221: Dr. Pamela Douglas - What's the best way to raise a baby?
Dr Pamela Douglas is an Australian GP, researcher, author, and an international leader in caring for parents and babies, with a special interest in perinatal mental health and breastfeeding medicine.
Over the past 20 years, Pam has published the evidence base to the programs known as Neuroprotective Developmental Care (NDC, or 'The Possums Programs'), translating the research into education programs offering a paradigm shift in the way we help families who face breastfeeding, baby sleep, and cry-fuss challenges. Her groundbreaking work is detailed in 30 international research publications and her best-selling book, The Discontented Little Baby Book. In this conversation, we discuss how to optimize infant development, parental well-being, and grow joy in early life. Pam emphasizes the importance of experimentation and frequent, flexible breastfeeding in the early days and also discusses the Gestalt method of fit and hold.
In terms of sleep, Pam acknowledges the polarizing nature of the sleep training debate and highlights the need for individualized approaches to sleep based on the unique needs of the baby and family. We also discuss the importance of understanding the biological needs of babies when it comes to sleep, emphasizing that sleep distress in our society is often caused by societal and health system-induced beliefs and practices that are not evidence-based. Pam highlights the variability in babies' sleep needs and advocates for a more evolutionary and intuitive approach to parenting that focuses on meeting babies' sensory and motor needs.

219: Dr. Lyndsey Hookway - What must I know about babies and sleep?
Dr. Lyndsey Hookway is a pediatric nurse, researcher, author, lactation consultant, and advocate for gentle parenting practices. Lyndsey believes that sleep is an art and a science influenced by various factors such as relationships, stress, and social interaction. She challenges the cultural trend of actively managing sleep through non-responsive approaches like cry-it-out methods, emphasizing the importance of communication and responsiveness in parenting.
The amount of sleep a newborn needs can vary greatly, from 8 to 18 hours a day, so it is important for parents to understand their baby's individual sleep needs and cues. Lyndsey encourages parents to focus on the present relationship with their child and make informed choices.

218: BONUS - Whapio + Kendra - How do we bring more consciousness to birth?
In this bonus conversation, Whapio Diane Bartlett, a birth expert with over 40 years of experience, joins my partner, Kendra Adachi, and me to discuss our upcoming birthing experience. Whapio discusses the need for deeply connected women who can provide support and reassurance without interfering in the birthing process. She also highlights the shift towards women and families wanting their own birth experience and the desire for mentoring rather than management.
The conversation explores the importance of honoring the natural process of birth and the role of the father as an advocate and supporter. It underscores the sacredness and wisdom of the birthing experience and the need to trust the body's instincts, touching on the emotional challenges and doubts that arise during pregnancy. Overall, this chat provides reassurance, wisdom, and guidance for our upcoming birth and initiation into parenthood.
Whapio has been an independent midwife and educator since 1985. In 2001, she founded The Matrona, an online portal providing entry-level holistic education for midwives, doulas, and birth attendants. The focus and curriculum are centered on melding the intuitive with the academic and the mystical with the intelligent.
