7-Month Milestones: Crawling, Sleep Hacks & Teething with Mom Nina

This week on Sense by Meg Faure, we check in with regular guest Nina Clark as her son, Josh, hits the dynamic 7.5-month mark. Nina shares an honest update on a recent sleep regression, her questions about crawling, and the challenges of feeding a "social butterfly."

This episode is a must-listen guide to navigating this active and exciting stage:

The Crawling Question: Is your baby pulling up to stand but not yet crawling? Meg explains why crawling is a critical milestone for long-term development and why there's a wide range of "normal" (from 7.5 to 11.5 months).

Sleep Regression Hacks: Josh has started waking for 1-2 hours in the middle of the night. Meg provides a 5-point checklist for troubleshooting sleep issues, including the importance of movement, iron and magnesium supplements, deep pressure (weighted blankets), and ruling out congestion (glue ear).

Feeding a Social Butterfly: Nina shares her struggle with breastfeeding a distractible baby. We discuss the pros and cons of snacky feeds versus a more structured routine.

Iron & Your Baby's Health: Learn why iron is so important after six months and how to know if your baby might need a gentle supplement like Floradix.

This is a relatable and info-packed conversation for any parent with a baby on the move!
