Spoil Your Baby

• Trusting Your Own Intuition (feat. Kelly Yefet) | #29

  Your intuition as a mother is to care for your child… and it’s OK to trust it. On today’s episode of the Spoil Your Baby podcast, Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum sits down with Kelly Yefet, a mother, keynote speaker, brand and growth advisor, entrepreneur, and Greer’s sister-in-law. Greer and Kelly have known each other for many years, and even while personally knowing and understanding the science behind co-sleeping, many people in Kelly’s circle were encouraging her to follow a more modern sleep training approach with her newborn daughter, Noah. It wasn’t until Noah was actually born that Kelly’s intuition fully kicked in. She realized she absolutely did not want to be apart from her child while they slept. This is a powerful, real-life example of how society often pushes us to parent in ways that go against our natural instincts. Most importantly, it is a reminder that it’s OK to trust yourself when it comes to co-sleeping and connection. No matter where you are in your parenting journey, one thing is clear: by listening to this podcast, you are choosing to grow, to make space, and to care with intention.

• Herbs Aren’t Scary, They’re a Lifeline with Sara Chana Silverstein | #28

  On today’s episode of the Spoil Your Baby podcast, Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum is joined by master herbalist, certified lactation consultant, doula, and mother of seven, Sara Chana Silverstein. With over 45,000 mothers and babies supported through lactation, Sara Chana brings a wealth of clinical wisdom and heart-centered, holistic care to the table. Together, they explore the benefits of mixing conventional medicine with herbs, and unravel one of the biggest misconceptions in modern motherhood: that herbs are “unregulated” or unsafe. In truth, when used accurately, these ancient plant allies can be powerful tools to support physical recovery, emotional wellbeing, and postpartum healing. From calming tinctures like skullcap and motherwort to nourishing teas like nettle and lemon balm, this conversation will shift the way you think about postpartum care. Sara Chana also breaks down why most breastfeeding issues are about baby training, not milk supply—and why modern medicine often misses the mark on long-term maternal health. This is the episode for every parent who has ever felt dropped after giving birth… and wants to reclaim simple, effective tools for lifelong care.   Key Takeaways: Herbs like nettle, skullcap, valerian, and motherwort can support pregnancy, postpartum, and emotional wellbeing with minimal risk and maximum impact Most postpartum recovery protocols in Western medicine are lacking, but herbs offer real solutions for healing, mood, and energy Kids can safely use herbs, too (think lemon balm popsicles, elderberry tea, and catnip tinctures) You don’t need to “enrich” your milk, you need to nourish the mother Safe, trusted herbal brands include: Herbalist & Alchemist, Herb Pharm, and WishGarden   More from Sara Chana: Website + Free Resources: www.sarachana.com Moodtopia (for moms) + Moodtopia for Kids (coming soon!)

• Feeding Your Baby’s Brain (feat. Dr. Marion Van Horn) | #27

  Brain health matters… and it’s worth prioritizing with your children. On today’s episode of the Spoil Your Baby podcast, Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum sits down with Marion Van Horn, PhD. Marion is a neuroscientist and a mom whose work took on a whole new meaning when it started to overlap with her everyday life. As she began to understand more about how babies’ minds grow and develop, it reshaped the way she thought about parenting. That journey led Marion to team up with an illustrator to create something special: a series of coloring books about the brain, designed to bring children and parents together. They are playful, meaningful, and full of simple ways to spark connection. And the truth is, it is never too early to help kids start understanding what is going on inside their own minds. No matter where you are in your own parenting journey, one thing is clear. By listening to this podcast, you are choosing to grow, to make space, and to care with intention. If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend.

• Your Baby’s Growth through Stress: w/ Dr. Rocio Zunini | #26

  The world will be stressful for your child. That’s why they need you as a safe haven. On today’s episode of the Spoil Your Baby podcast, Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum is joined once again by co-host Rocio Zunini, Ph.D., a neuroscientist, parental brain educator, and expert on the connection between your body and your baby. There’s a common piece of advice in the parenting world that can be so harmful, we felt it needed an entire episode: Some people will tell you that because the world is harsh, we need to be harsh with our babies to prepare them for what’s to come. This advice is not just misguided, it goes against decades of research. Yes, the world can be challenging. But what your child truly needs is a safe haven to return to. A place where they feel loved, seen, and supported. Today’s conversation is all about stress. How much is helpful for growth? When does it become too much? Where do we draw the line? And who can we trust for guidance? These questions aren’t easy, but they’re essential for any parent. No matter where you are in your parenting journey, one thing is already true. By listening to this podcast, you’re making space to grow, to be more intentional, and to show up with care. If this episode resonates, share it with a friend!

• Sleep Training: Strength or Disconnection? w/ Dr. Rocio Zunini | #25

  There’s a common message you’ll hear in parenting circles. It sounds empowering on the surface, but actually? It reinforces deep disconnection to your child. On today’s episode of the Spoil Your Baby podcast, Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum is joined for another great conversation with co-host Rocio Zunini, PhD. Together, they take a deep dive into a common (yet infuriating!) sentiment floating around social media that questions whether moms who resist sleep training are simply too “lazy” to do the hard work. This is not JUST a bad take. It is a harmful myth rooted in outdated science and cultural pressure. When we take a look at where these concepts come from, they are never from mothers. They come from male doctors who have never raised a baby on their own. This episode dives into the science of the parental brain, the real roots of sleep training advice, and the generational voices that have tried to sever the sacred connection between mother and baby. You will learn how empathy, intuition, and attunement are not signs of weakness. They are the foundation of lifelong resilience. No matter where you are in your parenting journey, one thing is already true. By listening to this podcast, you’re making space to grow, to be more intentional, and to show up with care. If this episode resonates, share it with a friend! And if you’d like to join our free five-day event for mothers this July, visit instagram.com/drgreerkirshenbaum and comment “BLOOM” on any post to receive a personal invitation via DM. Key Takeaways Sleep training advice often comes from outdated sources with no real experience caring for babies. Your empathy and sensitivity are powerful strengths. The parental brain is wired for connection, emotion regulation, and intuition. Nurturing your baby builds their brain and stress system in profound and lasting ways.
