hi, I'm jen (she/her)
We had sleep challenges, feeding challenges, healing challenges and mood challenges despite knowing so much. Enter.....
The place where I learned to get comfy with the real-time, real-life choices that made a difference in my well-being, not the idea of how I thought I would do it.
I supported new families for a decade before having my own baby & WOW, it was still a rocky transition.

There are alot of different people in the world. That means that there are alot of different people giving the advice and alot of different situations where certain advice will be helpful. None of the advice is WRONG, but it might not be right for you (and that's confusing).
Why is there SO much conflicting advice?
Everyone is speaking from their own lens and often lenses are limited. Most mainstream advice falls into very black and white thinking but human development and humans IN GENERAL are veeeeeeerrrrrry grey.
Why are people giving advice that isn't RIGHT for US?
Grey is all the space between black & white. The area that's not clear. It's not straightforward, and is based on (but not limited to) a combination of factors that include, goals, preferences, development, temperament, physical capabilities & mental health.
What does "grey" mean?
The MiddleRoad Philosophy is based off of two very specific discoveries...
All of the conflicting advice isn't wrong. It just might not be right for you.
Two opposite things can be true at the same time.
So what does all of this mean for parenting?
It means that we have to figure out how to balance the realities of how infants feed, sleep & develop (biologically attached) with the realities of our individualistic modern day lives-because BOTH. REALITIES. ARE. TRUE.
