About this listen

If you’ve ever found yourself Googling “is this normal?” in the middle of the night, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Ashley breaks down some of the most common baby behaviors that cause parents stress, anxiety, and second-guessing — and explains why many of them are actually developmentally normal. Normal doesn’t always mean easy, but understanding what’s typical can help reduce unnecessary worry in those early months.

In this episode, we cover:
  • Why newborn sleep can be surprisingly noisy

  • The truth about short naps in the first few months

  • What cluster feeding really means (and what it doesn’t)

  • Why wanting to be held isn’t a “bad habit”

  • Why you might be concerned if Baby sleeps too long

Whether you’re pregnant, in the newborn stage, or supporting someone who is, this episode will help you feel more confident and less alone.
