I need to start by saying, I am not a doctor. If you have questions or concerns, you should contact your healthcare provider. I am a 2 time post v delivery mom, my babies born 17 months apart. My close friend who I helped during her postpartum is a 2 time c section mom. I am sharing the advice, tips, encouragement, and helpful tools that we used during this blurry time. Always keep in mind, what works for some, will not work for others. With love.

Our home is mostly screen free and the tonie box has been our best investment. He got it for Christmas when he was 2.5. Every holiday he normally gets a new tonie (Easter basket, boo basket, stocking stuffer, birthday). I LOVE how these can grow with his changes. Our daughter is almost 11 months and she’s already learned how to use it herself. She picks her own tonie out & puts it on. I can’t wait for her to get her own and girly tonies 🥹 so worth the investment 🫶🏼
