You knew immediately that you wanted to give this baby the best possible start in a toxic world, but the anxiety and doubt began to well up right away with questions like:
- How do I discern what my baby needs vs. what's just a marketing tactic?
- How can I make sure our budget is going towards the most important items?
- What changes do we need to make to our home to make sure it's safe for my baby?
- How do I advocate for my holistic choices with so many skeptics around me?
BECOMING A MOTHER CHANGES EVERYTHING.

the intro
each category starts with the real-life criteria I used when making decisions for rosie when she was a baby.
the research
then we'll start digging into some research on WHY I made those choices! I share more in-depth about the criteria I used, and the info that led to those decisions. all the research (and there’s a LOT) is hyperlinked so you can go check it out for yourself!
considerations
this page has a series of questions to ask to determine if each category is an area that may need to be prioritized for you and your family.
making the swap
while I hope you'll feel well-equipped to vet products on your own after digging into the research, I still provide some specific brands and products in this section that are "dr. courtney-approved".
be your own advocate
one of my favorite pages for each category is the "be your own advocate" page.I've linked articles, documentaries, books, courses, practitioners, podcasts, and more!
remember: the goal is for you to draw your OWN conclusions to make informed decisions for your family!
