Welcome to the midwife memos, raw educational and inspiring chats. Exploring all things, conception, pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Each week, we'll dive into a memo on a particular topic, tap into the brains of birthing experts and share stories. I'm your host, Lauretta birth educator, midwife and mum, and I'm on a mission to support women and their partners to build a strong mindset, connect with their body and give birth their way. So come along with me as I overshare the real and vulnerable talent like it is, and guide you through how to feel confident and capable for your birth & beyond.

The Memo on: What’s Normal for Baby Sleep with Hannah Willsmore

This week I’m joined by Hannah Willsmore — Midwife, Lactation consultant, Birth educator and NDC-accredited practitioner — for a reassuring, myth-busting conversation about infant sleep.

If you're pregnant my hope is that this episode supports you to go into the world of babies and sleep with realistic expectations, or if you’re already there - help you feel reassured and less worried that you or you baby are doing something wrong!

We chat about:

What’s actually 'normal' for baby sleep
The NDC/Possums holistic approach and why it’s so freeing (and supportive for mental health, feeding and sleep!)
The biggest myths that cause unnecessary stress for parents
How parents can actually support their babies sleep

This season of The Midwife Memos is sponsored by Sleepybelly—my go-to for better pregnancy sleep - check them out here Sleepybelly
