For mothers navigating the beautiful chaos of raising little ones, here's a reminder:

Success isn't about perfection, and failures aren't fatal.

It's the bravery to persevere, to love fiercely, and to keep showing up that defines true success in motherhood.

Keep shining, listen to that inner voice, she's speaking your language!

Weaning off the pacifier is much more succesful when we have STRATEGIC PLAN - starting around 6 and working toward 12 months... starting with these reasons:

ORAL DEVELOPMENT: Prolonged pacifier use can potentially impact oral development, leading to dental issues like misalignment of teeth or changes in the roof of the mouth. Weaning off the pacifier at an appropriate age can help mitigate these concerns.

SPEECH DEVELOPMENT: Extended pacifier use might affect speech development, as it could interfere with the natural movements of the tongue and mouth essential for speech formation. Weaning can encourage proper oral muscle development for clearer speech.

DEPENDENCY: Babies can become overly reliant on the pacifier for comfort, making it challenging for them to self-soothe without it. Gradual weaning allows them to learn other ways to comfort themselves, fostering independence.

I cover these 3 primary reasons having a PLAN is most beneficial... for you AND your beautiful baby.

I respect that every child is different, but each child still grows through similar patterns.

The weaning process should be done gradually and gently, another reason to get in sync with your little one early on and build natural attunement.

Motherhood, for many, is an odyssey of self-discovery.

It's akin to stepping into uncharted territory, where the familiar ground gives way to a labyrinth of unknowns.

In this maze, one encounters moments that demand strengths lying dormant within—a resilience that emerges only when tested by the challenges of nurturing another life.

When Linda Wooten spoke of uncovering strengths, she delved into the heart of this transformative journey.

Motherhood becomes the catalyst for unraveling layers of oneself, revealing capabilities that remained concealed until the responsibilities of caring for a child emerged.

It's in facing fears that the true depth of these strengths is illuminated.

The fears, once unnoticed or unimaginable, suddenly loom large—a constant presence in a mother's mind.

Yet, in confronting these fears head-on, a mother taps into a wellspring of courage. It's a courage that isn't flamboyant or loud but rather steadfast, silently guiding her through the maze of uncertainties.

And as she navigates this uncharted path, she realizes that her growth isn't just personal but intrinsic to the essence of motherhood itself.

It's a metamorphosis—a journey from uncertainty to conviction, from apprehension to resilience.

This quote reflects the profound evolution that mothers undergo—a journey that shapes not only their relationship with their children, but also their own sense of self.

In the silent whispers of a toddler's heart, there's a prayer only a mother can understand.

Their innocent spirit speaks volumes, reaching out with love, trust, and unspoken dreams.

May we always have the ears to listen, the hearts to feel, and the arms to hold them close. 🙏💫

Through the laughter, the mischief, and the purest love, a toddler's heart sends out prayers that echo in our souls.

Let's cherish these unspoken moments, embracing the profound connection that transcends words. In their tiny whispers, we find the most heartfelt conversations. 💖

For new parents, this quote serves as a reminder of the dual role you play in your child's life.

It highlights the balance between providing a strong, supportive foundation (roots) and allowing your child the freedom to explore, learn, and become his/her own person (wings).

As a new parent be mindful of how you can create a nurturing and stable environment at home while also fostering an environment that encourages your child's independence, curiosity, and creativity.

By striking this balance (which is no easy task, mind you) - you can help your children develop into well-rounded, confident, and capable individuals (with their own unique flare).

Of course there will be mistakes along the way ... but that's where 'pruning' and extra watering with a heavy dose of sunshine ☀️ come into play.

🌟 To all the new moms navigating the wonderful world of toddlers, here's a gentle reminder from the timeless wisdom of Fred Rogers: play is the cornerstone of early education.

In those spontaneous giggles and imaginative games, our little ones are mastering essential life skills. 🎨🤹

Let's celebrate the magic of playtime, where curious minds and caring hearts come alive.

Every splash, every climb, and every laugh are precious moments of discovery.

🌈 Embrace the beauty of these playful beginnings; in play, children learn empathy, creativity, and problem-solving.

As parents, we are their first and best playmates, guiding them through a world of endless possibilities.

Together, let's cherish these moments and nurture their curiosity, one playdate at a time!

It's a common 'go to' and has been around for centuries, so why are there so many questions?

Do ALL babies use pacifiers?

Are there possible risks or side effects?

What can I do INSTEAD to help my fussy baby?

In this episode I cover these questions and strategies to build your understanding, make a PLAN, and create a strategy for each stage of your baby's first year.

All babies are not equal ... you know that, so we have to sometimes step back and look at a variety of possibilities.

While pacifiers have some benefits, there are some downsides. And since many babies often fall in love with theirs, it’s worth considering both sides of the debate BEFORE you introduce them (if possible).

After listening through this episode, you'll feel much more confident and ready to ease your baby's fussiness ... with AND without a pacifier.

Enjoy this episode and don’t forget to share.

Embracing the beauty of babywearing - it's not just about keeping our little ones close, but also nurturing ourselves. ❤️

Our journey through postpartum recovery can be beautifully intertwined with the art of babywearing 💖 bringing comfort, strength, and endless love.

Studies have shown that the close physical contact of babywearing promotes attachment and bonding.

I have read research demonstrating how parents who practice babywearing are more responsive to their baby's needs, most likely due to developing co-regulation (which I talk about in Talking Toddlers Episode 63 )

https://www.buzzsprout.com/1974663/13788767

Babywearing also appears to promote language development - which always brings a smile to my face! 🙌

Let me know what you think about babywearing ... did you try it?
Are you trying it now?
Does it / did it help?

Fussy babies, pacifiers, self-soothing, and self-regulation…

We continue the conversation in this episode as there seems to be a lot of nuances we can’t overlook.

- oral motor development (how your baby’s mouth is shaped)
- speech sounds and eating skills
- breathing and upper respiratory health
- sleep, rest and recovery

Remember, my purpose is to demonstrate how EVERYTHING is related - especially in those first three years.

Our PRIMARY GOAL - help your baby / toddler develop into a happy, healthy, engaged and curious 7 year old.

This episode, I cover 5 Tips To Help Settle Your Baby (only one small part is using a pacifier).

Although there are periods where it may feel like we won’t last … I promise the more we focus on the moment, trying different strategies - the more you’ll both find peace.

Nurturing Independence: 🚀

To all the wonderful moms out there, parenting is a delicate balance between protection and freedom.

Our toddlers are at an age where their minds are like sponges, soaking up knowledge from every little experience.

Margaret Mead's profound words, 'Children must be taught HOW to think, not WHAT to think,' echo the essence of fostering independent and critical thinkers.

As mothers, it's our responsibility to provide a safe environment where our little ones can explore, question, and learn. Instead of hovering over them, we can EMPOWER them by allowing them to make choices within boundaries.

Yes, it might get messy, and yes, they might stumble along the way, but in those moments of exploration and curiosity, they are developing essential life skills.

Encouraging independence doesn't mean abandoning guidance; it means nurturing their ability to solve problems, make decisions, and form their own opinions.

It means being there to catch them when they fall but also allowing them the space to spread their wings and fly.

Every puzzle piece they fit together, every question they ask, and every mistake they make is a step toward becoming confident, independent thinkers.

So, dear moms, let's embrace the beautiful chaos of toddlerhood. Let's celebrate their endless 'whys' and support their wild imaginations.

In giving them the freedom to think for themselves, we are gifting them a treasure far more valuable than we can imagine - the ability to navigate the world with courage, curiosity, and resilience. 🌟💫

👶 Embracing the messy, magical journey of motherhood! Remember, even Einstein knew that mistakes are just stepping stones to brilliance! 💫🍼

As a first-time mom, the learning curve can be steep. Here are some common mistakes we all might make, along with tips to help avoid them:

1) Overreacting to Crying: It's natural for babies to cry, but new moms might panic and think something is seriously wrong. Babies cry for various reasons, including hunger, diaper change, or tiredness. Understanding their cues can help moms respond appropriately.

2) Neglecting Self-Care: New moms often focus entirely on your baby and forget to take care of themselves. It's crucial to rest, eat well, and accept help from others. A well-rested and healthy mom is better equipped to care for her baby.

3) Not Asking for Help: Pride or fear of judgment can prevent new moms from asking for help. It's okay to seek assistance, whether it's with household chores, baby care, or emotional support. A strong support system is invaluable.

4) Overstimulation: Newborns can easily become overstimulated by excessive noise, light, or handling. It's important to provide a calm and quiet environment, especially during nap and bedtime.

5) Incorrect Holding and Feeding: Incorrect holding positions or improper latching during breastfeeding can lead to discomfort for both the baby and the mom. Seeking guidance from lactation consultants or healthcare providers can help establish proper feeding techniques.

6) Delaying Sleep Training: While it's natural for babies to wake up during the night, establishing a bedtime routine and teaching your baby to sleep independently (when appropriate) can prevent sleep-related issues later on.

Remember, every mom learns through trial and error, and it's okay to make mistakes. What's important is to learn from them, stay patient, and adapt parenting techniques based on your baby's needs and cues.

Share with a new mom and let her know mistakes are just a part of the parenting journey!
