When you have a toddler in the house you learn very quickly that when they don’t want to do something, they will fight tooth and nail not to do it. There are battles not worth the fight and there are those that are, especially when it comes to hygiene. For example, there may be a time when they don’t want to let you wash their hair. How do you get them comfortable with it once again? How many times a week does a toddler need their hair washed? This week on the podcast we’ll answer all these questions. Plus, nursing while pregnant. A mother of an 11-month-old now has #2 on the way. She is ready to wean her infant off breastfeeding and we’ve got some great tips and tricks to get it done with confidence!

This week on the podcast it’s all about parent care! First, we all love our kids but we also all value some time away from our little ones to have an adult conversation or even just finish a single thought.

Then, we’ll talk to a dad who is trying to find the best way to support his wife who is struggling with their newborn.
