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

If I say the words plagiocephaly and torticollis, do you know what I’m talking about? Have you ever seen a baby wearing a helmet? Or have any of your kiddos needed a helmet? Eight years ago I would have had no idea what plagiocephaly or torticollis meant, and I don’t think I saw many babies […]

When you read “safe sleep for babies,” you might roll your eyes because you’ve “been there heard that”. Or you might think you don’t need to read this, because you know the ABCs of safe sleep. But I’d like to say this is “not your mama’s safe sleep” blog, because I’m diving into all of […]

“She must be teething.” I wish I could tell you how many times my husband and I said that very sentence, assuming our oldest daughter’s sleep challenges must be connected to teething. How much does teething really impact our babies’ sleep? That’s just what we’ll be talking about today. Rewind back about 7.5 years ago […]

Have you ever laid your baby down for a nap and then stressed about what to do with the next 30-40 minutes, knowing that it won’t be long before your little one will be awake again? Should I do the dishes or read that book? Fold laundry or finally eat lunch? Watch a TV show […]

Last week, I shared all about the roller coaster of a breastfeeding journey we’ve had with our little James these last couple of months, and the amazing lactation consultant who helped us. This week, I’ll be interviewing our lactation consultant, Allyson Wessells of Nurture Columbus, but we won’t be specifically chatting about nursing! Allyson is […]

One of my favorite aspects of newborn life is that sweet little baby burrito I get to snuggle. Swaddled babies are so cute! And swaddling is such an important piece of newborn sleep, but it’s also something that gets misused! With my first, we swaddled her for naps and nighttime for four+ months. I actually […]

Traveling with young kids can be challenging enough (trips not vacations, right??), not to mention changing time zones and dealing with a jet lagged baby or toddler. It can be rough! But that doesn’t mean changing time zones with kids is impossible, and I certainly don’t want you avoiding family vacations and all of those […]

Do you live in an area of the country where hurricanes, tornadoes, or wildfires are a pretty real threat? If so, this week’s post is for you! I’m interviewing my teammate, Maura, as she has been in or around her fair share of natural disasters. She’s going to be sharing about how she and her […]

When I say the Fourth of July with kids, what’s your first thought? Is it, “Yay, fireworks are the best!” Or is it, “I can’t wait until they’re older so we can go to the fireworks again.” Or is it, “Ugh, the fireworks better not wake up my kids!” Or something in between? In this […]

“Is there a wrong way to sleep train?” I’m going to be answering that question today with six mistakes parents often make when sleep training. I don’t know about you, but we attempted to “sleep train” our oldest several times before actually sleep training her – or maybe I should say before “successfully” sleep training […]
