No matter how much you prep them, the transition to a new sibling is going to be hard. You can absolutely make it easier, and I did a lot of things that I think really helped, but there's no such thing as an easy transition for a kid whose whole world just changed. In this episode I'm walking through everything we did to prepare our older two for their baby brother, from how we talked about him during pregnancy all the way through what's been happening at home now that the newborn novelty has worn off and the reality of mom's attention being split three ways is setting in. I get into why we chose not to bring our kids to the hospital, what it looked like when they met him for the first time at home, and the one thing we say yes to almost every time because I think it's made a bigger difference than anything else. In this episode, we dive into: How to prep the kids before baby gets here How to prep the kids for you being at the hospital How to introduce them to the baby How our transition is going now and more! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT LINKS • ✨ Join our Mom Club on Patreon HERE ✨ 👈🏼 • Truly Free Marketplace Lifetime Membership + $10 gift card HERE • Get Dr. Kartik's book HERE --------------------------------------------------------------------------- sibling transition, preparing kids for a new baby, preparing toddler for new baby, new sibling adjustment, going from 2 to 3 kids, transition from two kids to three kids, big sister prep, big brother prep, welcoming a new baby, second baby transition, third baby transition, how to prepare your toddler for a new baby, preparing your first child for a second baby, how to help your toddler adjust to a new sibling, what to do when your toddler is jealous of the new baby, should I bring my kids to the hospital to meet the baby, introducing siblings to a newborn at home, first meeting between toddler and newborn, how to give your older kids attention with a newborn, toddler regression after new baby, toddler tantrums after new sibling, 1:1 time with older kids after baby, how to prepare a 2 year old for a new baby, how to prepare a 4 year old for a new baby, what to say to your toddler about the new baby, letting siblings hold the newborn, big sibling books for toddlers, sibling introduction newborn ideas, mom guilt with a new baby, splitting attention between kids, feeling stretched thin with three kids, my toddler is acting out since the baby came, my older kid is jealous of the baby, adjusting to being a mom of three, newborn and toddler at the same time, hardest part of having a second baby, hardest part of having a third baby, attention seeking behavior after new baby, even bad attention is good attention, pregnancy prep with toddlers, Learning to Mom podcast, Learning to Mom episode 158, Christian motherhood podcast, motherhood podcast for new moms, Laila Learning to Mom, mom podcast sibling transition, motherhood podcast, mom podcast, podcast for moms, best podcasts for moms, podcasts for new moms, podcast for first time moms, podcast for stay at home moms, motherhood podcast for Christian moms, Christian motherhood podcast, Catholic mom podcast, faith based motherhood podcast, faith and motherhood, biblical motherhood, praying as a mom, motherhood and faith podcast, parenting podcast, gentle parenting podcast, intentional motherhood, intentional parenting, motherhood community, mom friends podcast, podcast that feels like a friend, encouragement for moms, mom encouragement podcast, tired moms, exhausted mom, overstimulated mom, touched out, mom burnout, mom guilt, mom rage, mental load of motherhood, invisible labor of motherhood, postpartum support, postpartum recovery, fourth trimester, postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, healing postpartum, newborn stage, newborn tips, sleep deprived mom, breastfeeding support, breastfeeding tips, formula feeding, pumping tips, first time mom tips, new mom advice, new mom must haves, pregnancy tips, pregnancy podcast, birth stories, natural birth, unmedicated birth, home birth, hospital birth, birth plan, VBAC, doula, midwife, labor and delivery, toddler mom, toddler behavior, toddler tantrums, toddler discipline, raising toddlers, raising boys, raising girls, big family, mom of three, mom of many, large family living, homeschooling, homeschool mom, stay at home mom, working mom, SAHM life, day in the life mom, motherhood in real time, real motherhood, unfiltered motherhood, motherhood unfiltered, no perfect moms, imperfect motherhood, holistic motherhood, crunchy mom, crunchy motherhood, low tox living, non toxic living, non toxic home, clean beauty, clean living, natural living mom, whole food family meals, nourishing your family, marriage and motherhood, motherhood and marriage, being a wife and mom, mom routines, mom rhythms, daily rhythms with kids, screen time as a mom, phone free motherhood, being present with your kids, slow motherhood, seasons of motherhood, motherhood advice, motherhood tips, motherhood support, you are not alone motherhood, Learning to Mom, Learning to Mom podcast, the Couch Hang, Couch Hang podcast, Mom Club, Learning to Mom Patreon

If you're stressed about buying a car with kids because it might just be the most overwhelming grown-up thing there is, this episode is for you! For this week's episode, I brought in Lauren Fix, The Car Coach, and asked her all the questions you're too embarrassed to ask: minivan vs SUV (and are minivans really less safe?), how many car seats actually fit across a back seat, leasing vs buying, and the dealer tricks that quietly cost families thousands. Come walk into that dealership knowing more than the salesperson. We dive deep into: Where to even START when you have no idea (your kids' ages, road trips, and all the GEAR) Minivan vs SUV vs full-size, and whether minivans are really the "less safe" option How many car seats actually fit across a back seat, and the latch system nobody explains The safety features genuinely worth it when you've got littles riding along New vs used, and the ONE check you should never skip on a used car Leasing vs buying, and the mileage number that basically decides it for you The two discounts dealers are hoping you never ask for What to say a hard NO to once you're in the finance office Never pay retail: how to walk in prepared, and when to just walk away ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT LINKS • ✨ Join our Mom Club on Patreon HERE ✨ 👈🏼 • Check out Truly Free HERE (nontoxic cleaning supplies) use code: LEARNINGTOMOM for 30% off! • Connect with Lauren HERE Safety + pricing tools she mentioned Car safety ratings: the IIHS Top Safety Picks here Fair pricing before you negotiate: Edmunds and Kelley Blue Book here ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- best family car for moms, minivan vs suv for family, how to buy a family car, buying a car with three car seats, safest suv for kids, safest minivan 2026, how to negotiate a car deal, leasing vs buying a car, new vs used car for family, car buying tips for moms, family car buying guide, what car should i buy for my family, best cars for growing families, how many car seats fit in a car, car coach, lauren fix car coach, dealership tricks to avoid, how to not overpay for a car, car buying for women, growing family car, motherhood podcast, parenting podcast, mom podcast, toddler podcast, first time mom podcast, best pregnancy podcast, new mom podcast, natural pregnancy podcast, christian motherhood podcast, that pregnancy podcast podcast for moms of preschoolers, preschool mom podcast, encouraging motherhood podcast, encouraging podcast for moms, uplifting mom podcast, positive motherhood podcast, podcast to feel less alone as a mom, motherhood encouragement, real motherhood podcast, honest motherhood podcast, honest mom podcast, relatable mom podcast, podcast for tired moms, podcast for overwhelmed moms, podcast for exhausted moms, christian mom podcast, christian motherhood podcast, christian parenting podcast, christian mom podcasts, faith and motherhood podcast, faith based motherhood podcast, faith filled motherhood, catholic mom podcast, catholic motherhood podcast, catholic mom podcasts, catholic women podcast, crunchy mom podcast, crunchy motherhood podcast, crunchy mom podcasts, granola mom podcast, holistic mom podcast, holistic motherhood podcast, holistic parenting podcast, natural living mom podcast, low tox mom podcast, nontoxic living podcast, intentional motherhood podcast, intentional living podcast, slow living motherhood, traditional motherhood podcast, homemaker podcast, motherhood and faith podcast, parenting podcast, parenting podcast for moms, gentle parenting podcast, respectful parenting podcast, podcast for christian moms, podcast for catholic moms, podcast for crunchy moms, mom friend podcast, podcast that feels like a mom friend, like having a mom friend, podcast for moms who want a village, mom community podcast, motherhood support podcast, best podcast for first time moms, good podcasts for moms, must listen mom podcasts, pregnancy podcast, postpartum podcast, podcast for pregnant moms, podcast for expecting moms, motherhood and womanhood podcast, the car mom, the carpool mom podcast, kelly stumpe episode

If you've ever sat at a well check, brought up a concern about your toddler, and been told to just "wait and see"... this episode is for YOU. Allison is a pediatric physical therapist (and a mom of four who had four kids in five and a half years, so she GETS it), and she is breaking down exactly what your 12 to 24 month old should be doing, when, and how to tell the difference between a kid developing on their own timeline and an actual red flag worth chasing down. But the part that gave me chills? Her reminder that YOU are the team leader for your child. Not the pediatrician, not the PT, not the preschool teacher, YOU. And that your mother's intuition and even your "I know I shouldn't compare but..." observations are not something to feel guilty about. They're information. In this episode, we talk about: The real timeline for walking (and why your baby probably won't walk by their first birthday) What to look for from 18 months to 2 years: running, climbing, standing from the middle of the room, fine motor skills The ONE milestone that's a definite, non-negotiable age (hint: it's jumping) Why milestones are "like math" and build on each other How to tell a developmental timeline difference from a true red flag The "wait and see" problem, and when NOT to wait Why you are the team leader for your child Why comparing your child to others isn't something to feel guilty about Simple, cheap at home activities to jumpstart development Everyday "klutzy" struggles that can actually point to body awareness challenges Proprioception and the vestibular system explained in a way that finally makes sense Sensory seeking vs. sensory avoiding, and what's totally normal How to make accommodations for a sensitive kid while still giving exposure The SINGLE most important thing you can do in this window ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT LINKS • ✨ Join our Mom Club on Patreon HERE ✨ 👈🏼 • Check out Laila’s Clean Makeup Bag Staples HERE • Or shop the whole nontoxic makeup site HERE ◦ Use Code ADVOCATE10 for 10% off! • Connect with Allison HERE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- toddler milestones, 12 to 24 month milestones, toddler milestones by age, when should my baby walk, baby not walking at 15 months, toddler not walking, late walker, when do toddlers jump, when do toddlers run, toddler gross motor skills, toddler fine motor skills, milestones build on each other, developmental red flags toddler, wait and see pediatrician, when to get early intervention, pediatric physical therapy, mother's intuition child development, comparing my child to others, parent as team leader, toddler coordination problems, clumsy toddler, body awareness in toddlers, proprioception in children, vestibular system kids, sensory seeking toddler, sensory avoidant toddler, sensory processing toddler, toddler accommodations sensory, toddler stairs milestones, free play for toddlers, open ended play toddlers, at home activities for toddlers, gross motor activities toddlers, Tots on Target, toddler development podcast, motherhood podcast, first time mom podcast, parenting podcast for toddler moms, best motherhood podcast, christian motherhood podcast, crunchy mom podcast, toddler parenting tips

Whether you've whispered "what is wrong with me" after snapping over a spilled sippy cup, or you've been told it's "just hormones" one too many times, this episode is going to make you feel SO seen.

What happens when your toddler climbs out of the crib or when you're ready to move them into a "big kid bed"?
