In last week’s post, we talked all about when and how to wean your baby or toddler from the bottle – when it’s recommended to be totally done with bottles, your options for dropping them, common hesitations, and more.

This week, I am interviewing my teammate, Maura, and she is sharing about her fertility journey and how that impacted her mindset around her son James’ sleep when he was a baby, and how that continues to impact her parenting mindset today.

We found out we were pregnant with baby number four this fall and were excited to tell our families at Christmas. When we went in for our initial ultrasound, however, when we were 10 weeks along, we discovered that the baby had stopped growing at about 6.5 weeks. We were experiencing our first miscarriage.

Sleep training and how we approach sleep with our kids, in general, is a hot topic. Then bring that topic into a family where people might have different opinions and things can get tricky – especially with grandparents! The way my parents approached sleep, and just the knowledge around sleep, was so different when I […]

I have read some great parenting books and read some great parenting blogs, but to be honest, reading is not my forte and I just feel like I don’t have time.
