Your little one's sleep doesn't have to be a mystery

Last week, we talked a lot about daycare and sleep – what can you realistically expect from your provider, for better or worse, what can you realistically expect from your child, and how they’ll actually sleep. If you haven’t read it yet, pause and go back so you don’t miss anything! This week, we’re continuing […]

It is back-to-school season, which is usually a very transitional time for families. If your baby or toddler is in daycare, this might be when they go back to daycare after being home for the summer, or move up to another room, maybe you’re putting your little one in daycare for the first time…or maybe […]

There are some milestones in parenting that shake you a bit more than others. A classic one is when your child starts calling you “Mom” or “Mommy,” rather than “Mama.” One that totally blindsided me was starting to use two-piece pajamas rather than onesie pajamas. Then there are a lot of milestones parents look forward […]

Growing up, my brother and sister had special blankets, my other sister had a stuffed animal, and I had my pillow – we were all attached to them when it came to sleep! I’m pretty sure both of my sisters still have theirs, my mom hid my brother’s in fear that he’d one day throw […]

She is an Oral Myofunctional therapist and will be explaining all things high palates and mouth breathing. Introduce […]

Craniosacral therapy…have you ever heard of it? I hadn’t until our lactation consultant highly recommended we do it after our youngest had her lip and tongue tie released, and now I’ve not only taken my youngest but also my oldest, and I’ve even had craniosacral work done on me! I can’t wait for you to […]

In last week’s post, I walked through our tongue and lip tie journey with our youngest daughter. I shared all of the signs that pointed toward her oral restrictions, some of which were clear to us and some that weren’t, and I talked through her frenectomy and what the stretches and healing were like from […]
