The first 1,000 days of your child's life, from pregnancy through their second birthday, are filled with incredible growth, development, and approximately a million decisions for parents to make!
Prenatal nutrition, vitamins, gut health, breastfeeding, formula, sleep, starting solids, developmental milestones, and maternal wellbeing. The list of things we're told we should be doing can feel endless. But what actually matters most? And which things can parents stop worrying about?
Join us for The First 1,000 Days: What Matters Most from Pregnancy Through Toddlerhood, a practical, science-backed conversation about the early foundations of lifelong health and development, without the pressure to get everything perfect.
Moderated by pediatrician Dr. Whitney Casares, this conversation brings together Cheryl Sew Hoy of Tiny Health, Katie Clark, IBCLC, of The Breastfeeding Mama, Dr. Kiarra King of OLLY, and Rachel Blank of Allara Health for an honest, practical discussion about what truly matters during the first 1,000 days.
Together, we'll explore prenatal nutrition, maternal health, breastfeeding, the developing gut microbiome, postpartum recovery, and supporting healthy development from infancy through toddlerhood.
We'll discuss what parents should prioritize during pregnancy, how nutrition and maternal health can influence early development, what we actually know about the infant gut microbiome, and how to navigate those first feeding decisions with confidence.
We'll also talk about the transition to solids, supporting healthy development through the toddler years, and why caring for a mother's physical and emotional health deserves just as much attention as caring for her baby.
Most importantly, we'll separate the evidence from the overwhelming amount of advice parents encounter online. What truly makes a difference? What deserves medical attention? And what can families approach with a little more flexibility?
Whether you're expecting your first baby, navigating the newborn stage, or raising a curious toddler, you'll leave with practical guidance, a clearer understanding of what matters most, and reassurance that healthy development doesn't require perfect parenting.
A special thank you to OLLY for making this conversation possible! We're grateful for their support in bringing together experts to help families navigate pregnancy, postpartum, and early childhood with greater confidence.
