As a mom, I love doing everything I can for my children. I love being needed by them and I love being their go to person. However, I am also a big believer in moderation and balance. I believe children need some independence and autonomy. If I do everything for them, they won’t learn certain skills on their own. Part… Read More
Let’s Talk About: Premama
As a mom, breastfeeding is so important to me. My milk supply was low for my first child and I struggled to have enough milk to last through the first year. I wasn’t as educated in lactation support as I am now and didn’t know I had to be proactive on keeping my supply up. I naively thought since breastfeeding… Read More
Let’s Talk About: Ergobaby
As soon as the Ergobaby Four Position 360 Baby Carrier was released a few years ago, my daughter was around 8 months old. I couldn’t wait to have my hands on one. I had been secretly envious of my friends that had an Ergobaby and wanted one of my own. It was sold out everywhere at first but I finally bought mine… Read More
Let’s Talk About: Hooray Littles
When I first saw that this product existed, I knew I had to have one. My daughter loved to be swaddled just as much as her brother does and if this product existed back when she was an infant I would have wanted one then, too! Luckily, I found out about it while my son is still in the swaddle… Read More
Let’s Talk About: Munchkin
I often joke that I use so many different Munchkin products, I should own stock in the company. From my diaper pail, to sippy cups, plates, snack cups, bottle brushes and a dishwasher basket, to bath toys, you name it, we own it. And I can’t wait to try their Gluten Free Lactation Chocolate Chip Cookies! And I do… Read More
Let’s Talk About: Binxy Baby
Trips to the grocery store, or any store for that matter, can be stressful and overwhelming if you have small children. In addition to possible distractions, long lines, and intermittent tantrums, the last thing you want to think about is if your children are safe. According to the Binxy Baby website, falls from shopping carts are among the leading… Read More
Let’s Talk About: The Ollie World
If there was one product I wish I had when my daughter was a baby it would have been an Ollie swaddle. It is a genius product with so many benefits. Not only does the Ollie ease the transition from the womb, there are many other therapeutic benefits of the Ollie that include decreasing irritability and promoting self soothing, encouraging… Read More
Let’s Talk About: DockATot
What can I say? I love my DockATot! As a mom, I look for safety, functionality, price, and quality when I use a new product and DockATot exceeds all of my standards and expectations! And I can tell my son loves it too. He is content in it during the day and sleeps comfortably and peacefully in it throughout the night…. Read More
Let’s Talk About: Baby Essentials You’ll Fall In Love With
As a second time mom, I have simplified the items I have bought for my baby this time around. Of course there are some staple products like pacifiers, a nursing pump with a car adapter, sterilizer, bottles, and a diaper pail that are necessary (read my nursery essentials blog here http://theparentologist.com/lets-talk-about-nursery-essentials-and-the-baby-cubby/) but I made a list of very specific products… Read More
Let’s Talk About: My Postpartum Wellness Plan
Now that I have healed enough from my c-section and have the go-ahead from my doctor, I am very excited to be able to focus more on my fitness, health, and wellbeing (and let’s be honest – fitting into my jeans again). Each Friday morning I will share my postpartum wellness plan with you including what I am doing mentally… Read More
