Safe newborn sleep is one of the most important—and overwhelming—topics for new parents. In this episode of The Push Podcast, we’re joined by Liz Hilton, mom of four, founder of Swaddelini, and creator of the documentary Holding Mother, to break down what safe sleep really looks like in real life.
We talk about the gap between safe sleep guidelines and the reality of caring for a newborn, including sleep deprivation, anxiety, and the pressure parents feel to “get it right.” Liz shares her personal journey through four babies, how her approach to sleep evolved, and why supporting the mother is one of the most important (and overlooked) factors in safer sleep.
This episode also covers the essentials every parent should know, including the ABCs of safe sleep, common mistakes, and how to create a safe sleep environment without fear or shame. We take a deeper look at swaddling—what’s safe, what’s not, when to stop, and how products like Swaddelini fit into current recommendations.
If you’re expecting, in the newborn stage, or feeling overwhelmed by sleep advice online, this conversation will help you feel more informed, supported, and confident in making safer choices for your baby. Find us on social: The Guest: @swaddelini IG: @the.push.podcast TikTok: @the.push.pod
