THIS IS WHY WE NEED TUMMY TIME FOR OUR KIDS!

"Babies NEED tummy time! At 11 months old, this little cutie should have a nicely rounded head, developed S curves in his neck and low back, and flexible legs that move in and out of various sitting positions. But, largely due to lack of time on his tummy and OVERUSE of "baby containers" such as bouncy seats, swings, and car seat carriers that go from car to grocery store to restaurant, he has positional plagiocephaly (flat skull) a big ol' C curve in his spine preventing him from getting on hands and knees to crawl, and hips and legs so tight he can't even straighten his knees! And these are only the outwardly visible problems...too much pressure on baby's spine and vision centers of the brain from lying on their backs are detrimental to development! So....tummy time, tummy time, tummy time! Do it!"

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

In Canada, it's recommended that most women have a mammogram every two years from the ages of 50 to 74. This is called routine screening. Routine screening is important because the goal is to catch cancer early, before it can spread to other parts of the body. Take control of your health, and get it done. Contact your family doctor or nurse practitioner, or call your closest Ontario Breast Screening Program location (listed at the link below) to find out when you should be screened for breast cancer. https://www.cancercareontario.ca/en/find-cancer-services/breast-screening-locations/locations-list

I remember my first tattoos. Yes, plural. I got 4 on the same day. I was 48 years old and a little apprehensive. It was June 2017 and I was preparing for 25 rounds of radiation so I needed 4 black pinpoint-sized tattoos on my chest for the radiation therapists to know where to point those life-savin...

A group of researchers, clinicians and health organizations led by Dr. Margie Davenport from the University of Alberta are working together to develop guidelines for physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep in the postpartum period. The purpose of the survey is to understand what postpartum individuals view as important to them and their children regarding maternal physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep. The results from this study will be used to inform future physical activity, sleep, and sedentary behaviour guidelines for postpartum individuals.

The survey takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. If you want to take part in this study, it can be found here: https://redcap.ualberta.ca/surveys/?s=XJYJK73HNF9CYT3N
