Podcast interview with Katie Cortés on Finding ways of improving sleep for everybody.

Colleen Wilson is a registered midwife for 30 years and the creator of Nurtured Mums. Nurtured Mums’ mission is to provide education to pregnant couples about the postnatal period to come and support the new family for the first 6 weeks following the birth of their baby. It is tailored to meet the unique needs of mum and her baby with an emphasis on evidence-based care along with traditional postpartum practices such as healing nutrition, belly-binding, use of aromatherapy and massage.

I chat with Newborn Mothers educator Katie Cortes from Katie's Babies, who teaches the module on sleep in our Postpartum Education and Care Professional training. Together we discuss Katie's transition from supporting mothers as a midwife to helping them find peace as a sleep consultant. At the core of this conversation, we explore the importance of adjusting our expectations around newborn sleep and tailoring our approach to the needs of the mother and family.
