Hi there,
The day has finally arrived! We are so excited to share that the very first episode of The Tiny Big Joys is officially out in the world.
If you’ve ever felt like you were "failing" at baby sleep because you couldn't stick to a rigid schedule, this episode is a deep exhale just for you.
Episode 01: Baby Sleep Without Rules
Guest: Lauren Weber (Founder of Isla Grace Sleep)
In this debut episode, we sit down with baby sleep expert Lauren Weber to uncover what no one tells new moms. We’re moving away from the "rules" and moving back toward the one thing most experts leave out: trusting yourself.
After listening this episode myself, I felt this is an episode all new parents should listen and I am sure you will love it!
What we’re diving into:
- The Self-Soothing Myth: Why babies aren't developmentally capable of regulating their emotions until ages 5–7.
- Schedules vs. Rhythms: Why your baby needs a flexible flow rather than a rigid clock.
- The 10-Minute Rule: If it takes longer than 10 minutes to get your baby down, they probably aren't tired yet!
- Safe Bed Sharing: How to follow the "Safe Sleep 7" to make sleep safer for the whole family.
- Radical Acceptance: Understanding that sleep is biological—you can support it, but you can’t control it.
What We Believe At The Tiny Big Joys
At the heart of this podcast is a simple truth: every family and every baby is different. What works for your neighbor might not be the right path for you, and that is perfectly okay.
This is why we hope to bring you a full season dedicated to baby sleep in the future. We want to explore and share many different perspectives and ways of parenting so that you have the information you need to choose what works best for your unique family
