    Vered is a musician, music therapist, founder of Baby in Tune, and mom of 3. She teaches parents how to use music to speak their baby’s language, get more sleep, and have more fun. When she had her first baby eleven years ago, she struggled with nursing issues, felt overwhelmed and utterly exhausted all the time. In a moment of frustration she pushed herself to sing to her baby. Through the immediate soothing that she and her baby BOTH felt, and the connection that developed between them, Baby in Tune was born. Vered uses her natural ability to write songs that give words to the experience of parents and babies, combined with her passion for blending music therapy techniques with concepts from psychology, to help thousands of parents feel like they know what they’re doing.    When she is not leading classes or training instructors, Vered can be found lecturing at conferences such as Zero to three, and doing staff trainings at companies such as Sanctuary for Families. Her three award winning albums for families can be found on Spotify/Amazon/itunes. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and three kids, who brought her back to music through motherhood.   website: www.babyintune.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/babyintune Facebook: www.facebook.com/babyintune Youtube: www.youtube.com/babyintune   Spotify @vered: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0u2bCRyS3Cnz9dRl2mnTEg?si=FaTXcMebQ0uwK0dA4SsJPg Itunes @vered: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/vered/491101236 Amazon @vered: https://www.amazon.com/Vered/e/B001LI9QJ6   Questions: vered@babyintune.com     To find out more about Samantha or to join her – Website – https://www.samanthadayconsulting.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/samanthadaysleepconsulting/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/samanthadaysleepconsulting/

    Safe in the Seat with Michelle Pratt   It’s a car seat. Shouldn’t we just be able to buckle it in and go? The answer to this is a strong no. There is a lot that goes into the safety side of car seats and this knowledge is just as important the first time you place baby in the car seat and head home through the first decade of their life as they transition from seat to seat. Michelle Pratt is talking with us today and laying out what we need to know in a truthful yet fun way.   A little about our guest –   Nationally Certified Car Seat Safety Technician, Michelle Pratt is in the trenches of raising young kids. Back in 2013 as a first-time parent, there were so many lessons she had to learn quickly. She's been where you are — unsure of whether her children are safe, feeling overwhelmed and needing a bit of guidance. Naturally, she prioritized safety but found very little support around one critically important aspect: car seats. So, Michelle took matters into her own hands and became the expert she needed. Now, she gives parents peace of mind that their most precious cargo is as safe as possible.    Safe in the Seat handles all things car seats, including custom car seat selection, phone-a-friend inquiries and support, and full car seat installation and consultations—in office, in home or virtual. Follow @safeintheseat on Instagram and sign up for her newsletter at safeintheseat.com to keep up with Michelle's online courses, car seat tips and tricks, and a mama who just gets it.

We are going to go through different episodes for the different ways we families chose to fed their babies and this week is all about pumping. We had the opportunity to talk with Melissa Guerriero on this topic and it was great! A little about our guest - Melissa Guerriero is the momma behind @pump_momma_pump on instagram. She is a two-time exclusive pumping mother to a 2.5 year old boy and a 7 month old baby girl. She runs her instagram page as a support for any pumping mother, exclusive or not! When her first baby was born prematurely, she learned how to pump from the NICU nurses but other than that, didn't have much support and had to do a lot of digging on the internet to find out more about exclusive pumping. She ended up exclusive pumping, by choice, for her second baby and also donates her milk. She started Pump Momma Pump to be who she needed when she began pumping- a cheerleader, a teacher, and someone to show her the best ways to make the best of breastpumping.    You can find her at https://www.instagram.com/pump_momma_pump/   Referred to in the episode –   “Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division”   To find out more about Samantha or to join her – Website – https://www.samanthadayconsulting.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/samanthadaysleepconsulting/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/samanthadaysleepconsulting/
