Understanding Developmental Leaps & Infant Sleep
Join us for a special October ParentKind Circle session focused on understanding developmental leaps and how they can affect your baby’s sleep.
This virtual session will be led by Diana Heinig, owner of Rooted Family Services, who provides postpartum doula care, newborn care education, and pediatric sleep consulting. Diana helps families feel more confident and supported as they navigate the early stages of parenting.
We’ll explore what developmental leaps can look like, how they may influence sleep and behavior, and practical ways to support your baby through these changes — all within the thoughtful, supportive community of ParentKind Circle.

Anxiety Edition: Prenatal Feeding Prep for Anxious, Overthinking, and Neurodivergent Parents
Preparing for breastfeeding shouldn’t mean becoming an expert before your baby even arrives. This free live prenatal class is designed to help you feel more informed and prepared without adding to the overwhelm.
We’ll talk about what actually matters for establishing milk production, what to expect in the first days after birth, pumping and flange fit basics, and how anxiety, sensory needs, and executive function can affect feeding. You’ll also learn how to create a flexible feeding plan so you can feel more prepared without feeling like everything has to go perfectly.

Supporting Anxious & Neurodivergent Parents Through Feeding
Supporting families with feeding can become more complex when anxiety, sensory needs, perfectionism, neurodivergence, or mental health concerns are part of the picture. In this free live webinar, we’ll explore practical ways birth and postpartum professionals can support these families without adding to overwhelm.
We’ll cover communication strategies, sensory and executive function needs, recognizing when to refer, and ways to build confidence without placing pressure on families to achieve perfect feeding.
