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 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...
