Why is my baby crying? Why won’t my baby sleep in a bassinet? How do I take care of a newborn?

These are some of the questions you'll likely have when you bring your baby home. This course is all about giving you the answers you need so you aren’t up Googling at 2am.


Hi, I’m Jaquie,

I’m a New Parent Educator, Postpartum Doula and Pediatric Sleep Consultant.

I created this course because I remember what it was like to be a new mom, awake in the middle of the night, searching for answers and wondering what was normal. Those first weeks are full of joy but also a lot of confusion and overwhelm. This is the course I wish I had taken before I became a mom.

"No one prepares you for what to expect in the first 12 weeks with a baby. Jaquie informed us of what is normal, what to do, best practices and tips and tricks we couldn’t have gotten off of Googling. Her experience and knowledge reduced our anxiety." - Wendy S.

How to take this course

This course has been designed for moms-to-be. I know you are busy getting ready for baby, so that’s why all of the videos are short and bite-sized. You can also watch the videos as many times as you need even after baby comes home. Subtitles are also available so you can watch during feedings or naps! That’s the beauty of this course.


You might be wondering...

  • Will this course really help me?

    Yes. I’ve taken everything I know as a Pediatric Sleep Consultant, Postpartum Doula, and New Parent Educator into this course and made it relatable. My main goal for this course is to provide reassurance and practical tools to get you through the toughest season of early motherhood.

  • What if I don’t have time?

    Everything is designed to fit into your day. You don’t need to carve out hours to take this course. You just need a few moments here and there.

  • Why should I take this course while I'm pregnant?

    The best time to prepare for the 4th trimester is before you're in it. During pregnancy, you have the time, space, and energy to absorb information that will help you feel confident and supported once your baby arrives. This course gives you practical tools, clear guidance, and emotional support so you’re not scrambling for answers in the middle of the night. You'll be able to focus on bonding with your baby because you'll already know what to expect and how to handle it.

  • Is this course only for first time moms?

    While it’s great for first time moms, a lot of course participants have said they valued the course as a second or third time mom.

  • Can I take this course after having my baby?

    I’d love for you to do that! This course is designed for expecting moms but can be taken by new moms as well.

“Before starting the course, we felt anxious and unprepared. We had no idea what to do when we had to bring the baby home from the hospital. However, once we started the course, all those feelings disappeared quickly, like blazing quickly. Jaquie is incredible! She is calming, knowledgeable, and so reassuring. She puts things into bite-size terms and provides us with so much information.” - Elizabeth & Kevin V.

Your Questions Answered

  • Wait, so what exactly is the 4th Trimester? 

    The 4th trimester refers to the first 12 weeks of your baby’s life, a critical period for both infant development and your recovery. This time is essential for establishing a secure attachment between mother and baby, as well as adjusting to new routines and challenges. Understanding the 4th trimester helps you navigate emotions, physical changes, and the unique needs of your newborn, ultimately leading to a smoother transition into motherhood.

  • Is Surviving the 4th Trimester right for me?

    If you’re an expecting mom or you have a newborn - then yes! This course lays and builds on foundations to help you care for yourself and baby, bridging the knowledge gap left by birthing and hospital classes to cover exactly what you’ll need to know to tackle the first 12 weeks of your baby’s life. 

  • How long do I have access?

    You'll have unlimited access to all material so you can review it anytime.

  • What topics are covered?

    Some of the topics we cover include how to nurture the mother-baby connection and build secure attachment, along with how to prepare for your baby—physically, mentally, and emotionally. We’ll talk honestly about the realities of postpartum life, including the “TMI” things no one warns you about, so you know what to actually expect. You’ll also learn what to expect during your physical and emotional recovery—what’s normal, what’s hard, and how to support yourself through it. We’ll explore newborn behaviors, temperaments, and what your baby may be trying to communicate. You’ll get step-by-step guidance on essential newborn care, including diapering, swaddling, feeding, and soothing. We also cover breastfeeding and bottle-feeding as well as the foundations of sleep—how to set up healthy habits without pressure or perfection. Finally, we’ll help you create flexible and realistic routines that support both you and your baby, while also addressing how to cope with exhaustion, ask for help, trust your intuition, and lean on the support around you.
