Remember being tickled as a kid—that mix of laughter and love?

That’s serve and return in action. These little back-and-forth moments build your child’s brain, strengthen connection, and shape how they feel safe and seen in the world.

🧠✨ As Dr. Jack Shonkoff from Harvard’s Center on the Developing Child reminds us, “Serve and return interactions are essential for healthy brain development.”

Generational Shift

💛 This generation, we parent with science on our side. Early relational health gives our children a stronger emotional foundation than previous generations knew. Small, daily connections make a big difference.

Packing the diaper bag is essential, but what about unpacking your emotional baggage?

Would you believe you already have a "way" of parenting imprinted on you before you become a parent?

Do you know how your partner will respond when the baby cries?

How you were parented has a direct impact on what you do when you become a parent. Anything you want to change? Do the same?

You're not alone on this path. Let's unpack it together.

It’s all about environment and context. That’s why it’s always about the individual relationship, not a general rule or guideline 💜
Be you with your baby!!!

Early relationships with caregivers are the foundation for infant mental health. Yet the study of parent-infant interaction has been almost exclusively shaped by Euro-American caregiving norms emphasizing visual face-to-face interaction, verbal responsiveness, and positive emotional display as core....

Some days, toddlerhood feels like standing in a downpour of big emotions.

Yours. Theirs.

Here’s the science part: when your child’s stress response takes over, their brain actually needs your presence to find calm again.

The tricky part??? You’re human too.

So when the storm hits, try this, not to fix it, but to ground yourself in kindness:

💛 Remind yourself it’s okay to struggle
💛 Let go of perfect calm; “good enough” regulation helps
💛 Know that every storm you move through together builds connection

Parenting through toddlerhood isn’t about controlling the weather.

It’s about showing up, soaked and steady, with love.

Little by little, your presence becomes their calm, their safe place in every storm. 🤍

The first years of a child's life lay the foundation for everything to come—and it's all about connection.

Early relational health means nurturing a warm, responsive bond between caregiver and child. This bond supports a child's emotional growth, brain development, and future relationships.

When you respond to your baby's needs with care and consistency, you're not only comforting them—you're shaping their brain's wiring for resilience and trust.

Curious how these early moments impact your child's development? Let's talk about the science together and find ways to nurture these important connections every day.

Sometimes, the most healing thing you can do as a parent is just say it out loud.

Putting your feelings and needs into words helps untangle the overwhelm. It’s okay to take space, ask for help, and speak the parts of parenting that feel heavy.

You don’t have to carry it all alone. Naming what’s inside is its own kind of relief.

Every baby deserves to be celebrated!!

I built Baby and Me out of my own longing for support — for someone who could meet me in the worry, not fix it.

My child pushed every button I had. I questioned everything I thought I knew about parenting.

What I needed was someone steady, grounded in attachment and early relational health, to help me find my footing again.

Every parent deserves that. You don't need to walk this alone.
