Parenting on a Rollercoaster
When our babies are brand new eaters, they often look uncoordinated, sloppy, and sometimes even upset when being introduced to solid foods (aka purees). You might be concerned about your baby and wonder if they’re ok. In this post, we’ll look at some video examples of what new eaters look like when tackling thinned down purees.
Toddlers can be tricky to feed. They’ve got short attention spans and ever changing taste buds. It might seem like they barely eat a thing. But! We’re here to tell you that they can eat surprisingly little and still be well within their nutritional and caloric needs. Read on for more info!
“My two-year-old isn’t able to show me how old he is with his fingers. When asked how old he is, he’ll consistently hold up five fingers. Is this normal?”
If you’ve ever spent much time around newborns, infants, and toddlers, you might have noticed that their fingernails and toenails often look misshapen and potentially concerning.

It’s a sad day when your child destroys a beloved book. And it poses a dilemma: put the books on a higher shelf and limit your child’s free access to them OR leave the books lower, within their reach, but risk their destruction? The good news is that there’s another option.
Halloween and associated activities can get the adrenaline pumping in any of us but it can be especially scary and real to young children. Kids between the ages of two and four are still learning to distinguish between what is pretend and what is real. They have not yet developed the cognitive capacity to differentiate that on their own. Everything that enters their brains is treated equally at this age. And that can spill over into their dreams.
Older babies and younger toddlers are still learning a lot about their world and that includes meal times and food intake. From experience, I know that some of these things can be maddening.
