Welcome to season 2! In this episode, I have a very special guest who helped me so much during my early postpartum joureny as a new mom struggling with sleep.

Episode info:

What if the very systems we’ve built around “fixing” baby sleep were never rooted in biology at all?

In this episode, Alyssa sits down with Louise Herbert, Pediatric Sleep Scientist and Perinatal & Infant Mental Health Specialist, to explore the real science behind infant sleep — and why “training” babies may not align with how their brains, bodies, and nervous systems actually develop.

Louise draws from her work in Sleep Anthropology, Neurological Development, Infant Feeding, and Attachment Science to help parents understand what’s normal, what’s cultural, and how to create sleep rhythms that honor both baby and mother.

✨ Why the infant sleep industry isn’t regulated and what that means for parents🧠 The neurobiology of night wakings (and why they’re protective, not problematic)🤱 How feeding, attachment, and temperament shape natural sleep cycles💤 How to support better rest without cry-it-out or separation-based methods

If you’ve ever wondered whether your baby “should be sleeping through the night,” this episode will help you breathe again and trust that your instincts were right all along.
