This episode is all about Baby Wearing!

My guest is a baby wearing expert and we're diving into things like:

- Acknowledgement of baby wearing as a practice culturally around the world.

- The marketing in North America of what a baby carrier is (and maybe what it isn't) and the recent science and benefits of Baby Wearing.

- How to wear baby safely? (Positions/types of carriers/forward facing vs facing in/ what carrier is best for when?).

- What parents do if they find baby doesn't like the wrap / carrier

 Join me in a conversation with Osteopath, Kaitlyn Sobey.

I can't tell you how often I refer parents to an Osteopath for their little one, and I hear from other families all the time how much those visits have benefited them! So, now's your chance to learn more about it and how it could potentially help your baby or yourself ;)

This is THE episode to listen to when you have a bigger kid (or, you're about to!).

My guest, Kim Marshall is a mom of 2 and the founder of Roots & Wings Childhood. As a Conscious Parenting Coach, she helps parents understand their child's behaviour and provides incredibly helpful tools to help us all navigate what to do.

In this episode, Kim and I are talking about behaviour for kids of all ages, but particularly those Toddlers and Preschoolers who are finding their voice but can struggle to understand their feelings.

But wait! There's more. Join our FREE Bringing Up Baby Community to gain access to Kim's helpful handout as well as a Live Parenting Q&A session with Kim on Tuesday, September 24th at 12pm ADT. If this time has passed, don't worry, it's being recorded and you can check it out in our Community any time!

More than just giving you some options for preparing/helping your little one adjust to the upcoming time change, I’m sharing what scenarios could be best for who, but why even in some “best case scenarios,” there’s still going to be some kind of an adjustment. It’s all about how to adjust as efficiently and smoothly as possible. 

This episode is my side of the discussion. Also highly recommend listening in to learn how to make this upcoming time change work for you if you’re currently dealing with early morning wake-ups!

First, you really need to know that short naps aren't bad!!

BUT..... If you're looking for more information on how you can help your baby being to lengthen some of their naps, then this is the episode you need!

While the timing of naps and the pre-sleep routines you have in place can also play a role in how long a nap might be, I'm diving into the how-to's of how to help your little one nap a little longer.

Take some notes! This is a good one.

In this episode, I'm chatting with counselling therapist and music therapist Mackenzie Costron. Mackenzie approaches her work with clients in a very unique and interesting way, so we wanted to highlight this aspect of her work, while also discussing certain ailments or struggles we may find ourselves with during pregnancy + beyond.

I hope you get something from this episode! Whether that's acknowledgement that this can be a challenging time in our lives (as much as it is also joyous), understanding that we can look at symptoms or challenges as our bodies trying to tell us something, or learning about how music therapy could be beneficial.
