🦋💡Did you know a few small, everyday habits can help prevent torticollis and support healthy head and neck development?
Things like how often your baby is in a container, which side you feed them on, or where you position yourself during playtime can make a bigger difference than you might think.

Try these simple tips at home:�
• Limit time in containers, car seats and strollers for travel only�
• Encourage your baby to turn their head both ways by placing toys (or yourself!) on either side�
• Switch arms during bottle feeds to avoid a strong side preference�
• Center your baby’s head and body during floor play and in the car seat�
• Remember: back to sleep, tummy to play, early tummy time (with support) is key

These small changes add up. And if you ever notice head tilt, a strong side preference, or flattening, early physical therapy can help guide your baby’s development in the right direction.

Ever notice your baby always turning their head to one side? Or holding their head tilted more often than not?
Those little patterns can be early signs of torticollis, and catching them early really matters.
We often hear parents say, “I thought they’d grow out of it.” And while babies do grow fast, head and neck asymmetries don’t always resolve on their own. The good news? Physical therapy works best when it starts early.

When PT is started before 1 month of age, outcomes are typically quicker and more effective. As babies get older, therapy can still help but it often takes longer and may be harder to fully correct the head tilt.
If something feels off, trust your gut. Early support can make a big difference for your baby’s comfort, movement, and development 💛

Sometimes what looks like “misbehavior” is actually dysregulation, especially for nonspeaking autistic children.

Big reactions can happen when there’s an unexpected change, too much noise, bright lights, or just too much happening at once. Since they may not use words to tell us how they feel, their behavior becomes their way of communicating.

Those moments aren’t about being difficult. They’re about an overwhelmed nervous system asking for support.
When we slow down, observe, and respond with empathy, we help our children feel safe, understood, and regulated again 💛

Check back monthly as we share simple, supportive strategies to help your child through moments like these. www.butterflypeds.com

Parents often ask, “How many words should my child be saying?”�And while numbers can be help guide us, communication is about much more than counting words.
Gestures, sounds, understanding, and connection all matter 💛�If you’re ever wondering about your child’s speech, asking questions early can make a big difference, and it doesn’t mean anything is “wrong.”
You’re paying attention.�And that truly matters.

Speech practice doesn’t have to feel like work 🧡�Some of the most powerful moments happen right in everyday play.
Making silly sounds, offering simple choices, and talking about pictures together all help build communication skills without pressure, worksheets, or perfection.
If your child joins in a little… or just listens… that still counts.�Little moments really do add up.
And if you ever find yourself wondering, “Am I doing enough?” - you’re already doing more than you think 💛

Every child shows up a little differently, and that’s something we truly value 💛
At Butterfly Pediatric Therapy, we take time to get to know each child beyond goals and checklists. We focus on their strengths, their personality, what they enjoy, what feels hard, and even the little quirks that make them them.
Our therapists work closely together across disciplines so care feels connected and thoughtful, not overwhelming. Therapy is built to fit into real family life, daily routines, and cultural values not the other way around.

We support children from infancy through age 18, as well as neurodiverse young adults.
If you’re curious, have questions, or just want to talk through what support might look like, we’re always happy to connect 🤍
