    Sep 11 2024

    Sometimes parenting feels like it's just a big mess of adapting to change. In this episode, we dive into one of the big ones - the transition from crib to toddler bed. Hit play to find out how the change is going for Jordan and her family, and pick up some tips, tricks, and guidelines for when your little one is ready for the transition themselves.

    We also take (another) little dip into boundary-setting: this time, it's all about bringing home the newborn. If you're curious about the most common boundaries new parents set for their visitors, or wondering which lines you should draw yourself, listen in!
