Tahnee and I are back at it this week in part 2 of the adaptive parenting series. This week we dive into the things we've been doing to keep Mum, Bub and Dad healthy throughout these first 8 months. We'll cover more of our developing personal philosophy around parenting and how we ensure we're making the best choices for our family, not just following the "rules." It was heaps of fun diving into the nature and energetics of being a young family and how this little family ecosystem can become sustainable and enriching for the whole tribe. So come talk baby food, vaccines, immunological development for the little ones, mumma regeneration tactics, the importance of parents keeping up their physical practice and heaps more as we dive into the world of adaptive parenting.
