Spending the next little bit responding to youtube comments & catching up on all the comments I have missed in the last few months. My goal for 2025 is to be more consistent with comments, since I know they are so helpful to so many of you and it is one of my favorite things to do -- however, with writing TWO more books to be published by April 2026, I know that my time will also be limited. Here is a friendly reminder that if you have timely, pressing questions that an online parent consultation with me can be booked at any time -- we can chat about the best next steps for helping your little hit their next milestones and/or help you find someone in person local to you that can help.

Rick asked a more complicated question, so I just finished a livestream to answer it. If anyone else struggles with getting a baby into all fours this might help: youtube.com/live/FOdKAg_6Das?si=wmPSYJA1sLx6oplz

SO EXCITED to finally be able to respond to ALL the comments from the past few months.

Some of these responses will be WAY overdue and for that I apologize and hope that you can forgive the delay and still find some value in the response.

It will likely take me the next few weeks to get to all of them since I am still writing the next book: learning to sit ❤️ which is still on track to be published via amazon by 2025.

If you have immediate questions that need answers here is a reminder you can book an online parent consultation here at anytime: drlaurenbaker.clientsecure.me/request/service

*they all come with a pdf summary & exercises tailor to your childs season.

Thanks for being here as a subscriber & viewer this is still my favorite place on the internet to interact. Lauren

HEY EVERYONE 👋 I am spending all of my free time writing my next book “Learning to Sit,” and wanted to apologize for being so behind on responding to comments.

I am hopeful that I will get caught up in the next month or so but I also have lots of writing to do! If you have urgent questions and needs I do have Online Parent Consultation spots open, which can be scheduled here: drlaurenbaker.clientsecure.me/request/service that is the best way to get your questions answered this summer!

HA went live TWICE by accident today :) sorry for any confusion that caused, trying out ‪@Riversidefm‬ and definitely didn't realize that if I connected my livestream youtube account, then I had to toggle LIVE OFF in the settings otherwise everytime I hit record it would livestream -- oops! (maybe if we could make that more clear riverside, that would help newbies!).

If you caught those two accidental livestreams let me know in the comments, so we can share a good laugh!

Thank you to all the subscribers, visitors, my husband who likes every single video right when it posts, and everyone who has watched me talk in the hopes of learning something.

I literally show up here because I feel called to share the knowledge in my brain in the event it helps someone in some corner of the globe looking for information and something they can do to help themselves or their child.

For a fun reel to celebrate check it out and follow me on instagram if you have it! Send me a DM if you follow and Ill follow back :) www.instagram.com/drlaurenbaker
