The infant and toddler stages of motherhood are both magical and utterly chaotic, filled with countless firsts and moments where you question everything including your own sanity. Kylie and Gina dive into the raw realities of early parenthood, from sleep deprivation and feeding struggles to the intense pressure to enjoy every moment while feeling completely overwhelmed.

• The breastfeeding versus formula debate and the unnecessary guilt surrounding feeding choices
• Sleep training approaches and finding what works for your family without judgment
• How the comparison game with developmental milestones creates anxiety
• The binky battles and why the timeline of giving up pacifiers doesn't matter for development
• Why slowing down and enjoying each stage matters, even when you're in survival mode
• Finding your identity when motherhood seems to consume everything
• Lowering the bar and celebrating small wins during challenging phases

Remember to give yourself grace, breathe deep, and know that peace is possible. If you're in the thick of the infant or toddler stage, you're not failing - you're doing hard, important work.
