when my son was born, everyone had advice for me, to put him down, to give him a bottle, to move him into his own bed, and every time, something deep in me quietly said no. so I listened. my son has never once slept without knowing exactly where his mama is, and I moved across the world to Bali, away from my whole family, so I could raise him somewhere this way of mothering is normal.
most mamas don't get to do that. you're doing this with well-meaning family in your ear and a pediatrician telling you to sleep train, searching late at night for someone who understands.
I've walked a little further down this path than you, so I built the place I wish I'd had at the start, with the information that's so hard to find and a village of mamas who keep their babies close too. the experts I bring in are real experts, the mamas in here are real mamas, and I'd love for you to be one of them.
come in, mama.
