Nutrition for New Moms

May 10, 2017 By Erin Bowling

Nutrition for New Moms

As much as I love to run, the reality is that I can’t outrun a bad diet. Eating properly while also caring for a newborn is no easy task, particularly if you are breastfeeding. Exercise requires proper nutritional support, but a lot of moms are also looking to lose weight. Prepping meals and snacks ahead […]

Proper Form for Running or Walking With Baby

After my daughter was born, figuring out how I could exercise with her in tow was a major priority. Being able to go for a hike with her in a carrier, and eventually take her out in a jogging stroller, made me feel less trapped in the house and helped me keep postpartum depression at […]

Postpartum Exercise Challenges

Women’s bodies go through extraordinary transformations during pregnancy, and these changes continue even after the baby is born. After the birth of my daughter, the ligaments in my feet loosened and none of my running shoes fit! Finding a shoe with a wider toe helped prevent any pain and injury while I got back into […]

All Parents Can Use Support

All Parents Can Use Support

Parents are their children’s first and most important teachers. Many studies show a parent’s influence on a child’s growth and development is more important than any other factor. Yet no one is “born with” parenting skills – it’s something learned through modeling other parents and learning parenting skills. In cultures and families where it’s more […]

Self Care and Friendships

Self Care and Friendships

Parenting, Self-care, and Friendships Despite, and because of the demands of parenthood, self-care is essential for all parents. If you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t have much to give to your children or others.  As hard as it may be to find time, we all need to get good sleep and food, exercise, […]

How to Minimize Sibling Rivalry

Back to School: Holding on to Family Time this Fall

Back to School: Holding on to Family Time this Fall

My daughter is 6 years old. Last year, I enrolled her in kindergarten. I had all the usual parental fears: Would she make friends? How would lunch time work? Would she enjoy her time in the before-school program? But there was one aspect of school that blindsided me: the demands on our time outside of […]
