So much spit-up! Are you in that phase of spit-ups, fussiness and baby always needing held or know someone in the thick of it? Even as medical doctors, we sometimes have to phone a friend when dealing with concerns regarding our own children. Right now, Andrea's third baby is struggling with spit ups and fussiness. She's one of those koala babies who wants to be held all day, so she phoned in her bestie & co-founder of Sage Mother Co, Pediatrician Dr. Kristin Weidert to learn the 411 on infant reflux and share it with all of you!

Like what you heard? Have something else you're struggling with and want your own 1:1 consult with either of our physician co-founders? You're in luck! We will start offering 1:1 consults soon, so get on our waitlist today for one of our limited spots.

By her third pregnancy, Dr. Andrea was pretty sure she knew how birth would go. But birth has a way of surprising you and this was no exception. From baby picking her own timing, to preparing for birth while fielding two little ones and a busy work schedule, this pregnancy came with it's own lessons.

Listen in to hear Andrea recount her birth story and how postpartum with three little ones is going.

Have you ever heard or been told "stop playing in the dirt, you'll get sick" or been conditioned to frequently clean with bleach & other heavy-duty cleaners, constantly keeping dirt & dust out of your home? Dirt can be viewed as gross as today's environments are becoming increasingly sterile, but a little bit of dirt might just be exactly what we need.

In this episode our in-house pediatrician breaks down several health benefits of playing outside, visiting farms & owning a pet, which are more than just stress relief from sunshine and fresh air. Digging in the dirt might be exactly what you AND your child need.

We had so much more to discuss about parenting, so we brought back life doula Micaela Raine from episode 28 to shift the conversation to the tactical side of parenting: how to stay connected to your child while also setting clear boundaries.

Micaela Raine is a Certified Integrative Life Coach who has had a 28 year career teaching in a Montessori classroom. She currently runs parenting classes as well as coaching and mentoring programs with parents one on one.

Episode highlights:

- Why are boundaries important? How can we enforce them while keeping that connection with our children?

- Is no a bad word? How do you avoid saying no, but continue to enforce what you want your child to do or don't do?

- How can you navigate parental disagreements over parenting styles?

- What is a healthy discipline option for younger children?
