This week on the podcast, we welcome Damon Korb, MD, FAAP. As a developmental and behavioral pediatrician and the father of 5, Dr. Korb knows a little something about raising kids who are confident, independent, and self-reliant. He joins us to talk about his book, Raising an Organized Child. It helps parents develop their children's organized thinking skills and executive function. These skills are tied to developmental milestones, so whether a child is an infant or a teenager, it's never too late (or too early!) to foster organization in him or her and harmony in the whole family. It's an especially relevant topic now that we all find ourselves at home with our kids on the regular and want those homes (and our children) to be in order!Follow Dr. KorbWebsite: Raising an Organized ChildTwitter: @OrganizedChild and @DrKorbRead the BookRaising an Organized Child--Our online parenting programs are HERE!!

Breastfeeding can be a beautiful part of the new mom experience but it can also be daunting and disappointing. This week on the podcast, certified lactation consultant Katie Kennedy, IBCLC, talks with me about what mamas can do to set themselves up for breastfeeding success (and what success really means when it comes to this sensitive area)...and what they can do if it feeding their babies doesn’t go as planned.————————————————Looking for even more advice on breastfeeding or on ALL things new baby?The New Baby Blueprint: Taking Care if You and Your Little One is on shelves now and online wherever books are sold.The Bump said: "They say motherhood doesn’t come with a manual, but The New Baby Blueprint, brought to you by the American Academy of Pediatrics, comes pretty close. Author Whitney Casares, a pediatrician and mom of two, walks expectant parents through all the essentials of prepping for baby’s arrival, including what to expect in the first days and weeks, and how to prepare your home, your partner and your brain for having a newborn—all through a relatable mix of humor and practical advice."--Our online parenting programs are HERE!!
