Women are so ingrained to basically give away their authority to the people around them.

And so I think that's the beginning of all of it. I think it really fosters disconnection. It fosters disconnection from mother and baby.

Welcome to the show everyone. I'm Fallon and my co-host Corey and I were so honored to sit down with the

lovely Taylor Kulik today to discuss how we can support biologically appropriate infant sleep and on our mom's rest needs in the process.

Today we're going to dive into holistically supporting your sleep and offer really practical tips to help foster rest in your home even as a new mom. We cover several factors that play into a new baby sleep and as usual are asking the question what is biologically normal for this topic how did

moms and babies historically handle sleep and what we want you to know is that while we will offer sleep training alternatives this episode is in no way an anti-slee

training episode. Rather, it's a way to offer information that moms might not be

receiving from their children's primary care providers because we want to help empower you as a mom while fostering a safe place for your baby to rest.

Now it's no secret that what we eat during the day has the opportunity to greatly affect sleep.

And if you've been a listener for a while, I'm sure you're familiar with this idea that night waking for mom can often come back to her nourishment. Our liver, for example, can only store so much glycogen throughout the night. And we often need a pre-bed snack to help support

those energy levels as well as making sure we're eating enough nutrient-dense foods throughout the day

and then we can use small steps like cutting off caffeine after a certain point of day.

You guys probably know that we love our coffee around here. I would never wish any new mom to go without it,

but we can approach it wisely. So drinking it after our breakfast or with our breakfast, never is our first form of food or drink for the day. We can use it as a morning stimulant instead of relying on it throughout the day. And then of course we want to prioritize quality coffee. We are

fortunate to have my all-time favorite coffee brand, purity coffee sponsoring

today's episode and I always tell people that purity is the coffee that allowed me to drink coffee again.

If you've heard my story, you know that I was coffee free for about five years because I just could

not tolerate it well.

And it turns out what I really needed was to drink it in a metabolically supportive way, which includes having enough nourishment before I consume it and consistently in my life, adding a good quality fat and carb like raw cream and maple syrup and then I want to use

coffee that has been mold tested and is organic. There's a lot of organic

coffee on the market but testing for mold and micro toxins is something

purity coffee is really spearheading.
