I thought my pediatric background would prepare me for motherhood…

Motherhood is beautiful—but it can also feel overwhelming, exhausting, and full of questions you never knew you’d have.

Is my baby eating enough? Sleeping enough? Is this normal? Am I doing this right? Why does it feel like everyone else knows something I don’t?

I’ve been there, too.

Hi, I’m Rebekah Blankenship—a pediatric physician assistant, parent educator, sleep consultant, and mom.

Before becoming a mom, I had spent years caring for babies and children and working alongside families in hospitals, clinics, and educational settings. I thought that experience would mean I’d feel prepared.

Then I brought my own baby home.

Suddenly, I understood how different it feels when you’re the one making the decisions at 2 a.m. There was so much to navigate—feeding, sleep, development, schedules, health questions, and simply learning how to be a mom.

That experience changed the way I wanted to support families. I created Nurtured Nest to bridge the gap between knowing the information and actually knowing what to do with it in real life.
