IDK who needs to hear this…
“IDK who needs to hear this…” a podcast creating space to question what’s considered normal in early parenting. Through a nervous system and neurodiversity-informed lens, we unpack baby behavior, challenge common advice, and explore what babies and mothers actually need—bridging research, lived experience, and the realities no one talks about.

About Lauren
Lauren is a Registered Nurse (RN), Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), and certified infant sleep & wellbeing specialist. She specializes in infant sleep, feeding, and early development through a neurodiversity-affirming, nervous system–informed lens. Lauren is known for challenging how we recognize, interpret, and support neurodivergence from birth—questioning “watch and wait” approaches, standardized expectations, and behavior-based frameworks that can overlook early differences. As a mom of three autistic children, she brings both clinical insight and deeply lived experience to her work, advocating for earlier, more responsive, and individualized support that honors each child’s unique nervous system from the very beginning.
