About

Because parenting isn’t perfect — and it shouldn’t have to be.

Welcome to The Baby Nest — your safe space for practical parenting tips, honest stories, and gentle support through the beautiful (and sometimes chaotic) early years of raising a baby.

We know what it’s like to search the internet at 2 AM wondering:

• Is my baby supposed to do this?

• Why am I crying over spilled breastmilk?

• Am I doing this right?

This site was built to answer those questions with compassion — not judgment.

💛 Our Mission

We’re here to support real parents in real life with:

• Simple, trustworthy baby care advice

• Honest guidance on mental health & self-care

• Encouragement during the tough moments (because there will be tough moments)

• A community that reminds you: you are not alone

Whether you're a first-time parent, second-time survivor, single parent, or full-time caregiver — you're welcome here.

👩‍🍼 Who’s Behind This?

Hi, I’m Joseph, a parent, writer, and parenting researcher who started this site after realizing that most baby advice either felt too clinical or too unrealistic.

I wanted a space that made parents feel seen, not shamed.
A space where vulnerability and strength could sit side by side.
A space filled with tips that are actually useful — not overwhelming.

So I created The Baby Nest to combine expert insight, real-life experience, and emotional support for every part of the parenting journey.

🤍 You're Doing Better Than You Think

Parenthood isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about showing up, every day, with love — even when you’re exhausted.

We hope this space gives you tools, encouragement, and community as you care for your baby — and yourself.

Thanks for being here. You’re exactly the kind of parent your baby needs.
