This episode of The POPPED Podcast, is Part 3 of our 5-part Sleep Series — a deep dive into the realities of infant sleep. Each week, we’re breaking down a different stage or challenge so you can understand the biology, the emotions, and the practical tools that make this season easier to navigate.In this fourth episode, Dr. Emily Muery explores one of the most personal — and often polarizing — topics in early parenthood: where and how babies sleep. She unpacks the biological, cultural, and emotional factors that shape sleep choices, from cribs and bassinets to co-sleeping and family beds.Dr. Muery discusses what “safe sleep” really means, breaking down AAP guidelines while also addressing global perspectives that normalize sleeping close to baby. The conversation dives into the roots of fear-based messaging around bedsharing, what actually makes some setups unsafe, and how families can create safer, more intentional sleep environments that work for them.This episode offers parents practical tools, cultural insight, and reassurance — validating that there’s no single “right way” to sleep, only safe, informed, and supported ways that honor both baby’s biology and the family’s well-being.This episode is sponsored by The Final PunctuationVisit thefinalpunctuation.com#ThePoppedPodcast #BirthEducation #BabyLedBirth #LaborAndDelivery #ChiropracticForPregnancy #PregnancyPodcast #DoulaSupport #BirthWorkerLife #ExpectingMoms #BirthPrep #prenatalchiropractor #cosleeping #bedsharing #roomsharing #infantsleep #newbornsleep #familysleeping #cosleep
