MOMS ON CALL

One of the big things we talk about at Moms on Call is being intentional with your children. In this episode, we’re going to talk about the ways we’ve done that in our own families, seen others do it and hopefully give you some ideas of your own. Here’s what we have for you: How unpopular choices can make you a role model for life. Laura’s lightbulb moment about nighttime with her kids. Using Tender Time to set the foundation for your home. Giving yourself freedom from your toddler’s behavior and words. Your questions: When my baby is sick, should I let them nap longer? We unexpectedly lost my husband last year and everything has changed; how can I help my 4 year old transition through all of these changes and reestablish some type of routine and structure for her? Will my child’s primary motivator from your Toddler by Design program stay the same, or does it change as they get older?

About Catherine Mitchell JaxonAs a food allergy mom, Catherine and her husband, JJ, understand what living with allergies is like. Their oldest daughter is allergic to most nuts. When their third child was born, they discovered Dr. Gideon Lack's groundbreaking research that found up to 86% of peanut allergies could be prevented by starting peanut foods in infancy. It gave them hope that they could prevent another food allergy in their family, but nuts and nut butters are a choking hazard for babies, and the entire baby food industry is allergen-free. So, they decided to make their own.About Dr. Gideon LackDr. Gideon Lack is one of the world’s leading pediatric allergists. His research has revolution­ized food allergy prevention and is transforming the way we feed our kids. Dr. Lack’s groundbreaking Learning Early About Peanut Allergy (LEAP) Study found that most peanut allergies could be prevented by in­cluding peanut protein in babies’ diets - early and often. And subsequent studies, including Dr. Lack’s EAT Study , have shown this proactive approach can work for other foods as well. His research upended decades of outdated food allergy advice and led to new American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines recommending early peanut introduction in infancy and new USDA Dietary Guidelines recommending early introduction of all common food allergens in infancy.
