Feeling Stuck with a Fussy Baby? I’ve Got You, Mama 💕


Hey there, Mama,

Happy New Year, Reader!

A new year can feel like a new, fresh start and an opportunity to become our best self...

But if you have a new baby, it's just not always so easy.

Let’s be real: some days, you feel like a superhero, and other days… your baby’s cries feel like kryptonite. We’ve all been there. It’s those moments when nothing seems to work—when you’ve tried rocking, feeding, singing, and even that silly dance you swore would never see the light of day (you know the one).

I see you. I’ve been you. And I want to help.

That’s why I just put together The Ultimate Guide to Calming Your Fussy Baby—a no-judgment, practical resource packed with tips and tricks to soothe even the toughest tears. Whether it’s a gassy belly, a skipped nap, or just one of those mysterious baby moods, this guide has got you covered.

Inside the blog, you’ll find:
Simple strategies to bring back the calm (and your sanity)
Signs to watch for when your baby might be trying to tell you something
Game-changing tips from a seasoned mom and labor nurse (yep, that’s me 😉)

I’m sharing the tools I’ve learned on as a mom of three and a birth educator who has helped so many mamas navigate these tough moments.

So, grab your coffee (or your cold sip of whatever you didn’t finish earlier), and click right over to The Ultimate Guide to Calming Your Fussy Baby. You’ll be so glad you did.

Because guess what? You’re not just “figuring it out”—you’re rocking it, one snuggle at a time.

Hang in there, Mama. You’ve got this, and I’ve got your back.

Happy New Year!

Xo,
Heather

Hey friend, I got so many beautiful responses to my letter yesterday - thank you for all the love and support. ❤️ You know, getting responses really lit me up and got me feeling even more motivated to provide you the content you need. The thing about me is feedback is fuel. Sometimes it feels like I'm talking into a void and no one is actually listening... ...but I know for a fact that this is a lie. Ever since the very beginning of my blogging journey, I've always gotten emails and DMs of...

Hey friend, It’s been a while since we’ve talked. I mean really talked. Like heart-to-heart, me to you, real talk that isn't me teaching you something about birth. I know it hasn't necessarily been a while since you received an email from me, but yet, it has been a while since you’ve received an email from me. You know what I mean? You see, I haven’t really shown up with my own voice for what feels like an eternity. Today I am going to share a story with you that is raw and honest. My hope is...

Hey Reader, After over a decade of helping women during the birth of their babies as a labor and delivery nurse, I've learned a lot... Today I looked back at some of the very first pieces of advice that I shared with moms online in the very early days of sharing birth education online...and do you know what I found? I found that the advice I gave then—as a brand new birth educator who'd only been a nurse for a handful of years—is still relevant today. ...is the same advice I would give today....
