Most babies will begin to crawl between 7 and 10 months of age. So, be ready by "baby proofing" your home before 6 months. Just as some little ones are overachievers and may begin earlier, some may be on the older end of the expected time, and that is okay! Each baby has their own journey. Remember that for babies born early, we use their corrected gestational age for milestones. Always reach out if you are worried so that we can discuss your specific concerns. Plan ahead and secure large furniture properly to the the wall long before babies can crawl/pull up!

This ISR location posted a couple of last minute spots opening up. Highly recommend ISR as part of family water safety

The first bath can, and in most cases should, be delayed for a minimum of 12-24 hrs. The vernix that protects your baby's skin in-utero continues to offer benefits after birth. (There are rare cases when immediate baths are needed and many other special considerations for neonates in the NICU) Were you able to delay your newborns first bath?

A beautiful reminder that God is present in every first breath. During my NICU years I attended thousands of births. Many were chaotic, anxious, or loud. Some were calm, controlled, and peaceful. All were miraculous. Thank you to Teamwork birthing for sharing this moment.

This is what it looks like when a baby is born into a circle of love, a mother held, a family gathered, hearts wide open.

Every hand here carries intention. Every gaze, a blessing. In this room, love was palpable and God’s presence undeniable.

When a baby is welcomed like this, seen, celebrated, and covered in prayer and connection, they are met not just by their family, but by the divine.

This is the beauty of home birth. This is the power of being known and held from the very first breath.

🤍 “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” (Matthew 18:20)

Know the symptoms of : severe headache, swelling in the hands and face, visual issues, nausea and vomiting, stomach or abdomen pain, sudden weight gain, and/or shortness of breath. Preeclampsia can occur in any pregnancy, so ALL moms need to know. God sent me a wonderful OB who admitted me to the hospital with mild preeclampsia level blood pressures (none of the other above symptoms). Less than 12 hrs later I was in a STAT c/s with a BP of 240/160. Learn more at:https://preeclampsia.org/aspirin

was May 15th. This video is from before phones had great cameras. So, forgive the quality. After I was forever changed by my encounters with near drowning when floated to the PICU, ISR was a must. Our baby Declan was just a year old when he learned to . He used this ability multiple times as a little toddler when I was just an arms length away on the stairs. He would topple over just reaching for a toy. Then would already be flipped over with his head out of the water as I grabbed him. Practice with your babies this summer: Keep pool gates locked. Remove above ground pool ladders when not in use. When switching off with another supervising adult always make eye contact and use close looped communication.
