True Presence: Helping Overwhelmed Catholic Moms Design a life of Purpose and Presence | a Catholic Podcast

Today is the BABY SLEEP episode. Oh my goodness, is this one a hot topic! Who doesn't want a full night of sleep?

Andrea is a baby sleep consultant who takes a holistic approach to baby sleep. I don't know about you, but I get so frustrated with the mommy wars that pit one-size-fits-all methods against eachother. We're all crazy about our kids and we all need sleep.

Andrea has worked with hundreds of families (including mine!) to figure out the root cause of their babies' sleep challenges and help everyone in the family meet their need for sleep. She is also normalizing natural and healthy infant sleep patterns (which, spoiler alert, are unique to every kid!)

Whether your baby is a newborn, 6 month old, 9 month old or a year old, there is something for you in this episode.
