Best of: My Child is Having Nightmares

If you have a newborn, then you're no stranger to your little one's weird, jerky movements. Thankfully, those crazy moves are completely normal. In fact, these infant reflexes are designed to protect your baby and keep him safe. So, what can you expect as a new parent? What happens during the moro reflex, sucking reflex, and the root reflex? Will your child always have them or will they eventually go away?

Know Your Infant Reflexes

What if your reactivity isn’t a failure… but a pattern your nervous system learned to keep you safe?



In this powerful conversation, Wendy sits down with applied neurology and somatic practitioner, Elisabeth Kristof, to unpack why so many parents keep reacting in ways they don’t want to, and why it’s not their fault.



They explore how trauma lives in the body as patterns, not just past events, and how your nervous system is constantly shaping your reactions before your logical brain has a chance to step in. From yelling and shutting down to overreacting or giving in, these responses often come from deeply wired survival loops.



You’ll also learn how emotional suppression keeps those patterns alive, and how simple, daily nervous system practices can begin to shift them.



This episode is a hopeful reminder that you’re not broken, you’re wired, and with the right tools, you can create real, lasting change.

A new baby changes everything. Your "crazy night on the town" now means you've got the kids in tow.

Overcoming Isolation with a New Baby

Feeding your baby can feel like one of the most emotionally loaded parts of early parenthood—and for many families, the conversation around formula feeding is still wrapped in stigma and silence. In this episode, Deb speaks with Jayne Freeman, a childbirth educator, postpartum doula, and breastfeeding counselor who is passionate about expanding the narrative around infant feeding. Together, they explore how cultural expectations have shifted over time and how today’s “breast is best” messaging can sometimes leave parents feeling pressured, judged, or unsupported.



Jayne shares why she made the uncommon choice to openly support and educate families about formula feeding, and how this approach helps restore confidence and autonomy to new parents. The conversation dives into the evolution of infant formula, how to navigate the overwhelming number of options available today, and where parents can turn for balanced, nonjudgmental guidance.



At its core, this episode is about meeting families where they are—offering reassurance that feeding your baby in a way that supports your mental health, lifestyle, and well-being is not just acceptable, but worthy of normalization.
