In this episode of Doula Talk, Doula Deb takes on one of the most common misconceptions about newborn sleep: the idea that newborns can be "coached" to sleep better. Spoiler alert: they can’t! Deb compassionately explains why sleep coaching isn’t appropriate for newborns and what tired parents can do instead to foster better rest for their little ones—and themselves.

Here’s why this episode is a must-listen:

1. Myth-Busting, Simplified: Deb dives into why newborns don’t need sleep coaching.
2. Practical Solutions for Better Rest: Parents will love Deb’s gentle, easy-to-follow strategies for supporting newborn sleep.
3. Permission to Snuggle: Deb gives exhausted parents the ultimate permission slip: hold, rock, and comfort your baby as much as you want without fear of creating bad habits.
4. Extra Resources: Doula Deb doesn’t just leave you with advice—she’s included downloadable handouts on sleepy cues and the “5 S’s,” plus recommendations for her favorite swaddle blankets.

If you’re craving a dose of expert guidance with a side of encouragement, this episode will leave you feeling supported, informed, and ready to embrace the newborn stage with confidence. Tune in and share it with every sleep-deprived parent you know—because you’re not just surviving, you’re building a foundation of love and trust.
