21) BABY SLEEP: Tiffany Lebano, RN, on The Science of Baby Sleep, The 4 Month Sleep Regression & Support for New Moms

Today's episode is SO special! We have TIffany Lebano, a Registered Nurse of 10 years with a BSN from Hopkins and a BSN in public health. She has been a pediatric nurse from the start of her career and has worn many hats in that time -- She's been a doula, worked in the NICU and in the pediatric ER. Tiffany LOVES all the work she has done and continues to do, but her most important job is being a mama to 3 littles -- all under the age of 4! Tiffany became a Mama Coach after her second postpartum experience when she realized there was a huge lack of support and an abundance of misinformation floating around. Even as a pediatric nurse, she felt unprepared for the wild ride of motherhood.    During her second pregnancy she set out on a mission to learn everything she needed to know to fill the gaps of what was missing the first time around (breastfeeding, pumping, bottles, formula, newborn sleep, regressions, teething- everything). This transformed her postpartum experience and, when she became the nurse-friend everyone was always texting asking their baby questions. she decided it was time to pivot and take things into her own hands.   TIffany offers support in many ways, as you'll hear in the episode, but the main takeaway is that if you're struggling at all with baby sleep, reach out to her! She would love to help, support, comfort, educate, and guide you --    HOW TO CONTACT TIFFANY:   Instagram: @themamacoach.tiffanylebano  Email: [email protected]  Website: HOME - TIFFANY LEBANO EPISODE SUMMARY: Chelsy shares her personal story of hiring a sleep consultant as a new mom and the transformative impact it had on her family's sleep.
