When Today’s Parent reached out to me about sleep positions after giving birth, I was thrilled to share one of my favorite pieces of practical postpartum advice: side-lying sleep. It’s a simple shift that reduces pressure on healing tissues, supports circulation, and helps new parents find relief. But while the article covered the basics beautifully, there’s more I want to add from my own years of experience supporting families through the raw, tender days after birth.

I’m honored to have been quoted in a recent Family Education article on baby name regret, a topic that touches more parents than we often realize. Naming your baby is such a tender, meaningful decision—and sometimes, once your baby is here, the name you thought was perfect no longer feels like the right fit.

One of the reasons babies cry is because they miss the womb. Can you blame them?
