You’re in the right place if you’re feeling…
You’re drowning in all the conflicting sleep advice. You’re tired of everyone telling you to sleep train your baby! You want to do what is right, but you’re not sure what that is. You’re feeling self doubt creeping in and it’s starting to impact your experience of motherhood.
You’re following your instincts and being responsive to your baby through the night. It feels right, but you feel alone. You’d like to find a village of like-minded parents who support and validate your nighttime parenting choices. And if you could find ways to get a little more sleep…that would be really nice!
You may have tried sleep training already and you’re wondering if there is another way. It just didn’t feel right for you. Maybe you bought a course that ended up being less gentle than it was described or you may have hired a sleep consultant and now find yourself regretting it. You’re in the right place!
When you become a parent it’s hard to miss everyone around you advocating for sleep training methods like cry-it-out (CIO), controlled crying, or spaced soothing, in fact you're almost drowning in the advice to sleep train.
Is everyone around you asking you to ignore your maternal hardwiring, bury your instincts and shut out what your baby is trying to communicate with you?
Do modern sleep training techniques feel completely foreign to you and do you long to find a nighttime parenting path that feels more aligned with your heart?
Are you tired of the constant unsolicited advice and questioning from your mother-in-law, the women at the park, the daycare worker, and everyone else with an opinion?
Does their commentary follow a familiar track?
“Is he sleeping through the night?”
“Have you tried putting her down drowsy but awake?”
“He should be self-soothing by now”
“Did you know sleep is critical to healthy brain development?”
"Oh she needs a longer nap, cat naps don’t count”
“Oh, he’s just manipulating you, dear. He’d got your wrapped around his tiny eight-week old little finger.”
You are discouraged to say the least. You feel as though your intuition is off.
But, it’s hard not to doubt yourself when those “good babies” are sleeping through the night. All the other mothers have the “guts to do it”. All the other parents are getting alone time with their partners. So you must be doing something wrong - right?!?
If you’re failing as a mother?
If your baby will ever be able to sleep alone?
Are your baby’s sleep patterns normal?
Will he ever fall asleep without nursing?
Are you creating bad habits?
Are your choices going to destroy your marriage?
What will your family say when they realise that you bedshare?
Will you ever feel less exhausted?
You might be constantly asking yourself...
You may be feeling a tug-of-war between your old life and this new life that nobody prepared you for. Afterall, no one told you just how intense a baby’s need for his mother truly is, how boundless your motherhood would feel.
Here you are simply trying to honour your baby’s needs—while striving to meet your own. You’re integrating with a new being. You’re learning how to let your guard down and allow this little creature to be wholly dependent on you; such an unfamiliar feeling after being so fiercely independent for so long.
It’s all such new territory.
LET YOUR INTUITION ROAR
But among it all you’re unwilling to tone down the growing roar of your own intuition. Unwilling to accept the loud lies our culture loves to repeat about infant sleep. Those sleep training lies that are packaged as the answer to all your problems.
“He’ll sleep with you.”, said our dry-humoured English midwife.
“What do you mean?”, I replied. “He’ll sleep in his expensive organic non-toxic crib I just ordered”.
“No”, she said. “He’ll sleep with you – I can tell.”
I walked out of our prenatal visit thinking our midwife was a little odd. But she’d aroused my curiosity, so I started reading about cosleeping and I couldn’t stop. One author suggested that babies were safest sleeping with their parents. That nighttime breastmilk contains hormones that help babies sleep. And that I could babywear my son for naps, while out and about enjoying our day.
Yes, I was tired…as all new mothers are. But I was getting more sleep than my friends whose babies were sleeping separately in cribs. I was joyful, happy and deeply connected to my baby in a way that affected those around us. Other mums started commenting, “what are you doing differently? I want to feel as happy as you look.”
Because the truth is that western society expects a parenting approach centred on an adult's wants rather than a baby's needs. But when we meet a baby's needs they thrive…and so do we. It’s where the magic happens. Pure unadulterated magic.
Because you know there is a BETTER way.
You know that mainstream sleep training advice just doesn’t feel right…and it shouldn’t. That is your intuition telling you “not this”.
My son has since outgrown his onesies and sprinted through toddlerhood into childhood, but I remain passionate about biologically normal infant sleep.
How do I ninja roll out of bed to get just a little “me time” at night?
How do my husband and I have intimacy when we’re bedsharing?
Am I creating a bad habit by breastfeeding to sleep?
Rested, no longer sleep-deprived, and able to care for yourself and those who need you
Connected to your baby throughout the night, and not lying in bed feeling hopelessly anxious
Informed of the real science regarding infant sleep that society likes to get twisted (often for the sake of big business)
Reassured that bedsharing or breastsleeping doesn’t mean sacrificing intimacy with your partner
Present and at ease, not distracted by endless doubt and googling

GOOD THINGS BEING SAID BY THE MAMA TRIBE
- DANIELLE C.
My child is doing the biologically normal thing when she wakes and nurses, and I am as well when I respond to her and nurse her and cuddle her and bed share with her. It took me 12 months to accept my instincts were right, and its thanks to RG that helped me get there.
- MORGAN W.
Thank you for creating this platform that empowers our instincts in this modern world where we're constantly having to face a new device that's trying to replace us moms. Without this community, I probably would have fallen into that trap and tried every device. But instead, I'm still breastfeeding a toddler all throughout the night and confidently educating others who tell me or other moms they should stop breastfeeding/co-sleeping/ following their instincts.
I'm Tracy
Hi there!
The mainstream often steers us in other directions, and that's where Raised Good comes in—a guide to embracing parenting that feels...well, natural. We're all sensing that the traditional ways might not be the best fit, and while I don't have all the answers, I'm here to ask the tough questions alongside you and advocate for our kids—and for you, their brave and extraordinary parents. Delving into the world of infant sleep with Nurtured Nights Academy has always been a dream, and I'm thrilled to share, connect, and explore restful possibilities from my forest-nestled island home to yours.
Over time, the Raised Good community has grown immensely, with over a million readers resonating with the message. While I no longer write to the backdrop of his baby naps, my passion and drive remain the same.
Further, infant sleep is something that I’m enduringly passionate about.
The bulk of this course is the result of my tireless and extensive research on sleep (think 200+ academic journals), including a plethora of completed trainings to become an Infant Sleep Educator (ISE).
Inside Nurtured Nights, I’m sharing my years of personal experience as a mum, my dedication to scientifically-based research, my countless hours pouring over academic journals, and my conversations with leading experts including Dr James McKenna and Prof. Helen Ball.
As seen in...
While there’s merit to this question because much of sleep training focuses on improving the parent’s lifestyle, rather than nurturing the child’s needs, the benefits to you and entire family are vast. What’s being taught in this course is underpinned by a combination of evidence and gentleness, and seeks to deepen your family’s bond, stop fighting biologically normal behaviors, and experience more ease and rest as a result. You’ll be able to stop second-guessing every decision and feel confident in the choices you’re making.
No, it is not. This course fosters a gentle approach with an emphasis on cosleeping/bedsharing.
Good question! The guides zero in on the science behind sleep and essentially share my summary of 200+ peer-reviewed journal articles on topics such as SIDS & safety, crying, bedsharing, and breastfeeding through the night. The course is simply way more comprehensive, as well as provides practical ideas and personal anecdotes throughout my own sleep journey - all brought to life.
Truthfully, for young babies, this course is geared towards breastfeeding/chestfeeding mums as breastfeeding and infant sleep are inextricably linked. I don't wish or mean to exclude anyone - however, if you’ve decided to bottle feed and crib sleep in a separate room, there are other courses to better help with that and The Sleeping Baby likely isn’t the best fit for you. If you’re bottle feeding an older baby though and would like to parent through connection at nighttime, this course will be great for you. If you have any questions, please email and ask us at support@raisedgood.com

No matter what some may say, it is physically impossible to spoil your child by being responsive. Babies don’t manipulate, they communicate. So, trust your instincts. Follow your innate wisdom and believe your baby.
