As we celebrate this holiday, we want you to know and remember:
safety, connection, and support matter more than tradition.

🧠 Every child experiences the world differently.
Fireworks, crowds, unfamiliar foods, and late nights can be overwhelming for developing nervous systems—especially for kids who are sensitive, anxious, or wired for routine.

🎧 You can prepare with support tools.
Noise-reducing headphones, visual schedules, comfort items, and quiet breaks can help children feel safe while still participating in ways that work for them.

❤️ Connection is the priority.
Whether you’re at a parade or staying home, what matters most is that your child feels seen, supported, and safe. Shared joy looks different for every family.

👐 You have permission to adapt.
Skip the event, leave early, say no to pressure. You’re not missing out—you’re creating a calm and meaningful memory rooted in attunement and care.

🌿 Celebrate in ways that feel good.
Draw fireworks, splash in water, make red-white-and-blue fruit skewers. There’s no one “right” way to celebrate—especially when it comes to our kids’ wellbeing.

Wishing you a grounded, joyful, and supportive Fourth of July. 💙
You’re doing a beautiful job.

Is your child anxious about trying new foods? You’re not alone.
Many picky eaters aren’t just being difficult—they’re overwhelmed. Pressure to try something unfamiliar can trigger real anxiety, especially for kids with sensitive sensory systems.

🧠 But here’s the good news:
Play helps calm the brain, lower stress responses, and creates safe, positive experiences around food. When kids feel safe, they’re more likely to explore—on their own terms.

👇 Check out a few therapist-approved play based strategies we’ve use that:
✅ Reduce food-related anxiety
✅ Support sensory regulation
✅ Encourage curiosity—without pressure to eat

❤️ Because connection and trust always come before bites.

Save this post for your next meal or snack time!

May is Pediatric Feeding Disorder Awareness Month

Feeding is so much more than just eating. It’s a complex developmental process involving sensory processing, motor skills, emotional regulation, and the relationship between a child and their caregivers.

At our practice, we support children and families impacted by Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD)—a condition that affects 1 in 37 children under the age of 5.

PFD can show up in many ways: difficulty chewing or swallowing, extreme food selectivity, anxiety around meals, or inability to meet nutritional needs without support.

As occupational therapists, we look at the whole child—not just what they’re eating, but how they’re functioning at mealtimes, what their body and brain need to feel safe, and how we can support lasting progress through trust, connection, and responsive care.

🩵This month, we honor the strength of every child and caregiver navigating feeding challenges.🩵

You’re not alone—and with the right support, progress is possible.

Let’s spread awareness, reduce stigma, and advocate for access to early, individualized care.

Working on the Transition to Solids (and milk weaning!) is one our favorite journeys to walk with families.

Let’s start at the beginning — Readiness!

There’s a wide variety of recommendations and information regarding this milestone and it sometimes can be hard to filter out the noise to find what’s best for your child.

That’s why we love advising and supporting individualized timing and introduction based on your child’s current developmental stage, their individual medical needs, and your family’s culture or beliefs around food and mealtimes.

Some of the signs of readiness we advise parents on include:
Sitting with minimal support
Head and neck control
Able to reach towards food
Loss of the tongue thrust reflex….
However, each child is unique and their journey to starting solids may come with some or all of the above signs.

‼️We know that there are important developmental windows of opportunity for both Flavor (4-9 months) and Texture Exploration (ideally before 9-10 months). It is important that babies experience many flavors (not just sweet or fruit purées!) and textures during this time period to set them up for a lifetime of positive eating experiences. So in addition to guiding the introduction to solids, we love to advise and support families on the food and textures they choose on their solids journey.

We want you to know that no matter if feeding in those initial months has been a breeze, or really hard, there is a way to introduce and feed solids that is supportive, timely, and FUN!

If you’re struggling on your solids journey — reach out! We would love to help.

What is Craniosacral Fascial Therapy — and why do we love it so much?

CFT is a gentle, hands-on technique that helps release tension in the craniosacral AND fascial systems of the body — the systems that affect everything from digestion and sleep to sensory processing and feeding.

At Nurtured Pediatrics, we use CFT to support:
👶🏼 Babies with reflux, colic, tongue ties, or birth trauma
👶🏽 Infants and toddlers with head shape asymmetries or tightness
👧🏾Older kids with regulation challenges, poor sleep, frequent illness, or lingering tension after stress or injury

Leah and Katie are trained CFT providers, and we offer this service:
✅ As part of occupational therapy
✅ As as a stand-alone wellness session
✅ In-home in Fort Collins and In-home or In-office in the Denver Metro area

If you’re wondering whether CFT could help your child thrive — reach out and we can let you know if this modality may be a good fit!

Three older siblings to chase — but first, we crawl!

This sweet baby has three older siblings who adore her — and it’s mutual. She watches them run across the room, and she wants to be standing and walking (running!) right alongside them. Her preferred position is 🆙 — standing just a little before she’s ready.

She’s been through more in her first year than many do in a decade — multiple surgeries, hospital stays, and feeding challenges.

She currently uses a feeding tube, and we’re working alongside Dietician to build the oral motor skills and endurance that support a safe, gradual transition/weaning to solids and open cups.

We’re also focusing on pre-hab — preparing her body before her next surgery by building strength and coordination now, so she can bounce back more quickly.

That means going back to the basics:
💪 Weight-bearing through her arms
💪 Core strength and postural control
💪 Transitions from sitting > quadruped > tall kneel
💪 Speaking of — lots of tall kneeling, as a purposeful alternative to tummy time (which she despises 87% of the time!)

💕 And what’s better than doing all that hard work while playing with mama? Because connection and co-regulation matter just as much as motor skills. 💕

This work might look simple from the outside — but it’s layered, intentional, and built around what she needs right now… all while PLAYING. We meet her where she is and build from there.
