Description

What actually matters when it comes to baby milestones? And what can we stop spiraling over?


This week, I’m joined by Kelsey McDonald from Playful Movements, a pediatric physical therapist and mom of two, to talk about all things motor development — what’s normal, when to worry, and how to support your baby without buying another $200 item. We also chat about the wild ride of parenting two kids, what PTs wish more moms knew, and the pressure to hit milestones “on time.”


Also... warning: Mateo had a lot to say this episode — you’ll hear him chiming in — and we get a surprise guest appearance from one of Kelsey’s daughters, because babies make the rules around here.


Let’s get into it 💗
