She dives into the importance of addressing your baby’s nervous system, alignment, and movement patterns to improve their overall well-being. Key points include the importance of safety and connection, body comfort, and establishing rhythms. Kaili emphasizes being present and calm as essential for fostering your baby’s regulation and offers gentle bodywork techniques as potential aids.

In this episode, Kaili dives deep into the topic of “colic” and what it really means when your baby is crying inconsolably. She challenges the catchall label of colic, encouraging parents to trust their instincts and look beyond the surface for possible root causes.

Key Topics Covered:

[01:12]  What “colic” actually means and why it’s often just a label, not an explanation.

[03:10] The importance of trusting your parental intuition when something feels off with your baby.

[04:28] Common root causes of excessive crying in babies, including:

• Nervous system sensitivity and sensory overload
• Emotional processing from birth or in utero experiences
• Digestive issues (food intolerances, gut health, reflux, etc.)
• Body tension and compression from birth or positioning
• Oral dysfunction and feeding challenges
• Practical steps for parents:

[09:37]  What Parents Can Do

• Trust your gut and observe patterns in your baby’s behaviour
• Consider holistic support options like craniosacral therapy, osteopathy, or pediatric OT
• Focus on co-regulation—your calm helps your baby’s calm
• Seek support when needed; you don’t have to do it alone

Resources Mentioned:

• Free Baby Body Tension Guide 
• Kaili’s book, “Mothering From Within” 
• In-person and virtual support options for parents

Takeaway Message:
You know your baby best. Colic is not the end of the story—it’s a signal. With the right support and clarity, you and your baby can find your rhythm again. Trust yourself, trust your baby, and remember: you’re doing an incredible job.

In this episode of Mothering From Within, host Kaili Ets takes you on a deep dive into the history of sleep training—from its origins in the late 19th century to today’s evolving perspectives. You’ll learn about different sleep training methods like cry-it-out, controlled crying, and more gentle alternatives, while also uncovering the surprising roots of these approaches.

Kaili challenges outdated sleep training philosophies—many of which were developed by white men with little to no hands-on caregiving experience—and sheds light on a growing movement that prioritizes responsive, attachment-focused, and developmentally appropriate sleep strategies.

If you’ve ever questioned mainstream sleep advice or felt torn about what’s “right” for your baby, this episode will help you trust your instincts, understand the holistic needs of both you and your little one, and make informed choices that truly align with your family’s values.

You may have noticed that this episode is arriving a little later than planned. I had originally intended for it to air at the beginning of January, but life had other plans. I took the past month to navigate my father’s illness and passing, stepping back to process, grieve, and be present with my family. While the holidays are now behind us, I know many of you are still working on getting your baby’s sleep back on track—whether after travel, illness, or routine disruptions. The good news? These tips are just as relevant now as they were in early January.

In this episode of 'Mothering from Within,' host Kaili Ets, a pediatric occupational therapist and mother of two, discusses how to re-establish your baby's sleep routine after the holiday season. Kaili shares practical, gentle tips such as re-establishing familiar routines, using natural light to reset circadian rhythm, creating a calming sleep environment, addressing sleep crutches with grace, managing overstimulation, and being patient with the transition. The episode emphasizes a holistic approach to baby sleep and encourages mothers to trust their instincts while making adjustments that feel right for both them and their baby.

I chat about how a baby's birth story influences their early functioning, from feeding and sleeping to overall comfort and shed light on the physical processes during birth. 

Then I move on to discussing 'life after birth' for babies!  You'll learn why babies are so dependent on you, as their special adult, and why closeness and attachment are so important (and not a bad habit). 

This episode serves as a guide for new mothers to understand their babies' experiences, advocating for informed, intuitive parenting and the support of gentle therapies to foster early development and well-being.

In this episode of 'Mothering From Within,' I explore the unrealistic expectations set by societal infant stories on motherhood and infant care. 

By reflecting on the narratives around sleep, feeding, independence, and the ideal of a 'good baby,' this episode aims to dismantle pressures towards perfection in motherhood. 

I discuss the challenges of aligning with these expectations and encourage moms to trust their instincts, embrace their unique journey, and rewrite their own stories of motherhood with authenticity and grace.

This episode is a heart-to-heart and real talk about this whole idea of the "perfect mother." 

More than half of parents feel that they are failing in their first few years of parenthood. And our society has so many "rules" and things they deem right and wrong, so it is hard not to feel like you are failing if you aren't meeting those things. You feel like you are failing when you stress about every little decision whether it is around feeding or carrying for the tiny, helpless human in front of you.

No wonder we are stressed, overwhelmed, always feeling like we are failing and why exorbitant rates of PMADs in our culture. 

The thing is, this "perfect mother" doesn't really exist.

Tune in for a shift in perspective and a big metaphorical hug!

Embracing the Emotional Rollercoaster of New Parenthood

In this episode #3 of 'Mothering From Within', host Kaili Ets, a pediatric occupational therapist and mother of two, dives into the complexities and emotional rollercoasters of early parenthood. 

With guest expert Karen McWilliams, a seasoned birth and postnatal doula with over 20 years of experience, the conversation explores how making mistakes is essential for growth as parents, the impact of birth trauma, and the societal pressures on new parents. 

We discuss strategies for coping with the overwhelming array of emotions new parents face, emphasizing self-compassion, the importance of rest, and the value of reallocating societal expectations to embrace instinctual parenting. 

We encourage listeners to seek support, prioritize self-care through mindfulness practices like yoga nidra, and highlight the importance of viewing your children as teachers in the journey of parenthood. 

The episode is an invitation for mothers to lean into curiosity, gain clarity on their parenting journey, and confidently embrace motherhood their way, free from guilt.

In today's episode #2,  I am excited to talk about 7 core concepts that I like to call the building blocks or foundation of doing motherhood your way. You can think of them as the 7 C's of motherhood.

These building blocks are ultimately what help you move from that state of overwhelm and confusion to feeling confident and as though you’ve got this whole motherhood thing. They're the pillars that can hold us up even on those days when we feel like everything else is just too much. 

As we dive in, I want you to imagine these concepts as tools in your mothering toolkit, and keep them in the back of your mind as you come back to the Mothering From Within podcast each week.  These concepts help you navigate this wild ride called motherhood with a bit more ease and a lot more joy.

Let me know which C resonates the most with you!
