From birth to feeding, to newborn care and way beyond, we believe there is not one right way to parent. We provide research-based information, but always want you to trust your gut and do what is best for your&nbsp;family.&nbsp; &nbsp; In the show,&nbsp; we bring The Family Room's inclusive guidance and philosophies to a brand new platform,&nbsp;discussing parenting topics you care about&nbsp; from pregnancy through preschool.&nbsp;In each episode, we will take a deeper dive into a specific parenting topic with a Family Room educator or guest expert to support you on your&nbsp;parenting journey. From infant&nbsp;feeding, identity and relationship shifts, child safety advice, and toddler behavior. Learn more about &nbsp;postpartum depression and&nbsp;perinatal mood disorders, introducing a sibling, starting solids, and so many more things parents face.&nbsp; Gather the best tips, tricks and advice from The Family Room’s giant support team. Learn from childbirth professionals, international board certified lactation consultants, child development experts, infant specialists, marriage and family therapists, and more.

Real parents sharing real struggles,&nbsp;real victories and everything in between. Listen to inspiring anecdotes, crazy confessions, and memorable moments. These moms and dads provide parenthood truths you won’t find anywhere else. Hosting the podcast is the founder and CEO of The Family Room, Karen Stoteraux. A successful entrepreneur, she has always been passionate about providing support to families, particularly mothers, and creating important connections during one of the&nbsp;biggest transitions of your life. For Karen, supporting children means supporting parents, because children thrive when their parents do. While everyone else is focused on the baby, The Family Room often focuses on you.&nbsp; Being a parent is hard and only talking about the&nbsp;good parts creates a false&nbsp;narrative. Unrealistic expectations and societal&nbsp;pressure can be overwhelming for many parents. Karen aims to normalize many parenting struggles, celebrate&nbsp;your victories, and cheer you on.&nbsp;&nbsp; The research-based curriculum offered by Karen's organization provides age-appropriate knowledge about raising healthy and happy children through a parent-focused lense.
