FEATURE STORY
“We Weren’t Sure What We Were Doing — But We Knew We Were All Our Baby Had.”
Meet Alicia and James — two first-time parents who didn’t have a parenting playbook, but found strength in routine, community, and each other.
When their son Micah arrived six weeks early, everything felt like an emergency. But slowly, through 2 a.m. bottle handoffs and skin-to-skin naps on the couch, they built a rhythm rooted in love — not perfection.
They shared with FYKS what helped most:
A simple feeding tracker
One piece of parenting advice they didn’t follow
And why they still leave a light on in the hallway at night

The Only Diaper Cream We’d Put on Our BabyFYKS is proud to feature Elm & Earth Baby Balm — an organic, fragrance-free cream formulated by pediatric dermatologists and parents.
No fluff. No fragrance. Just what their skin actually needs. Disclaimer: FYKS only partners with brands we trust and would use ourselves. |  |
🍼 MILESTONE INSIGHT OF THE WEEK
Tummy Time Isn’t Just a Buzzword
If your child is under 6 months, daily “tummy time” can help build neck, back, and core strength that supports crawling, sitting, and even speech later on.
📌 Expert Insight: Pediatric occupational therapists recommend 10–15 minutes per day, broken up into short, happy bursts — and always supervised.
💡 Try it skin-to-skin on your chest, or lay your baby on a soft blanket with a mirror or black-and-white card nearby for stimulation.

🧠 Script of The Week
Here’s a simple phrase that turns tummy time into a connection moment:
“I see you working so hard! Look at those strong arms — I’m right here with you.”
This supports language development and emotional security at the same time.
