Choosing forest school was about paying attention to what Colby seemed ready for and finding something that worked within the life we have.

Our children are different. Our schedules are different. Our resources, support systems, and needs are different too.

Forest school has been such a meaningful fit for Colby, but that doesn’t mean it has to be the right choice for every family.

The right choice is simply the one that supports your child, fits your family’s dynamic, and feels sustainable in the season you’re in.

Have you found an option that works especially well for your child? Tell me about it below or send me a DM if you have questions about our forest school experience.

The inspiration behind my colour palette is actually really personal.

It came from an infant outfit.

There was this little outfit Colby wore, and now Andi wears it too. It has all these soft pinks and purples in it, which is funny because I never really wore colours like that much before becoming a mom.

But now Colby asks me to wear “pinks and purples” all the time.

Somewhere along the way, those colours started to feel like this season of motherhood for me: softer, more playful, bright, a little less like the version of myself before kids, and very much like the version of myself I am becoming with them.

So when I was thinking about this space, those colours made sense, because they felt honest.

They reminded me of my girls, this season of life, and the kind of space I want to keep creating here.

Warm, real, a little messy, not overly polished. Just motherhood as it is.

Did something similar happen to you? Let me know in the comments.

I share a lot about motherhood here, but one thing I’ve chosen to keep private for now is my children’s faces.

For us, it just feels like the right boundary for this season of life.

I love sharing parts of our life, our rhythms, our choices, and the things I’m learning in motherhood, but Andi and Colby are still little. They can’t fully understand what it means to have their faces shared online yet, so for now, we’re keeping that part private.

And this is also something I think about in the clinic.

Sometimes we ask families if they’re comfortable with photos or videos being used for Crescent Health Collective, and I want to be really clear: there is never any pressure.

If you’re happy for your child to be included, we’re so grateful.

If you would rather their face not be shown, we fully respect that too.

We can share around it, crop differently, film hands or movement, keep things anonymous, or not share at all.

Your comfort matters more than the content.

This is one of those parenting choices where I really believe there is room for different answers.

You can share your children online in a thoughtful way.

And you can choose not to share their faces because that feels better for your family.
Neither choice makes someone a better or worse parent.

It’s just about what feels right for you.

I’m curious, is this something you’ve thought about for your own family? No judgment either way.

Hi, I’m Dr. Casey Baker.

I’m a wife, a mom of two little girls, chiropractor and founder of Crescent Health Collective, and someone who is still very much figuring out motherhood as I go.

A few things about me:

I’m happiest when outside with my family.
My current motherhood season feels like relearning.
Something I will always make time for is morning coffee with my husband.
I’m probably overthinking what’s best for our girls.
And lately, our family has been really loving gardening.

Around here, I’ll be sharing a mix of real-life motherhood, infant development, family wellness, the things I’m learning, and the choices we’re making for our own family.

You’ll probably hear me talk about forest school, babywearing, feeding, movement, milestones, oral function, sleep, nervous system support, postpartum life, and the many ways motherhood keeps humbling me.

I’m not sharing these things because I think other moms need to do what I do.

I’m sharing because I believe mothers deserve honest conversations, practical information, and permission to build a version of motherhood that feels right for their family.

So if you’re a mom who wants to feel more informed, less judged, and more confident doing things your own way, I’m really glad you’re here.

Follow along, and if we haven’t officially met yet, say hi in the comments.

I’m a business owner, but that’s never the first title I reach for.

I’m a wife.
I’m a mom of two.
I’m a chiropractor.

I’m a daughter, a friend, a woman, and a person who is still very much learning in real time.

That’s why this space matters to me.

I don’t want to create motherhood content that feels polished, perfect, or impossible to live up to. I want to share from the middle of it.

The clinical knowledge.
The lived experience.
The things I’ve researched.
The things I’ve changed my mind about.
The things that work for our family (even though they might not work for yours).

I understand women’s health, pregnancy, postpartum, infant development, feeding, sleep, movement, and family wellness because I’ve studied it. But I also understand the emotional side of it because I’m living it in different ways every day.

So this is my little corner of the internet for the moms who want information without judgment.

For the families who want to do things in a way that feels aligned, even if it looks different from what everyone else is doing.

For the women who want someone in their corner who can say, “Here’s what I know clinically, here’s what I’ve lived personally, and here’s permission to choose what makes sense for your family.”

If that’s what you’re looking for, I’m so glad you’re here.

For those of you that haven’t seen the random IG stories, we welcomed our second daughter at the end of December.

This postpartum experience has been a nice reminder that we can prepare for some things, but not all. Here are some spark notes on how this postpartum has differed from my first.

1. Labour and delivery. Although this labour and delivery was “smoother” clinically, it was more mentally draining. It was shorter, with no tearing or hemorrhaging, which is all great, but mentally it was an internal battle. Whether it be her posterior presentation or her size (9lbs 14.5oz of pure love), the sensations were significantly more intense, leaving me at moments questioning if I could deliver her.
2. Early postpartum. The days and weeks after welcoming our second daughter were vastly different. The first days I was happy being in bed, resting and recouping, but shortly after I had a deep desire to be back at work and working out. I missed the environment, the social aspects. Waiting for a check in with my pelvic floor physio felt like months.
3. Different baby. This seems obvious, but kids initial demeanors can be wildly different. Everything from feeding to sleep has been opposite.
4. Add a toddler. This needs some emphasis behind it. Having a toddler at home axes “sleep while the baby sleeps” and has you feeling like you are being torn in two different directions all day. I am thankful that our toddler loves her sister and enjoys time to herself, but there are definitely times where it’s a balancing act I feel I am failing. Not to mention, having a husband who works overnight makes bedtimes an Olympic sport.
5. Mother Nature. Winter 23/24 vs 25/26 has definitely switched up the experience. Getting outside with my first was easy, with the sidewalks cleared and the sun shining, whereas baby two had days or grey skies and record snowfall. This time around I understood the allure of a spring or summer baby.

Anyone who’s preparing for another postpartum, I truly believe that every postpartum experience is beautiful in its own way, if you allow it. You got this.

Little one crawling weird? Do they hike one leg up, drag one behind or only ever army crawl?

These can be clues that something isn't moving well in their body, ultimately restricting them from gaining the important skill of cross crawling.

Cross-crawling is important for a number of reasons, one being the right and left brain communicating. As the right and left body have to work together to propel little one forward, the right and left hemisphere must communicate efficiently to achieve the task. This improve balance and coordination, body awareness, as well as cognitive and sensory development. When thinking about kids slightly older, this is involved with hand-eye coordination, cross body movements such as throwing or kicking and symmetrical walking/running.

Feeling the tug through the front of your belly when walking, putting on your shoes, going up down the stairs or rising from the couch?

One thing likely contributing to this, the round ligaments.

Working through round ligament and abdominal tension can provide instant relief and make better sense of why this sensation is happening.

The round ligaments are found on either side of the uterus, attaching near the top, making them a common ache during pregnancy. As baby and uterus grow, the round ligaments are put under more tension causing a sharp pulling sensation with some movements. Prenatal chiropractic, massage and specific exercise and stretches can alleviate the pain or discomfort allowing you to get back to your normal day-to-day life.

An unfortunate but powerful part of our family growing was losing our second pregnancy at 10 weeks. Sharing our experience with miscarriage has allowed me to connect with a whole new group of families and mamas.

A common question is, how did you support your body during the miscarriage and the days, weeks and months after?

I always like to say that my approach isn't for everyone but I will always be authentic in the information I share. For me, healing involved getting back to my day-to-day as soon as humanly possible, talking with my hubby and close friends when the emotions felt high and nourishing my body with the whole foods, good supplements, chiropractic and acupuncture.

Acupuncture is something my body comes back to often, whether it be for stress, bleeding during pregnancy, prepping my body for welcoming our first born, pregnancy insomnia, just because I felt like it that day or in this case miscarriage.

Acupuncture is really an incredible tool for so many things in life, grief and organ healing being two of them. Seeing a TCM acupuncturist has taught me a lot about the cues our body's give and what they mean from an Eastern approach to care.

A big win for a local family and a post for some awareness for others.

A family brought there newborn daughter in for an assessment when their midwife recommended another opinion, after being told by an IBCLC that breastfeeding would not be a realistic option without a tongue tie release for their daughter.

Mom had a tough time with this information as she had successfully breastfed her other children.

On assessment, daughter did have a posterior tongue tie as well as trouble opening her mouth wide enough to get a deep latch. The other things going on in her little body were asymmetrical tension through neck, midback and pelvis, as well as reduced mobility through neck and left hip.

After conversation with mom and dad, I wasn't sold that a release wouldn't be warranted, but I strongly felt that the amount of tension in her body was definitely impacting things. You can imagine her body wouldn't be comfortable stretched in a cradle, cross cradle or reclined position.

Care involved muscle release, fascia release and some jaw specific mobilizations, and I am thrilled to say after 3 visits, mom is exclusively breastfeeding without pain and baby girl is happy, feeding well and growing like a w**d.

Next steps were to follow up periodically to see if tension came back and if latch regressed, which has not been the case.

Tongue ties are not always something we can hang our hats on when it comes to feeding struggles. Labour, delivery, gestational age and size, tension and mobility are all factors with feeding. Don't overlook these.
