  • 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.

Q: What are the things that you think are the most important to get kind of in line before a baby is even born?

Q: What would you say to a family deciding on childcare options?
