For SIDS awareness month, I had Cayla on the podcast (we've talked before) to chat about SIDS and safe sleep, as well as to answer a ton of questions I had submitted regarding sleep struggles. There is probably information relevant to you, whether you asked a question or not! Either way, it's a good listen.... Continue Reading →
October is such a busy month for awareness. Though I think people should make an effort to be aware 365 days of the year, months like this do help to boost overall, long-term awareness (or it seems like they do!).

It's hard being a mama on maternity leave sometimes - you keep having to rack your brain for things to do everyday. Not even so much for baby (depending on their age), but sometimes for your own sanity! I like some full days at home a week (we still get out for walks around the... Continue Reading →

I think fevers are so misunderstood. There is a surprising amount of misinformation surrounding them, a general misunderstanding of what actually constitutes a fever, and lots of confusion surrounding their physiology and treatment.

There is what seems to be a great urgency, in some groups of people, to send kids back to school or childcare as soon as possible. I'm not a parent to a toddler or a school-age child yet so I don't know what it's like exactly, but I do get the call for help. I... Continue Reading →
