I had such a powerful and heartfelt conversation with Cara Dumaplin, the CEO & Founder of Taking Cara Babies. 

Cara shared her deeply personal journey—from her background as a neonatal nurse and wife of a pediatrician to her own struggles with sleep deprivation as a new mom. What I loved most about this interview is how Cara took her hardest moments, the valleys of her life, and turned them into seeds that grew into a mission to help parents everywhere.

We talked about how sleep impacts not only babies but the entire family, and how Cara’s work is about so much more than swaddles or schedules—it’s about empowering parents to believe in themselves, find grace in the learning process, and realize they are the true experts of their own children. Her wisdom, compassion, and dedication shine through every word.

Here are a few highlights from our conversation:

 

• How Cara’s darkest moments as a new mom inspired her mission

 

• Why helping parents get just a few extra hours of sleep is life-changing

 

• The philosophy behind Taking Cara Babies: empowering parents as the experts

 

• Practical guidance for parents at any stage, from newborns to toddlers

 

• Why grace, compassion, and presence are essential in parenting

 

Join me, Ramon Vela, as I listen to this episode and hear how Cara is transforming the lives of parents and babies with wisdom, heart, and hope.
