When my son was 18 months old, I realized I was going to be going on a 15-hour road trip with him, solo. At the time, we were moving 1000 miles from our home in New Jersey to Green Bay, Wisconsin.

I was quickly overwhelmed, but knew I needed something… and I needed it fast! So, what do I do?  I go to one of my trusty virtual moms’ groups and write a post looking for gate recommendations, and any other baby-proofing items they love.

I realize I am in the thick of it, and most people would understand if I did not shower, cook, walk, eat, or do anything besides care for these tiny humans.

We all know about the three “Trimesters” of pregnancy. But have you heard of the “fourth trimester?” It is a term coined by Dr. Harvey Karp for the first three months of your baby’s life.

So, now that we have an infant, my love for travel has not changed one bit.  What HAS changed?  My perspective & expectations!

Myth #1: A child's first dentist visit should occur at age 3 Fact: A child should visit the dentist for the first time within six months of their first tooth erupting, and no later than their first birthday.

Making homemade baby food is literally one of my favorite things to do right now.  I’ll be honest, I don’t even like to cook, but there is something different about making food for my little guy that has its own charm.

Baby’s first year is full of so many milestones. Excitement abounds as baby begins crawling, eating solid foods, and mumbling those precious first words, among many other firsts! Many parents are in-tune with their baby’s pediatrician schedule for well-child checks, but what about the dentist?! When should your baby have their first dentist visit?

However, having a newborn baby can definitely make these next few weeks during the holidays a bit more…challenging to manage. Especially if you are new to breastfeeding.

Dad plays a significant role in the breastfeeding journey and is no longer just something that “the women” should be concerned about. Partners are crucial to the success of breastfeeding.
