  • 215. How to Know If It's Time to Wean Night Feedings (Without Feeling Guilty)
    Nov 25 2025

    Night wakings can be one of the most confusing parts of early parenting — especially when you're wondering whether your baby is waking out of hunger or habit. In this episode, Allison Egidi tackles one of the most common questions she gets as a certified sleep consultant: How do I know when my baby is ready to sleep through the night without feeding?

    Allison shares:

    • The difference between true hunger and habitual night wakings

    • Her experience helping her own daughter (and thousands of client families) through the night-weaning process

    • Typical milestones that suggest your baby may be ready to drop night feedings

    • How to gradually and gently reduce night feeds without guilt

    • Signs that it may be too soon to wean — and when to check in with your pediatrician

    • Why night feeding rhythms can stick around longer than necessary and how to reset them

    You'll leave this episode with a framework for night weaning that feels compassionate, evidence-informed, and tailored to your baby's readiness — not someone else's timeline.

  • 214. Traveling, Hosting & Dining Out Gluten-Free During the Holidays
    Nov 18 2025

    Navigating the holidays can be tricky — and if you or someone you love is gluten-free, it can feel downright overwhelming. From family dinners and cookie swaps to travel days and potlucks, gluten seems to pop up everywhere.

    In this episode, Allison shares her personal system for staying gluten-free through the holiday season without missing out on the fun or driving yourself crazy. Drawing from her own experience living with Hashimoto's and managing gluten sensitivity, she offers simple, realistic strategies to help you feel prepared, confident, and at ease — no matter what's on the menu.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • How to travel stress-free with simple "rescue snacks" and planning tips

    • How to communicate with family and hosts about being gluten-free (without feeling guilty or apologetic)

    • Why it helps to eat something beforehand when you're unsure what food will be served

    • Easy ways to recreate your favorite holiday dishes with gluten-free swaps

    • What to do if gluten sneaks in — and how Allison manages accidental exposure

    • A mindset shift that makes navigating food restrictions feel lighter and more empowering

    Whether you're newly gluten-free or hosting someone who is, this episode will help you plan ahead, enjoy the holidays, and keep your peace of mind intact.
