Baby Sleep Products
The good, the bad, & the illegal!
There are a tonne of gadgets, thingamies, and gee-gaws out there that are sold as the key to infant sleep. But what really works?
What's age-appropriate?
Is it okay to buy used?
There's no "sure thing" when it comes to products that promise sleep but join Aimée and fellow sleep-educator Leanne Palmerston of Hamilton Family Doulas to learn more about getting the most out of the infant sleep gadgets you do have (or are thinking of getting) and avoiding the pitfalls and dangers of some of them.

Gender-Aware Parenting
Join Aimée in conversation with Gender Guide, Tien Neo Eamas.
Tien is a Teacher, Speaker and Artist. He believes in a world where humans are FREE TO BE who we really are, living true to our soul’s expression. Even in the face of hatred, racism, gender based discrimination and more, we can have access to BEING FREE. Then we can relate to other souls and connect with each other authentically.
This is Tien’s purpose … SOUL 2 SOUL Connections!
Tien sees parents trying to figure out how to navigate the changing waters of gender expression. Many kids are self identifying as trans, non binary, or asking to be called by a different gender. Parents are challenged while wanting to support and acknowledge children where they are at.
We'll also be talking about LGBTQ history, how to upgrade your language, and seeing your child beyond your lens of gender, allowing them to BE WHO they truly are. Who they are beyond gender, beyond roles and ideologies that restrict their full expression and freedom as humans!

Level-up: Sleep Cues
Ok, so this little one is making it obvious. But what about the not-so-obvious sleep cues? Do you know when your baby is telling you they're ready to go down?
And how do you take advantage of that "sleepy sweet spot" especially when it's so brief for some babies?

Swimming Together!
It's a big milestone for babies. It's also so much fun as well as being a great investment in their safety & wellbeing. 💖
But how to start? Should you bring your baby to the pool for lessons? How do you even teach your baby to swim anyway?
And what's with swim diapers?? 🙀🙀🙀
All shall be revealed!

Learning Anti-Racism as a Family
What do you do when your little one asks about Idle No More and Black Lives Matter? What if they say something racist?
It's scary territory for most white parents, but it needs to be entered if we are going to make a better world for those to come.
Join Aimée in conversation with Kait Kenel the Tiktoking mom who makes videos about how she brings anti-racist thinking and action into her parenting.

Sign With Your Baby!
You may be a convert or you may be skeptical: can my hearing baby really sign with me before they can talk?
Yes. Yes, they can.
It's amazing, actually! But also totally natural. Just look at the way babies naturally use gestures to communicate and you'll realise that the urge is there; all parents need to do is provide the structure (ASL signs).
Join Aimée in discussion with someone from the Deaf community to learn about how to take advantage of this wonderful opportuintiy to better-understand your baby and cut way down on frustration while also supporting the Deaf community and honouring the beauty of American Sign Language (ASL).
We'll cover:
🧏 How and when to start,
🧏 Common myths about signing with your hearing baby
🧏 How to recognise your baby's attempts at signing,
🧏 How long it will take your baby sign back to you, and
🧏 Tips for making it easier on yourself to incorporate signs into your everyday routine.
We'll also introduce ten basic signs and a song to get you started!
Yes. Yes, they can.
