For parents with older babies!

Babies are developing and changing at a rapid rate in those first couple of years. They transition from sitting to crawling to standing to walking. It is exciting to watch them progress, but it can also feel overwhelming. However, there are simple ways you can position, play, and facilitate your babies movements at home to help them achieve their milestones.

To learn more about these techniques, you can join us for this FREE virtual presentation hosted by one of our pediatric physical therapists, Ashley Koprowski, PT, DPT on July 22nd from 9am to 11am! Have your baby and toys around to play or just take in the information to play later. Ashley will be available for questions and support throughout the presentation!

This opportunity is geared for parents and caregivers of babies learning to crawl, stand, and walk!

We look forward to having you attend the event!

Join me tomorrow at 10:30am!

Advocacy Alert! A hearing is scheduled! Last fall, Michigan Senate Bill 351 passed the Michigan Senate, and now it needs to pass through the House Judiciary Committee! Michigan SB 351 expands upon the current Breastfeeding Anti-Discrimination Act of 2014 which protects a birthing person’s right to breastfeed in public to now include protection for human milk expression (i.e., pumping in public). This bill is essential to protect folks who may need to be outside of their homes for long periods of time without access to their child, such as parents with a baby in the NICU, as well as folks who exclusively pump/express milk for many reasons. The hearing will be on Wednesday, May 15th. Michiganders, take action! To learn more: https://mailchi.mp/mibreastfeeding.org/hearingscheduled
