Babies will actually wean from breastfeeding on their own, usually sometime between the ages of 2yrs and 5yrs.

But sometimes, WE want to get the ball rolling on this for various reasons.

This episode uncovers a few ways you can help you baby wean from the breast, and we even get into a bit of the cow's milk discussion FYI.

What did you learn about birth growing up?
Was your only experience with birth coming from the stories of others or what you saw in movies?

The messages we've received, the experiences we've had, the movies we've watched, the stories we've heard from others... These can all shape how we expect or think about how our own labour and delivery will go.

We're chatting with Birth and Postpartum Doula, Liz Burns about birth stories --> How we take them in, how we can process them and make sure they don't affect us in a negative way, and the importance of sharing our own.

When planning and preparing to have a baby, we don't often learn or know much about what it could be like if we need to have surgery to meet our little ones.

This episode is full of insightful and practical suggestions from two moms who've been there. While their stories may not reflect all the ways the labour and delivery process can go, there is still so much that you'll relate to and can understand even if you haven't had a C-Section yourself.

Thank you to Megan and Melissa for sharing their stories and insights with us!

Grab your headphones and head out for a walk, cuz this is a good one ;)

This is a conversation you don't want to miss!

Abigail Barth is back to chat with us about the idea of Reparenting, which is essentially meeting the needs of your child-self that were not met when you were actually a child. This is available to anyone, but particularly used regarding childhood trauma AND/OR when people have their own children and begin to reflect on their experience of childhood.

Grab a pen and paper, and take a listen!

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 :)
