Having a toddler can pack a wallop! And sometimes that wallop is surprisingly literal... Our listener, Alison (the first to call in a question!), asked us about this very common parenting challenge.

So what exactly do we do when we find ourselves on the wrong side of a 2.5 foot 20 pound prize fighter with anger issues and a still-developing ability to communicate? Drs. Val and Phil have a couple pointers and the facial scratches to back them up!

Let's get into it! Our latest episode is out now, at https://www.twotireddocs.com/attackofthetoddler

While you were sleeping last night, we were dropping a brand new episode, the first half of a longer conversation about feeding a newborn! We're hitting the ground running, with lots more to come very soon!

Welcome us back from our unannounced hiatus and check out the new episode at: https://www.twotireddocs.com/whoneedssleep/newbornfeeding1

Feeding a newborn can be tricky! Today, we talk breastfeeding, supplementing with formula or pumped milk and when to do that, how much to feed and how often, "ni**le confusion," the "golden hour," how to know if your baby is getting enough, and as always, self care!

18/05/2021

You've spent months preparing for a baby, mentally and physically (and financially...), and finally a brand new member of your family has made it into your home! So... What now?

In our newest (Episode 10), we help navigate the waters of getting you and your newborn situated at home. We talk about sleep-wake cycles (or lack thereof!), expected feeding schedule, pooping and peeing, safe sleep, weird things babies do, colic, and much more!

WE. ARE. BACK! And we are talking what to expect with a newborn at home.

It's been a minute, but your long wait is being rewarded with a SUPERsized episode!

Here's the setting: After what was likely months of arduous mental, and physical (and financial!) preparation, you suddenly have a new addition at home, and with it comes a whole lot of changes! We talk normal things; not so normal things; and things that look very not normal but are actually completely normal.

It's the most beautiful and enriching time you will ever spend within the mental funhouse mirror maze that we call, "Sleep Deprivation."

Check it out on our website below, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, or pretty much wherever you enjoy your podcasts!
