Multitasking at its finest. Pumping, fueling, surviving.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Why does my toddler lose it over the wrong color cup?”—you’re not alone. Tantrums are one of the most challenging parts of early parenting, but they’re not a sign of “bad behavior.” They’re a sign of growth.

Between ages 1 and 4, your child’s brain is developing faster than it ever will again. The emotional center (the amygdala) matures long before the part responsible for reasoning and self-control (the prefrontal cortex). That means your child feels big emotions—frustration, disappointment, anger, sadness—without yet having the tools to manage them.

A tantrum is your child’s way of communicating: “I’m overwhelmed and I don’t know what to do with these feelings.”

Here’s what’s really happening during those meltdowns:

💭 Emotions exceed their capacity to cope – toddlers literally can’t “hold it together” yet.
🧠 Their brains are learning regulation through co-regulation – they borrow your calm to find their own.
❤️ Connection comes before correction – when you stay steady, they feel safe enough to learn.

Understanding this helps you shift from reacting to teaching—building emotional intelligence that lasts long beyond the toddler years.

Our Parenting Preschoolers Consults are designed to guide you through this phase with confidence and compassion. We’ll help you:

✔️ Decode your child’s behaviors and underlying needs

✔️ Learn effective strategies for communication and boundaries

✔️ Foster emotional regulation through connection

✔️ Build routines that reduce power struggles and support cooperation

Because thriving as a parent isn’t about never having tantrums—it’s about knowing how to meet them with understanding, not overwhelm.

Most challenges with breastfeeding happen in the first few days after birth—when you’re tired, emotional, and learning everything at once. Prenatal education helps you prepare before that moment so you can feel calm, capable, and confident when baby arrives.⁠
⁠
In a prenatal breastfeeding consult, you’ll learn:⁠
⁠
• What’s normal in the first hours and days after birth⁠
⁠
• How to recognize early feeding cues and achieve a good latch⁠
⁠
• When (and how) to introduce pumping or bottles⁠
⁠
• What supplies are truly helpful—and what’s not worth the stress⁠
⁠
• How to navigate common feeding challenges with ease⁠
⁠
By understanding what to expect, you’ll reduce anxiety, set realistic goals, and start your journey already equipped with the tools and confidence you need.⁠
⁠
Our prenatal consults are led by experienced RN IBCLCs and available in person or online—so you can begin your breastfeeding journey with expert guidance at your side.⁠

Those 2 a.m. wake-ups? They’re actually protecting your baby. Night wakings are nature’s design. Let’s unpack it.

It’s one of the biggest surprises for new parents—how often a newborn wakes to feed, cuddle, or simply check that you’re near. While it can feel exhausting, these frequent wakings aren’t a sign something’s wrong—they’re a sign that your baby’s system is working exactly as it should.

Newborn sleep is biologically different from adult sleep. Babies have shorter sleep cycles (around 45–60 minutes) and spend more time in light, active sleep. This is protective:

• It helps prevent deep, prolonged sleep that could interfere with breathing regulation.

• It ensures frequent feeding to support steady growth and milk supply.

• It keeps your baby connected to your warmth, scent, and presence—key elements that promote bonding and safety.

So when your baby wakes at 1 a.m., 3 a.m., and 5 a.m., they’re not “bad sleepers.” They’re developing in the way nature intended.

Still, understanding why these wake-ups happen—and how to navigate them—can make a world of difference in your family’s rest and mental well-being. That’s where our Family Sleep Consults come in.

Our team of experts helps you:

🌙 Understand normal infant sleep patterns⁠
🤍 Create gentle, realistic nighttime routines that support your baby’s natural rhythms⁠
💤 Manage nighttime feedings and transitions as your baby grows⁠
✨ Establish healthy sleep habits for the entire family⁠
⁠
Because the goal isn’t to eliminate wake-ups overnight—it’s to approach them with knowledge, patience, and confidence.

✨ Schedule your Family Sleep Consult today—available in person or virtually at the link below.

Nurture your baby. Protect your rest. Build a rhythm that supports you both.
