Why our partners stress us out more than our kids (and what we can do about it)
It doesn't have to be this way, mama.
Keep up, mama ☕️—14-month-old
Maybe she's born with it—maybe it's caffeine. Open. Closed. Up. Down. Over. Under. Your little one is fascinated by how the world around her works, which is adorable—and exhausting. Make sure you are fueled for the journey: get enough sleep, stay hydrated (does coffee count?), and shower every (other?) day. Your little one needs her mama to keep up! XO, TeamMotherly P.S. We love this water bottle + tracker to help you stay hydrated throughout the day. Drink up! Baby this week: At this age, children fascinated with switches, knobs and buttons. Try this: Busy boards are sure to provide hours of switch-flicking entertainment. (Make sure to supervise!)
