We also sit down after the cooking is done and discuss a large number of topics including giving Atlas his first bit of chocolate, how we feel about the boy going to daycare, sugar detoxes, internet advice, and more.  There was a lot on our minds apparently!

This week we interview the wonderful, kind, and incredibly intelligent Owner of Custom Orthotics London, Dawn MacArthur-Turner.

Dawn talks to us about what can go wrong with a developing skull and the ways to treat these conditions.

We also discuss financing woes and the need for some families to find external funding to ensure their babies grow and develop properly.

This episode coincides with the launch of our "Tiny Helmets for Tiny Heads" campaign that will run for the entire month of May. We are attempting to raise $7,500 to buy helmets for babies whose families can't afford them.  Currently, there are 3 families in the London area looking for funds, so we have a great opportunity to make a real difference in a child's life for the rest of their life.
