Dayna, Lindsay and Katarina are all moms of toddlers and have also been or continue to be the only parent to their little ones.

They graciously opened up about navigating through life as the primary caretaker while transitioning back to work, dealing with daycare germs, decision making, middle-of-the-night-shenanigans, and about grieving the ideal of the typical nuclear family.

A really great conversation for everyone.


Would love to hear your thoughts! A rating or review go a long way for us :)

The relationships we have with others can change over time, and nothing could be more true than when it comes to our friendships as we start having babies. Even more so if you're the first of your group of friends to have a baby!

In this episode, Lindsey and I are chatting about what we've noticed with our own friendships and how we've navigated these evolving relationships over the years. A big reason we're putting these conversations out there is so that we can all feel a little less alone or different for having experienced them :)

We may not be therapists, but we're moms, professionals in the "baby world" and we're passionate about sharing what we know to help others along their journey through parenthood.

On this episode, Lindsey (new member of the BBS team!!) and I are chatting about what it's been like to navigate relationships with family members when it comes to caring for our little ones. We think a lot of you find yourselves in similar situations, so we thought we'd get the conversation started! We're also sharing some info & tips on how you can help keep those lines of communication open :)

My husband and I are chatting about the births of our daughters, how different they were when we knew what we needed to know all along, and what it was like bringing home a newborn.

This is not an exhaustive list by any stretch, but these three truths get asked/talked about quite often in the business I'm in and I'd like to share them with you.

One has to do with sleep.

One has to do with breastfeeding.

One has to do with you.

We all have those moments of overwhelm or feeling like we can't handle something, like the 3rd tantrum of the day or Baby's (and your) interrupted sleep.

But Nikole MacLellan, ND (aka, Dr. Kokes) approaches motherhood and her life in general with a very practical, supportive and motivating lense. So, I asked her to come on the show to talk about all of that and she shares some really helpful ways that we can all build more resiliency.

How long your baby can stay awake for before they need to sleep again is always evolving.

They get older, their sleep needs change so their naps lessen and become less frequent, their ability to stay awake for longer periods increases… But this can literally be so different from one baby to the next.

In this episode, I'm going to breakdown the signs your baby may be ready to extend/change their wake windows and how you can do that without risking quality sleep!
