MOMS ON CALL

They always say to enjoy your child’s attention why you've got it because it won’t last long. But there are times when that attention can become a problem. For example, when you have a jealous toddler that won’t let you interact with other people, especially other children. Also, when you have a baby that will only fall asleep when being held. This week on the podcast we have tips and tricks to get you through these seasons in your child’s life. 

Potty training can feel like the most overwhelming and stressful time as a parent. There will be moments where it can feel never-ending. That’s exactly what is happening to a mother in Houston who has been working with her toddler for over 5 months! How will she finally get over that hump and finally get him fully potty trained? We have the answer for her and all parents this week on the podcast, and it’s one that you are not expecting.

“Is this normal?” Every parent has asked that question more than once as their child gets older and more often than not the answer is “Yes!” This week on the podcast we’ll talk to two of those parents. First, we’ll talk to a mom that is worried about how much cooing her 13-week-old is doing. Then, a toddler in Colorado is refusing to let her parents read to her. Is it normal? 

What is a doula? Today on the podcast we’ll talk to the Baby Chick herself Nina Spears all about exactly how a doula supports moms-to-be through the pregnancy and birth process. She has helped over 700 women and as a pregnancy, birth, and postpartum expert, has all the best tips on getting moms through this special time. Nina will give us a list of everything a mom needs to get her through each trimester. For more on Nina Spears and Baby Chic visit Baby-Chic.com. Follow Nina Spears on Instagram @thebabychick. Subscribe to Chick Chat on Apple Podcasts or Spotify or follow them on Instragram @thebabychickchat 

What do you do when your toddler is starting to transition away from naps but the daycare still requires them? We’ll give you tips on what you can tell your toddler to help them follow those rules at daycare and still take a nap. Plus, it’s that time of the year that it can seem like your child is sick every weekend. This week we’ll tell you why we recommend a cool mist humidifier for your baby and when and how to use it.

Keeping our kids safe can be the most challenging part of parenting. This week on the podcast we’ll tackle car seat safety. How do you know your car seat is properly installed? Should your baby’s head be flopping around? We’ll tell you where you can go to answer all these questions in person with someone trained in car seat safety. Speaking of safety, when is it safe to allow your toddler to go up and down the stairs all on their own? A mother in Florida is wondering if she’s being a little too overprotective with her three and a half year old daughter. Do you have a question for the Moms On Call?
