Summary

Somewhere along the way, modern parenting turned into a battle against biology. In this powerful conversation, Britt Chambers—founder of Good Night Moon Child—joins Ginny Yurich on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast to dismantle the myth that babies need to be trained to fit adult schedules. She reveals how industrialized culture, profit-driven baby products, and pressure for independence have pulled parents away from nature’s original design: deep, intuitive connection. Together, they explore what it really means to raise the baby with the mother—to rest when your baby rests, to nurture at night and thrive in the day, to trust the signals instead of suppress them. From night waking to outdoor rhythms to the quiet rebellion of slowing down, this episode invites parents to remember what our ancestors never forgot: children who stay close to nature stay close to themselves.

0:00.0	Welcome to the 1000 Hours Outside podcast. My name is Ginny Urge. I'm the founder of 1000
0:03.8	Hours Outside. And a person I admire so much is here with us today from Good Night Moonchild.
0:10.9	Britt Chambers, welcome. Oh, thank you so much, Jenny. It's such an honor to be here.
0:15.1	The admiration is mutual.
0:16.9	Aw, you are a powerful force in the world because there are a lot of powerful forces that are
0:21.9	trying to undermine the instincts of mothers. And it matters so much. It matters so much. I feel
0:29.5	gutted about some of the things I didn't know or I learned too late. Sometimes you do learn
0:36.1	things too late and the damage is done and you cannot go back and change
0:40.1	those decisions.
0:41.0	Can you talk about your path toward pushing toward this instinctual mothering toward helping people
0:47.2	remember that the baby isn't broken and neither are your instincts as a mom?
0:51.7	Yes, the path goes all the way back to my own birth, as in the birth of me,
0:56.7	not the birth of my children. So I was born to two parents who were high school sweethearts
1:02.8	and really, really big lovers. I was actually born in upstate New York, in Rochester, New York.
1:07.6	And in the era that I was born, there was only so much information. And my parents
1:12.5	did find information about infant sleep that would have been helpful late. So they were going
1:18.9	off of the dominant paradigm. They were going off of what they knew, what their friends did,
1:22.3	what their neighbors did, what the pediatrician recommended. And they were doing that from
1:26.7	the intention of benefiting our whole family.
1:31.1	That's what they thought they were doing. They didn't think they were doing anything wrong,
1:33.7	of course, like what parent does, right? We're all seeking information that's supported for the
1:38.3	whole family. But I was born a really sensitive being like many babies are. All babies have the same biological needs at birth, right?
