YOURTiny HANDS

Before having kids, I didn’t think much about choosing a car seat that had easily removable and washable fabrics. But soon after having my baby, I realized just how important it really is. My daughter was a frequent spitter, leaving the harness and fabrics smelling sour. And of course, there were several times when she decided to fill her diaper beyond the max, requiring quick removal and a deep clean! Babies don’t mean to be messy, but the leaks and spitting are inevitable! That’s why it’s important to know how to quickly remove and clean the lining of your infant car seat, so that you can keep your car seat…

Waking up through the night to feed your baby is one of the main responsibilities of every new parent, but when does your baby stop needing milk in the middle of the night? You may already know that the time between your baby’s feeds gets longer and longer as they get older, with the nighttime feedings eventually stopping. However, you might not know the specifics of when your baby will need feeding according to their age and developmental stage. That’s why we’re here to clarify, with schedules for nighttime feeding up to a year old and a downloadable chart for easy reference! Whether you’re breast or bottle feeding, we have…

Your baby will (hopefully!) be doing a lot of napping in their first couple years of life, but exactly how often should your baby be snoozing in the daytime? Figuring out a consistent napping schedule for your baby isn’t only a great way to introduce some routine to their life early on, but can also ensure they’re catching the Zs they need to aid their growth and development. Your baby’s daytime sleep and the number of naps a day they need are highly dependent on their age, which is why we’ve put together some quick guides so you can create an effective baby nap schedule for every stage. Why are…

Until having kids, I didn’t know much about the pelvic floor muscles. You hear all the time how important it is to exercise and strengthen all the muscles in your body, but when do you ever hear about the pelvic floor being part of that? It wasn’t until I was pregnant with my first baby that I was even told by my OBGYN that regular exercise of the pelvic floor was important when he brought up Kegels and told me I should start incorporating them into my day to day life, but I didn’t see much of a point. How could something so simple make a difference? Well, after having my…

Pregnancy is super overwhelming to say the least. Trying to become pregnant, being pregnant, childbirth, a newborn…the list goes on and on. Sometimes it can be downright scary with all of the new vocabulary thrown out at you, and a lot of times when you look up the words they are more frightening and less “the joys of motherhood.” Knowledge is truly power, though, and there are great resources to help support you and keep you in the loop throughout your pregnancy. One of these scary terms that you may hear mentioned or may experience first hand is ectopic pregnancy. Here are nine questions and answers to keep you in the…

When having a baby, we have countless decisions to make, from what baby gear to buy to the type of delivery you’re hoping to have and the way you’d like to parent. After having my daughter, one of the first questions asked by my nurses was about my plans to breast or bottle feed. I knew I wanted to at least try breastfeeding, but I quickly realized just how challenging it can be. Not only was my daughter struggling to stay latched, but I was in a lot of pain. Thankfully, I had great nurses to assist me, but it was at this time and the weeks following that I realized…
