Are you pregnant & nervous about breastfeeding because you’ve heard it can be painful or don’t know how to support milk supply? Are you a new mom dealing with sore nipples and painful breastfeeding but all the doctors & lactation consultants told you ”the latch looks fine” and didn’t give you any answers? Maybe you’re feeling anxious about low milk supply and you’re worried about being enough for your baby.
When breastfeeding is hard, it can steal the joy from postpartum, make it hard to bond with your baby, and leave you feeling lost, confused, and alone.

64 | Newborn Sleep Made Peaceful Without Sleep Training: Safe Co-Sleeping Tips with Taylor McKay, Holistic Sleep Coach
Are you struggling to sleep because your newborn only wants to sleep on your chest? Do you keep finding yourself falling asleep with your baby, feeling guilty and frustrated?
In this episode, we’re breaking the taboo around co-sleeping, bed-sharing, and safe infant sleep—without the guilt, shame, or fear that mainstream advice so often stirs up.
Join Jaimie Zaki, IBCLC and mom of five, and her guest Taylor McKay, a holistic sleep coach based in Canada, as they unpack what real-life sleep looks like for new mothers—and how to make it safe, biologically normal, and confidence-building.
You’ll learn how to protect your peace, your milk supply, and your baby’s safety—without resorting to sleep-training or fighting your natural instincts.
🔎 In this episode, we cover:
Safe co-sleeping and bed-sharing practices backed by evidence and maternal intuition
How to create a safe sleep space for your newborn—whether you use a crib, bassinet, or share your bed
What to do when exhaustion hits hard postpartum and “just don’t sleep with your baby” stops being realistic
Common myths about co-sleeping safety that every mom deserves to hear the truth about
Reducing risk of SIDS and infant suffocation deaths
Practical tips for safely bed-sharing while breastfeeding so everyone actually gets rest
Why listening to your intuition matters more than rigid sleep rules
Balancing family dynamics when your partner or relatives don’t understand co-sleeping
