First-Time or New-Again Parents

Congratulations; your bundle is here or near! While there is an indescribable joy that you feel when you think of or look at your baby, being a first-time or new-again parent is challenging. Breastfeeding, sleep schedules, colic, doubts and just readjusting to your new normal can be overwhelming and anxiety-provoking.

 

Stamp of Approval is committed to empowering you in defining your new roles and developing your parenting styles. This type of coaching is particularly impactful as it helps parents reflect in real-time, as they set goals about the type of parents they want to be. Parents-to-be are encouraged to begin this journey before the arrival of their bundle.​
