It might be a bit messy (!), but drooling is a common and normal bodily reaction in babies! It's a sign that many important functions are at work in Baby's body. 👶

Drool is important for babies when it comes to:

🔹 Swallowing
🔹 Washing down food residue
🔹 Softening solids
🔹 Digestion
🔹 Preventing tooth decay

Talk to their healthcare provider if you're concerned about Baby's drooling!

Let's talk about ; what is it, what are the signs, and how can you help Baby through it? ⬇️

What is sleep regression?
Sleep regression is when a baby who once had a good sleep pattern reverts back to having frequent wake-ups, crying during the night, or has difficulty falling asleep. But, it's more than just one or two bad nights of sleep.

How can you help Baby through it?
🍼 Help Baby learn how to self-soothe
🍼 Make sure Baby is getting enough to eat
🍼 Follow a sleep schedule as best you can
🍼 Be patient- it won't last forever!
🍼 Don’t be afraid to ask for help

And, don't worry! Sleep regression is very common, so it does not mean anything is wrong. In fact, sleep regression is usually a part of Baby’s development.

** If you have concerns about Baby's development, we recommend reaching out to your primary healthcare provider.

If your little one is movin' and cruisin' 🚶‍♂️👶 – it's time to start baby proofing! 🏡🔒

It's important to make sure your house is ready for your toddler's new explorations 🔎✨. Help protect Baby from touching 🖐️, grabbing 🤲, and exploring 🌍 the everyday items they will now be fascinated by.

➡️ Remember, you may have to baby proof more than once 🔁. As your child develops and can climb 🧗‍♀️, more household items can become dangerous ⚠️.
