I’ve really enjoyed listing to Rachel and her guests talk all parenting and baby stuff, I wish I had this earlier since becoming a mom 2 years ago. She’s so relatable, kind, and empathetic. I also feel validated by her! Take a listen, you will make it a daily or weekly habit to listen and learn :)

Rachel, I love and appreciate the conversations you curate in this podcast. I see room for you to level up your audio quality. Poor sound detracts from your high quality work! Treat yourself to a consult with an audio engineer!

Rachel does such a great job hosting this podcast! She’s always so up to speed with whoever she’s interviewing and asks them such great questions, which makes for a pleasant listening experience. I’ve learned so much from every podcast, but have to give a special shoutout to the independent play...Read full review »

What an absolute gem of a podcast!!! Please do yourself a favor and take a listen! I get something out of every episode I listen to, even if it’s something I think doesn’t pertain to my situation or something I’m not concerned about. So so so good! I can’t recommend it enough.

The best mom podcast out there hands down

I started following Rachael when my little one was a newborn and she completely changed the way I viewed baby sleep and so many other parenting things. This podcast makes me feel less alone as a newer mom and almost mom of two! A lot of parenting content can make me feel so overwhelmed like...Read full review »

This is a great listen for baby sleep and many other parenting topics. You don’t want to miss it!

I wish this podcast was around when I had my first baby. I think my stress would have been different and maybe even more enjoyable. Enjoyable stress! Yes! Ty Rachel for talking about things that ease this mamas tired mind.
Lucisanta01 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/21/24
I found this podcast by following you on instagram. I recently was cosleeping with my baby after he was outright refusing to sleep in his crib. Magically after weeks of attempting crib sleep, he decided to sleep thru the night. It’s been a week now and the fighting at bedtime is minimal. I never...Read full review »

I cannot thank Rachael & every guest she has had on this podcast enough! I look forward to each new episode and use it as 1. My selfcare time and 2. To help me be the best mom I can be while enjoying all the ups and downs! This podcast is so relaxing yet so informative and I cannot recommend...Read full review »

This podcast has helped me so much during my parenting journey, especially with sleep. With my first child I was so stressed about her sleep. But now I am a mom of 2 (a newborn and toddler) and I can confidently say that I don’t stress about baby sleep and what society thinks of me...Read full review »

This podcast is the natural continuation of Rachael’s mission to reframe all things baby-related. Each episode is lovingly made, informative, and relatable. Like so many listeners, I found Hey Sleepy Baby in the early days of my first baby, and her content and guidance enabled me to relax and...Read full review »
Chelsea DVM via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/19/24
This is the first podcast I’ve ever felt a real connection to. So many are just the “fluff” of parenting, or coming from a place that honestly isn’t real or realistic for most of us. It’s like every week something is covered that I was thinking about or wondering about and I’ve re-listened to...Read full review »
JulesMalloy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/19/24
I found Rachael a few years ago on instagram in the middle of the night when my baby would NOT go back to sleep. I was exhausted. Dad was exhausted. Baby was upset. And I was considering sleep training even though my heart refused to listen to her cry. Enter Rachael. Immediately found peace in...Read full review »

I found Rachel after I had my second baby. I’ve loved following everything she does and the podcast is no different. I could listen to her and Marley all day. So entertaining and informative. She’s helped me realistically manage the fact that my first was a unicorn sleeper from the get and my...Read full review »

Have loved Rachael’s IG account for almost 3 years now when I found it with my first, it saved my sanity!

Rachael is amazing. She dives into the topics I care about as a new mom and does so with humor, realism, and complete openness. Listening to her podcast feels like having coffee with a friend (who knows all things parenthood and brings her expert friends along!). As a new mom this podcast has...Read full review »

I was never a podcast girly until I became a mom. Rachel and her phenomenal guests really hit to the core. As a FTM I felt so seen, heard and empowered after listening. They’re sweet, funny, educational… I could go on and on. As Rachel recommend, listening when you’re putting baby to bed was the...Read full review »

This podcast is a seamless and natural continuation of the open dialogue Rachael offers on her social media platforms. Personally, I am careful when choosing which parenting content to consume as I know how easy it is to slip into comparing but I have never felt that here. She is passionate yet...Read full review »

I found this podcast when my baby was 6 months old and have absolutely loved it. In the first few months of being a first time mom I felt so overwhelmed by the “rules” my baby and I were supposed to be following but kept failing to adhere to. Then I found NOTU and realized what we were going...Read full review »

I found Rachael when my baby was going through a tough sleep phase around 6mo and WOW do I wish I had found her earlier! I love listening to these episodes on walks or as I’m laying with my daughter as she falls asleep. The community she has created is invaluable and I am beyond grateful she is...Read full review »

Started listening after following Rachael on “Hey Sleepy Baby” and finding acceptance not only of my maternal instincts and inner knowing of what is right for my child; but acceptance of my baby’s instincts and behavior. She helps with every episode and post to empower women in a world of...Read full review »

NOTU podcast has quickly become my favorite parenting podcast.

I look forward to every new episode and have listened since the very beginning after...Read full review »

I’m pretty sure I have sent each and every episode so far to a parent friend (multiple to my husband!!).

Finally a down to earth podcast from a mom of three kids who has a wealth of knowledge to offer her listeners. I love the variety of guests she has on the show.

The only parenting podcast I listen to! I look forward to each episode every week and I also have my husband hooked. All the guests have been outstanding and Rachael is a great host and always asks them the best questions.

I am a first time mama and while I have had gut instincts about what is best for my baby girl and me since before she was even born, I had started to doubt myself because of all the “noise” on social media and even coming from my friends and family. Then I found @heysleepybaby and her podcast and...Read full review »

Every episode is so relatable and spot on - I appreciate the realness and it helps make me feel like I’m not the only one! Some aspects of parenthood are so unique yet not talked about enough - Rachael does! Love it!

I love HeySleepyBaby! Rachael’s IG page saved my sanity and helped me shift my mindset. This podcast is no different. I love the realness, vulnerability, and deep dives into great topics!
hndh2525 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/19/24
My wife and I listen to this podcast routinely. It’s great to know the stresses and struggles we sometimes face with our little one are not unique to us. Hearing similar stories and how other parents handle them is totally validating.
Anusdog via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/19/24
Love Hey Sleepy Baby Instagram, and double love that Rachael started a podcast! It’s relatable, it’s got such helpful practical advice, and it’s conversations I feel like are often lacking but are so needed!!! So grateful and highly recommend to any parent, or soon to be parent! @abigailstrosser
yeehaw747 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/19/24
Rachel’s content and perspectives are such an asset for new parents. She always keeps it real, respectful and her sleep advice is based in evidence and backed by personal experience. Forever grateful to her for helping me gain confidence in mothering without sleep training.
New parents need this via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/19/24
This podcast is truly what I wish I had when prepping for my first baby. The NICU episode especially hit hard as we had a 30 day stay in the NICU and many challenges stemming from prematurity. The conversation made me feel seen and so much less alone! Knowing what others have been through and...Read full review »

Love this podcast and the topics Rachael discusses! As a professional in the pediatric space, I had no idea some of the topics that would be of concern when becoming a mom! Amazing content for all parents.

The HeySleepyBaby account and podcast is amazing! I first found Rachael when my toddler was a newborn after going through weeks of sleep deprivation trying to put our newborn down and failing.

It’s such a breath of fresh air to listen to and follow such an informative and helpful podcast and page. It has helped immensely with my parenting needs in a judgement free way where I’m comfortable with what I’m doing with my little kiddies. Great content.

I’ve loved everything Rachael shares on insta and her podcast didn’t disappoint. She is honest and relatable not only about babe sleep, but all things parenthood. Loved the episodes with her husband and the one with her parents is next on my list! So many gems ✨@hayykay
