This episode is all about Baby Wearing!

My guest is a baby wearing expert and we're diving into things like:

- Acknowledgement of baby wearing as a practice culturally around the world.

- The marketing in North America of what a baby carrier is (and maybe what it isn't) and the recent science and benefits of Baby Wearing.

- How to wear baby safely? (Positions/types of carriers/forward facing vs facing in/ what carrier is best for when?).

- What parents do if they find baby doesn't like the wrap / carrier

Join me in a conversation with Osteopath, Kaitlyn Sobey.

I can't tell you how often I refer parents to an Osteopath for their little one, and I hear from other families all the time how much those visits have benefited them! So, now's your chance to learn more about it and how it could potentially help your baby or yourself ;)

This is THE episode to listen to when you have a bigger kid (or, you're about to!).

My guest, Kim Marshall is a mom of 2 and the founder of Roots & Wings Childhood. As a Conscious Parenting Coach, she helps parents understand their child's behaviour and provides incredibly helpful tools to help us all navigate what to do.

In this episode, Kim and I are talking about behaviour for kids of all ages, but particularly those Toddlers and Preschoolers who are finding their voice but can struggle to understand their feelings.

But wait! There's more. Join our FREE Bringing Up Baby Community to gain access to Kim's helpful handout as well as a Live Parenting Q&A session with Kim on Tuesday, September 24th at 12pm ADT. If this time has passed, don't worry, it's being recorded and you can check it out in our Community any time!

While Bringing Up Baby is technically a bi-weekly show, I just had to bring you this extra bit of uplifting info from Sharyn Timmerman.

Sharyn is a Child Behaviour Specialist, who works in children’s behaviour from birth to the early teen years.

Her career began over 30 years ago with an Early Childhood Education degree and she is now the founder of The Early Years Family Development Center and she coaches parents through a wide variety of childhood stages

She has created and delivers many parenting workshops, like the “Tools in your Pocket” series, as well as staff training programs in the pre-school and elementary school environment. She’s also the Founder and Director of “The Child Behavior Certification Program”. Which is a 14 week course specializing in certifying child behavior specialists across Canada, The United States, Russia and Europe.

Sharyn is a faculty member of the “Family Sleep Institute” which is actually where we were first connected, as well as the National Association For The Education of Young Children, the Canadian Association of Early Childhood Educators and the International Association of Child Sleep Consultants.

Her guiding principles come from the idea that “there are answers to every problem. She provides a safe place where parents can see the great things they are doing, learn new skills along the way and bring life to learning for their children.”


If you want to feel good about your parenting and hear about some ways to foster secure attachment as baby grows up, this is a must listen!

There are a lot of great resources and information out there for us to take in to help us learn about babies, there’s also a lot of noise and MISinformation. I’m here to help you sift through it all so that you can make the best INFORMED decisions possible for YOUR baby and YOUR family.

Your days are busy and your time is precious, so each episode is designed to be short and sweet so the information is easily digestible and something to take in on-the-go if necessary. We’re going to explore a wide variety of topics and breakdown top recommendations on things like feeding, sleep, attachment, safety and so much more.

We are here to share information and give practical tips to help you get through baby’s first year and beyond. If you’re looking to learn more about your baby, gain more confidence in your parenting, and get as much sleep as you can through it all, you’ve come to the right place.
