Hey everyone! Looking for some advice for a little one under 3 who's not sleeping well. I've gathered a few occupational therapy strategies that might help:

🛁 Bedtime Routine: A consistent routine (like a bath, 📖 book, or 🎵 song) can help signal it’s time for bed.

🌙 Calming Environment: Dim lights, 🎶 white noise, and a cozy bed setup can make a big difference.

🤗 Sensory Techniques: Deep pressure hugs, a gentle massage, or rocking can help soothe them.

🕯️ Wind Down: Try to turn off screens 📵 and avoid high-energy activities an hour before bedtime.

📚 Relaxing Activities: Reading a story or simple belly breathing can help them calm down.

🧸 Comfort Items: A favorite blanket or stuffed toy can be comforting if they wake up at night.

😴 Keep It Comfortable: Make sure PJs and bedding are comfy, and that the room isn’t too hot or cold.

Anyone have other tips that worked for their kids? Would love to hear your ideas!

Let’s talk about safe sleep! 💤

Sleep safety for newborns is essential to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related dangers. Babies should always sleep on their back for every nap and overnight sleep, as this position significantly lowers the risk of suffocation and SIDS. The sleep environment should be firm, with no soft bedding, pillows, blankets, or stuffed animals in the crib, as these items can obstruct the baby’s breathing. The crib should be free of any hazards, with only a fitted sheet on the mattress. Finally, room-sharing (but not bed-sharing) is recommended for at least the first six months to keep the baby close and reduce risks. Make sure the baby is dressed appropriately for the temperature and to avoiding overheating.

Labeling and high repetition are key strategies in speech and language development for young children. Labeling helps children associate words with objects, actions, and concepts, building their vocabulary and understanding of the world. Repeated exposure to words and phrases reinforces neural connections, making it easier for children to recognize, comprehend, and eventually use language. High repetition also boosts memory retention, helping children to master new words and language patterns more quickly. Additionally, these practices encourage active engagement and participation in communication, which is crucial for developing both expressive and receptive language skills. By consistently hearing and practicing language, children gain confidence in their ability to communicate.
