Moms are boycotting a popular baby sleep expert over campaign donations
Baby sleep expert @TakingCaraBabies is under fire after her donations to the Trump campaign became public knowledge.

Every night, countless moms struggle with getting their babies to sleep. Bleary eyed and desperate for help, they often turn to the internet for advice.
How to get my baby to sleep?
Why won't my newborn sleep?
Will my baby ever sleep on her own?
If you scroll through the internet long enough, you'll eventually find Taking Cara Babies, a website run by Cara Dumaplin, who describes herself as a "mom of four, neonatal nurse, wife of a pediatrician, and a certified pediatric sleep consultant."
Dumaplin's business of selling e-books, classes, and phone consultations to moms struggling to get their babies to sleep is booming. She's been featured on Good Morning America and over 1.3 million people follow her on Instagram.
Taking Cara Babies is wildly popular in parenting groups, too. Whether it's the soothing peachy aesthetic of her Instagram page or her upbeat messaging, thousands of moms have paid for her classes, books, and phone calls to help get their kids to sleep.
So what's the problem?
This week, it came to light that Dumaplin and her husband are Trump supporters who've made dozens of contributions across several years to the Trump campaign.

"Hope it's ineffective," she continued. "It's a little ridiculous to go rooting for ammunition against people you don't agree with politically and try to ruin their livelihood. Legal? Sure. Right? No way. I dont agree with the 90s boycotts either." Dumaplin issued a statement addressing her contributions. "Taking Cara Babies is about helping babies get sleep and parents reclaiming the joy of parenthood that's often lost due to sleep deprivation," she said. "Between 2016 and 2019, I made a series of donations (totaling $1,078) to the Trump campaign. As with many citizens, there were aspects of the Trump Administration that I agreed with and some that I disagreed with. I will continue to serve all parents by empowering them with the tools they need to help their babies sleep."Just saw a huge campaign to try and get parents to stop following/buying from a 1million+ IG account (Taking Cara B… https://t.co/cayOzlIqk5
