In this episode, I sit down with Emily Silver and Jamie O'Day, co-founders of NAPS (Newborn and Parenting Support), to discuss the challenges of new parenthood and the importance of personalized, judgment-free support for parents. Emily and Jamie share their experiences as labor and delivery nurses, which led them to identify a crucial gap in postpartum care and ultimately inspired the creation of NAPS, provide advice on how to find the support you need, enlighten us on the reality of baby-friendly hospitals, and get honest about new motherhood.
Key Takeaway / Points:
- The origin story of NAPS and its evolution from overnight care to comprehensive parenting support
- Night shift experiences in labor and delivery and how they shaped Emily and Jamie's approach
- Critique of "baby-friendly" hospital policies and their impact on new mothers
- The pervasive judgment and guilt in parenting decisions
- How can we identify trusted sources for parenting advice?
- The concept of "human giver syndrome" and its effect on mothers
- Why is accessible healthcare support crucial for new parents?
- How can we filter unsolicited parenting advice?
- What would "mom-friendly" hospitals look like?
- The importance of personalized care in the postpartum period
