Written by: Isabella Caprario It’s almost a rite of passage for parents to build out a baby’s room when expecting a child. But it can also be a source of unnecessary stress if it’s not a well-planned project. When it comes time to create a nursery or children’s room, the limitations of time, space, and money are usually big limitations for many parents. There’s also the issue of safety and childproofing. But choosing nursery room decor and baby’s room decor you love can be a fun, rewarding, and successful undertaking even with (and sometimes even because of) those significant considerations.  If you’re thinking about creating a newborn room for your infant, read on for some great nursery room ideas, newborn baby...

i would love to introduce you to Ray, who is an almost 3 month old amazing little boy. i cannot show his picture because he is a foster infant, but i would still love to paint a picture. Ray is living with his foster-to-adopt mom and they were both having a hard time. Ray could not be soothed, their attachment was struggling, and his foster-mom was exhausted.

Written By: Jamie Labbe, MSOwner/Founder of Oh Baby ConsultingPediatric Sleep ConsultantAs a pediatric sleep specialist, one of most common things I get asked about is whether there is an “X month sleep regression.” The short answer is yes as there are certainly noticeable sleep disruptions when your baby is working on a new skill or going through a mental leap. However, it’s actually a bit more complex than that. Though most true sleep regressions are due to progressions in other areas of your child’s development and normally subside within 1-2 weeks (if your little one was a good sleeper to begin with), there is one “regression” that is different from the rest in that it is a total reorganization of your baby’s brain and sleep cycles....
