731 Cara Dumaplin: Founder of TakingCaraBabies

On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I’m joined by Cara Dumaplin, Founder of Taking Cara Babies—a trusted education company dedicated to helping parents navigate the challenges of infant and toddler sleep. A neonatal nurse, certified pediatric sleep consultant, and mom of four, Cara has built a global community of millions through her research-backed, compassionate approach that empowers families to thrive. Her courses, resources, and now physical products, like her newly launched swaddles, offer practical tools that nurture both babies and parents. In our conversation, Cara shares her journey from years in the NICU to creating one of the most respected brands in the parenting space. We talk about the inspiration behind Taking Cara Babies, the evolution from education to product development, and the strategies she’s used to scale a mission-driven brand while staying authentic to her values. Cara opens up about the challenges and joys of entrepreneurship, how she balances building a business while raising four children, and the most meaningful success stories she’s witnessed from parents around the world. Whether you’re a new parent, aspiring founder, or someone fascinated by how empathy and expertise can build a movement—this episode is full of insight and inspiration.
