you’re not alone!

Can we TALK about the fact that moms get overstimulated and it's mistaken for anger...🔥

No, I'm not angry; I've heard mom 500 times since the minute I woke up, the tv is so loud, the washer is going, noises outside, there's laundry to fold, my house is a wreck, bills are due, I need gas in my car, there's crumbs on everything, dishes in the sink and I can feel it all

I'm not angry. I'm overstimulated and need a minute to myself😔

Motherhood is exhausting.
No matter what someone always needs you Go to work; someone needs you, come home; someone needs you, go to sleep; someone needs you, shower time; someone needs you, going to the bathroom; someone needs you.

A child, a baby, an adult IM ALWAYS NEEDED.

I'm not angry. ❤️ I'm overstimulated

Let me collect myself before you start to accuse me of being in a bad mood. I just need a minute talk 😔😔

Great info!

Do you have a kiddo that needs a little help in the growth department? 👶 Perhaps you’re pregnant🤰and are struggling to gain weight yourself, or maybe you’re breastfeeding and are losing weight very quickly. We all have unique nutritional needs ❤️ Will you tag a friend who is looking for some high-calorie ideas for someone in their family?
•
Sometimes we need to add Calorie Boosters to foods to help each bite count. One simple strategy we use with our clients is stirring oils or nut butters into our favorite foods as shown here. 
•
➡️➡️ How do you know if your child needs this? Talk to your provider first! Are they worried about your kiddo’s growth? Can their growth trajectory be explained by genetic/environmental factors?
•
If your provider isn’t worried, keep doing what you’re doing. Some kids are smaller, and it’s perfectly normal for them. On the other hand, if your provider has expressed concern in your child’s growth it may help to try these strategies.
•
Peanut/tree nut allergy? Use sunflower seed butter or granola butter. Dairy-free? Try the dairy-free yogurt. 
•
This is just one of the many techniques we’ve outlined in our Calorie Boosters handout in our Infant and Toddler/Kid Courses! It includes SO many unique ideas and has allergen-friendly modifications. We also have included some tasty recipes in that handout!
•
Our courses are live, meaning that you’ll always have the most updated version {and they don’t expire - as long as we’re hosting them!}. Even when we make big changes and updates, you don’t pay anything more. You’ll always have the latest and greatest! Go back and watch them again and again.

So important.

All movement milestones are built from the strength and awareness gained from belly time! It’s SO IMPORTANT to position your newborn in ways that foster their natural development! Positioning baby tummy down early is very important.
•
Do you ever wonder how babies learn how to roll, crawl, stand up or even start walking? All of this should occur automatically in the course of the CNS (brain and nervous system)maturation. This is an innate process that is engrained in our brains.
•
Most development occurs in the first 18 months of life. Baby’s brain 🧠 maturation guides a musculature maturation, which guides skeletal maturation. This maturation loop can be fed through how we position and hold our newborn!

Every week in our music classes at Music Together Lima, babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and the grownups who love them come together to play musically. Little ones love to sing and dance in class, and caregivers love being a part of their children’s growth into confident music-makers.
