Did you know what our number one rule in therapy is?

✍🏻 don’t let the babies cry

Yep. That’s it. If baby cries more than 30 seconds and our calming techniques aren’t working- baby goes back to momma. Babies learn best when they’re calm. Mommas learn best when baby is calm.

There’s a few things we do to help keep babies calm: rocking, swinging, humming, white noise, massage, bouncing, etc. It can be hard to do all those things while also talking to parents about what we’re doing- so you may see us pull out the 🤫 to help us get those sweet babies calm.

It’s not uncommon for our babies to fall asleep during therapy. That’s how gentle we are (even though we’re dang effective too).

Play isn’t “just fun” — it’s brain work! Crawling, stacking, bouncing, and exploring build the neural pathways that support lifelong learning.

Every wiggle, roll, and reach tells a story. Babies move to explore, connect, and learn about their world — it’s how their brains grow strong foundations for everything that comes next.

When a movement is one sided (always use the same arm) or is later than expected, your little one is communicating that something just feels off. You can tell when that happens, and we can tell you how to help them feel better.

Floor time isn’t just about play!
It’s your baby’s gym, classroom, and practice space all in one. 💛

This is where they learn how to push up, roll, reach, pivot, and eventually crawl.

When babies don’t get enough time on the floor, you might notice little red flags...a flat spot on their head, stiffness in certain positions, preferring to look only one way, or frustration every time they’re placed down.

🙌 Some babies love floor time right away, while others need time to warm up to it, and that's completely normal.

What matters is giving them consistent opportunities to stretch, strengthen, and discover what they can do.

✨ Save this post if you’re in the middle of tummy time struggles.

And don't hesitate to send us a message if you’re unsure whether your baby just needs more practice or could benefit from extra support.

We’ll help you figure out the best next step so your little one can keep growing strong, balanced, and confident.

Vision isn’t only about seeing clearly, it’s about how your baby’s brain and eyes team up to guide movement, play, and connection.

Sometimes, little clues in how your baby looks at you, tracks a toy, or reaches out can tell us so much about where they are in their development.

And the earlier we catch those clues, the easier it is to give them the right support.

✨ You don’t need fancy equipment...just everyday moments can give you insight into your baby’s growing vision.

👉 Save this post so you can come back to it anytime you’re wondering how to check in on your baby’s visual milestones.

For many moms, it feels like two separate worries...head shape and motor milestones.

But they’re often more connected than we realize.

A flat spot can make it harder for babies to turn their head evenly, push up during tummy time, or use both sides of their body equally.

Over time, what started as “just a head shape issue” can show up in how babies build strength, balance, and coordination.

And while every baby develops at their own pace, supporting both head shape and movement together often helps them reach those milestones more confidently.

✨ If you’ve been wondering whether your baby’s head shape might be holding them back, you don’t have to just “wait and see.”

📩 DM us “HEAD SHAPE” and we’ll send you our free head shape help guide to help you know what to watch for.

Milestones aren’t just about when they happen, but how your baby gets there.

👉 Early rolling can be completely normal, but it can also mean your baby is skipping over certain skills, like building strong head and neck control, developing shoulder stability, or learning to push up on their arms.

Sometimes, babies roll early because they’ve mastered movement and are eager to explore.

Other times, it’s their body’s way of avoiding something uncomfortable, like spending time on their tummy due to muscle tightness, oral tension, or even mild reflux.

The tricky part?

You can’t always tell just by watching them.
And while some babies roll early and go on to hit every milestone with ease, for others, it’s a little clue that their development might need extra support.

💛 If your baby is rolling earlier than expected and you’re wondering what it means for their growth, we’ve got you.

📩 Send us a message and let’s talk about what’s typical, what’s worth keeping an eye on, and simple ways to support their next big milestones.
