Your Non-Negotiables in the New Year: A Message From Down With Spit Up

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, self-actualization.

Moms and Dads of High-Needs' Babies: A shower every once in a while.

Whether you're tackling common newborn and infant issues such as reflux, colic and sleep issues, or more complicated and chronic challenges in your life, for every child there is a cause to care (and an incredibly important reason to take care of yourself).

My message to you - as always - is to hang in there and find a way to make yourself smile amidst the chaos. 

Perhaps it's volunteering to help other families in need, or as simple as demanding to drink your coffee hot.

I encourage you to not only find your favorite activities, but also your "non-negotiables," and call on them regularly to build strength, renewal and energy to take on whatever challenge is ahead.

Best wishes to you this season and for many smiles in 2017.

Sincerely,

Christina
