Parenting isn’t always cuddles and camera rolls. Sometimes it’s 2 AM Google searches, tantrums in Target, and wondering when you last drank water. Baby and Me provides thoughtful, relationally-focused care for parents, caregivers, and early childhood professionals throughout South Central PA. Whether you're currently expecting, chasing a toddler, or wondering if “bedtime” is a social construct, we’re here for all of it.
👶 Parent & Family Support
Parenting is not for the faint of heart. It’s for the tired, the trying, and the folks Googling “is it normal for my toddler to…” at 2 AM. Baby and Me offers strength-focused, developmentally informed support to help you deepen your connection with your child and rediscover your own calm(ish) center.
Especially helpful for families facing:
- Understanding your child’s big feelings and behaviors
- Figuring out what kind of parent you want to be
- Finding your way to calm and connection
- A deep desire to feel like you're actually doing okay
🧀 Parenting Partner for Pregnancy & Postpartum
Matrescence is like puberty, but with fewer acne breakouts and way more diapers. Baby and Me offers personalized support before and after baby arrives, so you’re not just surviving the transition, but finding meaning (and hopefully sleep) along the way.
Support includes help with:
- Support for pregnancy’s emotional journey
- When the early days feel heavier than expected
- Shifts in identity and relationships
- Matrescence exploration (yes, it’s a word, and yes, it’s real)

Business Review
Some storms are loud, the kind with lightning tantrums and hail-sized emotions that pelt your windshield while you're just trying to merge onto the highway of motherhood. But some storms are quiet.
The storm I remember most didn't rattle windows or tear off roof shingles. It settled over my life like a fog I didn't realize I was walking through until I'd already lost the trail. My second child went silent around 18 months old. Not the kind of silence you brag about in parenting circles, but the kind that makes your stomach sink. My firstborn was wild with words, constantly narrating life like a tiny podcast host. There were moments I wished for silence. But this quiet wasn't peaceful. It was thick and weighted. It was telling me something I didn't want to hear.
While I was navigating this, I was also very pregnant with my third. My body was stretched, my brain overwhelmed. Then came the official diagnosis: autism. I didn’t grieve for my child's identity. He was, and is, beautiful and whole. But I felt woefully unequipped for the path I was now on.
At the same time, my oldest was outgrowing everything; his preschool, his boundaries, his patience with being told to wait while I dealt with another appointment or a medical phone call. We had just decided to homeschool him, a decision that was right but came with its own thundercloud of uncertainty.
I was drowning in "support" for the kids: therapists, appointments, speech evaluations, sensory tools, curriculum, co-ops, new routines, old routines, second-guessing everything. I had a surgery scheduled that doctors said would be safer for me if done quickly (while pregnant), but also riskier in other ways. I was scared. I was overwhelmed. I was needed, constantly. And in all of that storm… I stopped needing me.
I forgot I was a whole person.
I forgot I was allowed to have needs too, even as a mother.
I forgot that parenting support isn’t just about fixing problems in our kids. It’s about feeling seen. It’s about rebuilding trust, not just with your child, but with yourself.
That’s why I believe in Baby and Me. Because had I known then what I know now, I would have reached out. Not just for my kids, but for me. I would have asked for someone to stand in the storm with me. Someone to help me see that just because the skies were dark didn’t mean I was failing. That being lost didn’t mean I was broken.
Your storm doesn't need to be as dramatic as mine. Every parent has a storm season. Every parent deserves a safe harbor.
Baby and Me is that harbor. Not to steer the ship for you, but to hand you the map, hold the umbrella, and remind you that calm is still possible, and you don’t have to weather it alone.
