This episode is all about a year in review of being a mom. There is so much to reflect on from the first year with my daughter Sarelle. Countless lessons have been learned and so much knowledge has been gained in a short period of time. Of course, there is so much I could share, but I have condensed it down to 12 things that I think are the biggest takeaways that will benefit any mom or mom-to-be. I am no expert and I don't claim to have all the answers. All I can do is share my experiences with you. I know you will relate, and I hope these takeaways guide you on your own motherhood journey. Highlights from this episode: Sarelle's 50-week milestones The best learning is the experience Bed-sharing vs. co-sleeping Be open-minded and go with the flow Sleep is always changing Our hybrid approach to sleep practices When people offer you help accept it Breastfeeding non-stop helps increase milk supply Bonding and engaging with your baby Be prepared with activities & snacks for car trips Less is more, you don't need so many clothes Fresh air makes for a happy baby and better sleep Make it a priority to socialize your baby Stay connected with other moms Follow your instincts when it comes to feeding your baby solids Parenthood means to stay humble & stay present Babywearing is important Show sponsor: Nook Sleep (use the code ULTIMATEBABY to save 15% off) Related links: Follow @marniwasserman and @ultimatehealthpodcast on Instagram for Sarelle (baby TUB) updates Raffi - Essentials Sesame Street - Platinum All-Time Favourites Lisa Loeb - Silly Sing-Along Sharon, Lois, and Bram - The Elephant Show Record Rockabye Baby! - Essentials Jax and Lennon Clothing Co.
