This episode is sponsored by Mimic Motion. Introducing Mimic Motion: The Ultimate Baby Sleep Solution For generations, parents have relied on car rides to lull their babies to sleep. The gentle hum of the engine, the rhythmic motion of the road, and the soothing vibrations create the perfect environment for a peaceful nap. But what if you could recreate that magic at home? Enter Mimic Motion, the baby sleep aid designed to bring the car ride experience directly to your nursery. To find out more visit: https://mimicmotion.co.uk/ In this episode… We dive into a conversation around baby tech, sleep, and innovation — and asking some critical questions along the way. We speak with the founder of Mimic Motion, discussing the role of technology in parenting – specifically around aiding sleep, and ultimately creating an optimal sleeping environment for babies – whether that is for your baby at home, or in an educational, care or health setting. We acknowledge that tech in parenting, and education and care is a layered topic — full of potential, but also full of health related, developmental and ethical questions.

A tough topic but an important one today — Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID), which includes Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), is the leading cause of mortality in infancy. We always want to help families understand the ways they can reduce the risks of SIDS, we also work with families who are using products that are often marketed towards the idea of reducing SIDS but are actually causing a lot of anxiety for parents. Sleep is a really big challenge for a lot of families with young babies but following safe sleep recommendations can prevent many SIDS fatalities. Read More on SIDS HEREErin Junker | Paediatric Sleep ConsultantInstagram @thehappysleepcompanyWebsite www.thehappysleepcompany.com

Welcome to Part 3 of White Noise for Your Baby! In Part 3, all the stars are tucked into bed as Papa Moon rests near by; everyone enjoying a great night of sleep! This time with 8 hours of white noise sounds! While playing white noise for babies, it's important to keep tabs on the volume, because any white noise machine, smartphone, or computer can put out levels that are too loud for your child. It's recommended to play the sound at least a few feet from where your infant is sleeping and to keep the volume no louder than the sound of a soft shower. Parents can download an app to turn their smartphone into a sound level meter. One good, free, option is the sound level meter app created by the U.S. National Institutes for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) available on the app store as the NIOSH SLM app. Here are some great products to help you sleep!

The research on sleep training has many limitations that are often not discussed in mainstream narratives around sleep training. In this episode I'm joined by Jess of the infant sleep scientist, to talk about sleep training research. We discuss the challenges in reading research, and how sleep training research has historically been very separate from other important areas like attachment, development, and sleep science. We dig into what the research says about sleep training safety and effectiveness and talk about what the research says and doesn't say. We also discuss how research is important but your instincts as a parent do not need to be validated by the research. They are valid, powerful, and important no matter what the research says.About JessDr Jessica Guy has a PhD in developmental psychology and is a certified Infant and Family Sleep Specialist, and has 14 years combined research and professional experience in sleep, infant and child development, and parent support and education.Jess is passionate about breaking down the science when it comes to all things sleep and development so parents are empowered to make informed decisions in alignment with their values.Connect with Hollie and Birth BootcampIG: @infantsleepscientist Website: www.infantsleepscientist.comEmail: jess@infantsleepscientist.comResources related to this episodeCheck out my blog post critiquing sleep training research:https://intuitiveparentingdc.com/blog/2022/5/5/sleep-training-research-unpacking-sleep-training-cultureConnect with KimGrab a free sleep myth busting guide and learn more about working with Kim:https://intuitiveparentingdc.com/Instagram: instagram.com/intuitive_parenting_dcFacebook:  facebook.com/intuitiveparentingdc

Hello and is it too late to still say Happy New Year?! Cynthia & Trisha are back with the first Q&A of 2024 in season five of the Down to Birth Show! We kick it off today by sharing some of your highs and lows from the holiday season. Next, we get into our questions beginning with a mother who had low milk supply with her first baby and wonders what she can do in pregnancy and birth to prevent it from happening again; one curious listener wants to know if she can check her own cervix to help determine at what point she should go to the hospital; another caller asks us to explain why due dates are based on your last menstrual period rather than your ovulation date--what happens to those two weeks? In our extended version, available on Apple subscriptions and Patreon, we first answer a question about normal, healthy sleep patterns for infants and the pressure mothers face to have the baby "sleep through the night." Then we answer if and when "cervical massage" is indicated for a cervix that might be scarred from a previous cervical procedure. Another mom is concerned that her midwives missed a case of early jaundice in her newborn and inquires if getting the RhoGAM shot in pregnancy could have prevented the jaundice. Finally, one mother explains her OB's behavior around her choice to have a VBAC and we chime in with our take on his audacity!Last, we close with a round of quickies addressing morning sickness, postpartum hemorrhage, GBS swabbing, IUGR and the strangest things we've ever eaten!Thank you for your great questions and keep them coming at 802-438-3696 or 802-GET-DOWN.**********Down to Birth is sponsored by:Modern Nursery--Your one-stop shop for eco-friendly, stylish baby gearDrinkLMNT -- Purchase LMNT with this link today and receive a free sample kit.Silverette Nursing Cups -- Soothe and heal sore nipples with 925 silver nursing cups.Postpartum Soothe -- Herbs and padsicles to heal and comfort.Needed -- Optimal nutritional products to nourish yourself before, during, and after pregnancy Connect with us on Patreon for our exclusive content.Email Contact@DownToBirthShow.comInstagram @downtobirthshowCall us at 802-GET-DOWN Work with Cynthia: 203-952-7299 HypnoBirthingCT.com Work with Trisha: 734-649-6294 Please remember we don't provide medical advice.

In this week's episode of the Balancing Chaos podcast, Kelley welcomes Taylor Kulik, an advocate for families who choose not to sleep train their infants. Taylor is an occupational therapist turned holistic sleep consultant with a passion for non-toxic living, homeschooling, and snuggling babies all night. Years ago, Taylor was struggling with trusting what she knew was best for her children, and was consumed by fear-based parenting. This experience led to her passion for sharing her experiences and education with other parents who are going through the same journey to help lead them from fear to freedom.Today, Kelley and Taylor discuss the concept of self-soothing and how babies are not capable of self-regulation. Instead, babies are meant to co-regulate and borrow calm from a calm caregiver. They discuss how certain types of sleep training can raise cortisol levels in infants, insights on infant sleep and how to bed share safely, how co-sleeping benefits mental health for both parents and children, how to transition children into their own beds, and the most common reasons beyond children that adults aren't sleeping well or deal with insomnia. To learn more about co-sleeping and improving sleep for both baby and parents, tune into this episode! To connect with Taylor, click HERETo connect with Kelley, click HERETo get 20% off Kelley's Health and Hormones Course + a FREE Lab Review click HERE and use code BALANCINGCHAOS20To get 10% off Kelley's WBK method app with your annual membership, click HERE and use code BALANCINGCHAOS

Today I'm joined by infant sleep consultant, founder of care it out and nanny of 20 years, Kerry Secker. Navigating sleep with our kids can be challenging, it can also be confusing, and often parents are told that the only thing that'll work is to leave their babies and kids to cry themselves to sleep, and their child will magically sleep through the night. Kerry has had such a unique journey into parenthood. She was a nanny for 20 years, then began working with families to help them find gentle ways to navigate their little ones' sleep, and then a little later in life, became a parent. We unpick all of this in today's episode. So if you're struggling with your little ones' sleep, or if want to hear what life was like for Kerry as she transitioned into parenthood after 2 decades of looking after kids for other families. This episode is for you.

The common advice about infant sleep many parents think is beneficial could actually be doing more harm than good. Join us as we debunk the myths of sleep training with our guest, Taylor Kulick, a renowned sleep consultant, parenting educator, and occupational therapist. Drawing from her own experiences, Taylor helps us navigate the delicate postpartum period, discussing safe bed sharing and the importance of setting realistic expectations about a baby's sleep patterns.In this episode, we talk about: The fascinating history of sleep training, a practice that emerged during the industrial revolution and has remained popular due to societal pressures and lack of support for mothers and babies. The emotional realm of parenting, as Taylor lends her expertise on navigating feelings of shame that arise when one's parenting approach diverges from the norm. The consequences of a non-responsive sleep-training approach and how to respond to a baby's cries in a beneficial way while also exploring how both mom and baby can get their sleep needs met. This is an eye-opening conversation that challenges the preconceived notions many of us hold about baby sleep and the mainstream definition of sleep training with a unique perspective and a tailored approach for each baby's individual needs.** For more JUICY tips and resources visit: https://postpartumu.com/redefining-infant-sleep-with-taylor-kulik-ep-123/

Sudden unexplained infant death, commonly known SUID, SIDS or crib death, affects approximately 3,400 infants each year. Sudden unexpected infant deaths usually occur when an infant is sleeping, and causes can include suffocation, unknown infection, ingestion and other unknown causes. Not only has there been minimal improvement in rates of sleep-related deaths over the past two decades, but racial and ethnic disparities in SUID persist, including increased mortality rates. These disparities are indicative of the broader landscape of inequities within our healthcare systems. Today, we are talking about how providers and healthcare professionals can educate families and help them catch early signs of SUID.  Guests: Sunah Hwang, MD, is a neonatologist at Children's Hospital Colorado and an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Udoko Aniekanabasi, MD, is a neonatal-perinatal medicine fellow at Children's Hospital Colorado.  For more information on Children's Hospital Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org

In this episode, Kimberly and Greer discuss her upcoming book “The Nurture Revolution: Grow Your Baby's Brain and Transform Their Mental Health Through the Art of Nurtured Parenting.” Greer discusses combining her work as a doula, neuroscientist, and sleep specialist after completing research on infant sleep. She proposes “nurtured parenting” as a revolution that tends to the complex emotions and stressors of both parents and infants. With tending to these needs and co-regulation, parents can help babies develop better stress responses in their brains.   Bio Greer Kirshenbaum PhD is an Author, Neuroscientist, Doula, Infant and Family Sleep Specialist and Mother. She trained at the University of Toronto, Columbia University, New York University and Yale University. Greer has combined her academic training with her experience as a doula and mother to lead The Nurture Revolution. A movement to nurture our babies' brains to revolutionize mental health and impact larger systems in our world. Greer wants families and perinatal practitioners to understand how early caregiving experience can boost mental wellness and diminish depression, anxiety, and addiction in adulthood by shaping babies' brains through simple intuitive enriching experiences in pregnancy, birth and infancy. Her book is called The Nurture Revolution: Grow Your Baby's Brain and Transform Their Mental Health Through the Art of Nurtured Parenting.

My guest is Eddie Chang, MD, a neurosurgeon and professor of neurological surgery at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the co-director of the Center for Neural Engineering & Prostheses. We discuss the brain mechanisms underlying speech, language learning and comprehension, communicating human emotion with words and hand gestures, bilingualism and language disorders, such as stuttering. Dr. Chang also explains his work developing and applying state-of-the-art technology to decode speech and using that information and artificial intelligence (AI) to successfully restore communication to patients who have suffered paralyzing injuries or “locked in syndrome.” We also discuss his work treating patients with epilepsy. Finally, we consider the future: how modern neuroscience is overturning textbook medical books, the impact of digital technology such as smartphones on language and the future of natural and computer-assisted human communication.
