I’ve been working with parents for years and over those years, the age that you should test out the higher allergen foods has changed. More recently, it has come back around to adding in the allergens early, where as for a while, it was not to add in higher allergies such as tree nuts, until the age of 2.

First things first, toddlers are prone to having overwhelming feelings that result in a big release that ‘we’ call a tantrum. How a tantrum is handled can also result in how long it will last, how many more will follow and allow you to feel more empowered in the moment, instead of overwhelmed too.

Many parents will resort to having a lovey in the crib with their little one, usually once they are at least 6 months old, or when the parent feels confident to do so. What is a lovey and how can I get my child to attach to one?

Having a baby changes your life in a way that you could never have imagined. It can truly be a juggling act, and if you have a few children, you are constantly balancing schedules and making mental notes of who has to be where and when (confession: I have dropped the ball on the kids schedules many times and turned up at the wrong place at the wrong time). As a former nanny, I was much more organized and was able to get the children out of the door with lunch kits in hand by 8am. As a new Mum, I couldn’t get out the house until 2 in the afternoon !!

Many children poop at nap-time or bedtime before falling to sleep or in some cases on waking. When potty training, this can cause a great deal of stress for parents.

I used to think that self-care meant spending an entire day lounging around the spa and fancy nights out on the town with girlfriends. Don't get me wrong; days like that are still amazing! But, these days they're few and far between.

You've heard it many times, probably all day long, your little darling saying "NO" to you, over and over and over again. Although this can be very frustrating for you as a parent, this its actually a good thing.

Now that you are a parent of a little one, who maybe does or does not sleep well, you will come across the term 'SLEEP REGRESSION' a lot!
