Over the past few years, I've spent countless hours caring for babies and encouraging parents through everything from those first newborn days to naps, feeding, sleep, and all the little questions in between. And somewhere along the way, I realized something.

When you're in the hospital, there's always someone nearby to answer your questions. Whether it's your nurse, a lactation consultant, or another member of your care team, you never really have to wonder what to do next.

Then you go home...

And all of a sudden, it's just you and this tiny little human.

The questions don't stop, they actually seem to multiply.

"Is this normal?"

"Should I wake them to eat?"

"Why won't they sleep unless I'm holding them?"

The internet has a million answers. Friends and family usually have a million more. But every baby is different, and sometimes what you really need isn't another opinion. You just want someone you trust to say, "Yep, that's normal," or "Let's try this."

That's why I started Tiny Yawns.

My hope is to be the person you can turn to when you get home and realize you could use a little more support. Maybe you planned for postpartum help from the beginning, or maybe you're a few days or weeks in and thinking, "I really wish I had someone I could ask about this." Either way, you don't have to have it all figured out before your baby arrives.

Tiny Yawns is here to meet you wherever you are in the newborn season, whether you need someone to answer the little questions, help you navigate a new challenge, offer hands-on support at home, or simply remind you that you're doing a great job.

Because babies don't come with instruction manuals... but that doesn't mean you have to figure it all out by yourself.
