly related to Trump or MAHA- even if it’s factual- she can’t separate politics from her social media page or podcast.

  • Informative listen

    I appreciate Rachel’s approach to educate parents on topics that aren’t discussed before you have kids or even during. I’ve been a huge fan of hey sleepy baby since my first child was weeks old during the pandemic. Her approach is informative not fear mongering like a like of accounts on IG. She uses the same approach in this podcast. I like walking away know more and feeling empowered to make the decisions that are best for my family.

Episode 102: How to Protect Your Kids Without Parenting From Fear with Holly Choi
Q: What are the most common injuries you see in babies and toddlers, and how do they happen?

Episode 102: How to Protect Your Kids Without Parenting From Fear with Holly Choi
Q: What inspired you to focus on child safety and how did you get into this space?

Episode 101: Why Good Enough Parenting Is Enough with Eli Harwood
Q: What is a cycle breaker, and how can a parent begin reparenting themselves for healthier dynamics?
A cycle breaker works to transform relational patterns and internal narratives to create more connection and safety for their children; this often involves developing a more democratic, nurturing environment and acknowledging past wounds while actively creating new patterns for future generations.
Episode 101: Why Good Enough Parenting Is Enough with Eli Harwood
Q: What should parents do if they regret sleep decisions or fear they damaged their child?
First, forgive yourself by understanding you were likely under-resourced or overwhelmed; then approach the child with curiosity about their needs, apologize or explain where possible, and repair the relationship through ongoing attunement and responsiveness.
Episode 101: Why Good Enough Parenting Is Enough with Eli Harwood
Q: How do you reconcile the idea of sleep and attachment when parents are faced with sleep training versus responding to cues?
Sleep is a mirror of parental and infant mental health. Ideal practice involves presence and responsiveness to infant cues, while recognizing real-world constraints; many pathways exist to improve sleep without compromising attachment, including gradual strategies and using rupture-repair to maintain trust.
