Knowing that our babies are sleeping in a safe environment is a big concern for all parents. As much as we want to, we can’t watch them 24/7. So what can we do to make sure that we are providing as safe a sleep environment as possible? The first step is to improve our safe sleep education.

Before I start, I need to give a shout out to a few people that made my labor and delivery an unforgettable and dreamy experience. To my momma- because she’s my best friend. To my sister- for telling me I’m stronger than I think and that I’m not allowed to wuss out! (HA! But seriously, totally happened.) To the Willow Birth Center team- You give women the opportunity to birth the way they want! I’m blessed to have found you amazing ladies. To my doula, Alyssa– it was fate that we found you! She guided me, encouraged me, and helped me through my labor and delivery. And of course, to my husband- you never left my side (besides to leave the room to fart- THANK YOU!!) You let me hold on to you, squeeze you, and laugh with you. You helped me create this beautiful human being, and bring him earth side. I couldn’t be more grateful.
