They share favorite parts of fall with babies and emphasize crafts that are both keepsakes and functional decor.

Newbies host Kaile Garcia talks with pediatric physical therapist Meagan O’Neill about how oral restrictions and oral motor dysfunction can affect a baby’s whole body, not just feeding. O’Neill defines torticollis, signs parents can notice (head tilt/rotation, head flattening, craniofacial asymmetry), why early PT intervention matters versus a “wait and see” approach, and potential impacts on head shape and motor skills. She explains oral motor dysfunction as coordination issues of the lips, tongue, cheeks, and jaw, with signs like shallow latch, clicking, milk loss, gagging, coughing, bottle difficulty, and trouble keeping a pacifier in. The episode covers gentle bodywork, fascia connections from tongue through the body, why tongue ties need therapy and aftercare beyond release, and how to find qualified specialists (IBCLC, OT, SLP, PT, pediatric dentist), including laser vs scissor releases. O’Neill advises parents to trust their gut and seek help early, including virtual options. Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram for more information giveaways and more.

Host Kaile Garcia welcomes expert mom Chelsea Adams to discuss taking babies and toddlers to Disneyland or Disney World in the fall, including what to do, ride considerations, and managing the parks. Chelsea, a Chicago-based mom of two sons (ages 4 and 15), shares her motherhood journey, including having her first son as a preemie at 20 with heavy family support, and a later, more stable parenting experience with her younger son and husband, though without her mom. They talk about growing up visiting Disney World, multi-generational trips, and delaying park visits with a newborn during COVID. Tips include taking advantage of free admission under age three, planning and researching with park apps, checking height requirements, bringing snacks and water, using baby care centers for feeding/pumping, preparing for heat and rain with fans, ponchos, and stroller covers, and protecting nap schedules via stroller naps or hotel breaks.
