Baby Basics Atlanta

It’s been WAY too long! Instagram, I’m back! For those of you who don’t know me, I’m a pediatric nurse of 25 years (currently a part-time school nurse), sleep and infant-toddler consultant, prenatal educator and a balanced, supportive (I believe in paci’s and bottles) lactation consultant. My DEEPEST passion is partnering with new families and help shorten the learning curve and providing DAILY support. Could you use some guidance? Reach out! I have a variety of packages to meet all goals and needs. Keep in mind though, NONE of my packages are single interactions. I believe in a relationship that is ongoing. Kids change minute by minute. I’ll be there to support you along the way. Reach out; don’t wait-DM TODAY!

No professional photo for this post! Just my precious dog and me! Yes, I have a few kiddos, too, but Sadie is absolutely the BEST and wanted to share. :+)

Teething baby?

❤️❤️ these silicone teethers.

Fill with purées and freeze. Baby girl is loving frozen mango and frozen sweet potato + apples!

Best part for parents? Happy baby + easy to clean.

It’s that time of the year! Sniffles, fevers, cough and more have definitely appeared. Sitting at the pediatrician on Friday reminded me of something so do and share with you: clean toys that go in the mouth regularly!! (just like washing hands regularly).

REMEMBER: you must let cleaning products sit on the surface for a designated amount of time (check cleaning product recommendations), rub item and/or use hot, soapy water to effectively kill those nasty bugs.

2 of our 5 are down for the count but 🤞🏻 the rest of us remain flu free!

Happy National Read a Book Day! Read to your kids early and often. Research is clear that reading is a wonderful way to promote verbal skills and brain activity in your infants and toddlers.

My favorites include ANY book but my absolute favorite for morning: Hey Wake Up bedtime: The Going to Bed Book. Check them out! Enjoy this time with your kids. It flies by way to fast. Before you know it, they’ll be reading on their own and no more snuggles with a book together.

Remain flexible. Try for a couple of naps per day in the crib but also consider how wonderful contact naps and flexible naps can be for baby AND caregivers. Nothing more special than a sleeping 😴 👶in your arms!
