"Just do your kegels" is not a pelvic floor plan. đźš«

We brought in the one and only Floor PT — Dr. Sara Reardon — to talk about everything your OB didn't tell you about your pelvic floor during pregnancy. Kegels, perineal massage, the 6-week clearance myth, coached pushing, and what the first 72 hours postpartum actually look like.

This episode will change how you think about your body. 🎙️✨

If you walked out of your 6-week appointment feeling "cleared for everything" but still not quite right — this episode is for you. 💛

Episode 21 of The Be Well Baby Podcast features Dr. Sara Reardon, pelvic floor PT with nearly 20 years of experience, TED presenter, national bestselling author of Floored, and the voice behind the wildly popular . We cover what your pelvic floor is doing, trimester by trimester, when kegels actually help (and when they make things worse), perineal massage, postpartum recovery, and why waiting until something is wrong is waiting too long.

Your pelvic floor deserves more than an afterthought. 🙌

Your partner isn’t just a bystander in this process — they’re part of the team. 🤝

Dr. Sara Reardon () says it best: if you’re reading the books, they should be reading the books. If you’re going to sessions, they should be going to sessions. Pregnancy and postpartum isn’t something you do alone — and the time to start building that partnership is now, not after birth.

It’s crazy to think you’re raising a human who will see things that don’t even exist yet.

They’ll witness technology we can’t imagine.
They’ll form friendships we’ll never know.
They’ll travel to places you may have never heard of.
They’ll have thoughts, ideas, and passions entirely their own.

Right now they’re tiny.
Needing you for everything.
Curled into your chest at 2am.

YOU were there at the very beginning. And that’s pretty extraordinary.

Today, we celebrate you — the one growing life, recovering from birth, feeding at 3 am, asking hard questions, and figuring out who you are on the other side of it all.

Whether you're pregnant, postpartum, newly parenting, or just beginning to dream about what this chapter holds — we see you. We're honored to walk alongside you.
At Be Well Baby, our whole mission is to make sure you don't just survive this season. You thrive in it.

Happy International Women's Day. 🤍

“How’s potty training going?”

*eye twitches*

Because, well...
• Yesterday they happily sat on the potty
• Today they refuse to walk into the bathroom
• They’ll p*e anywhere except the toilet
• They insist they’re “done” and then… aren’t
• They’ll p**p in a pull-up but not the potty
• They’re dry all morning and soaked by lunch
• They’re suddenly terrified of the flush

If you’re in it, you KNOW.

Potty learning isn’t linear.
It’s nervous system development, body awareness, timing, temperament...and yes, a lot of patience.

Pressure usually backfires.
Comparison makes it harder.
And weekend bootcamps don’t work for every child.

If you want support that works with your child’s body and rhythm, we’d love to get you and your baby through it.

If you’re local to the Portland area, comment TRAINING and we’ll send you the link to sign up for our workshop with Annie Adamson this Sunday 3/8.

Episode 20- Matrescence: Why You Don’t Feel Like Yourself After Birth with Emily Sferra ✨🌿

You prepared for birth. You prepared for the baby. But no one fully prepared you for the identity shift.

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Emily Sferra of Perennial Health Acupuncture. She holds a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and brings a Five Element lens to perinatal care. What makes her work different is not just her training, but her philosophy. She understands that our minds and bodies are deeply connected, and that true healing happens when we feel genuinely cared for.

We talk about matrescence, mental-emotional wellbeing, and what it looks like to approach postpartum care with depth and heart.

If you have ever thought, “Why don’t I feel like myself?” this episode is for you. 🤍

As winter softens and the first hints of spring begin to emerge, we are reminded that healing and growth happen in seasons. Early parenthood can feel tender and stretching all at once. This month, we are creating space for honest conversations, practical support, and deep care. Care for your baby. Care for your recovering body. Care for your relationships, your nervous system, and yourself. You do not have to navigate this season alone.

I just returned from presenting at CSM, the largest physical therapy conference in the country, hosted by — where thousands of clinicians from around the world gather to learn and refine their practice.

The depth of the questions and the thoughtfulness in those rooms reminded me how ready this field is to support parents with more nuance, more skill, and more awareness.

We spoke about helping families truly understand their babies.

For the second session, joined me to discuss breastfeeding as the first motor milestone that’s foundational to development.

Bringing what we do every day at Be Well Baby to a national stage felt meaningful in a very steady, grounded way.

This is why I teach.
This is why I mentor.

Babies deserve providers who understand them completely.
And families deserve to know that the support they’re looking for actually exists.

If you’re a clinician who wants to understand infants in a more integrated, evidence-based way, our next class is in September. We’ll be sharing more details soon.
