Wishing a very happy OT month to the wonderful OTs in our field, who I learn so much from! I have a special appreciation for OT from not only a business and professional perspective, but also a personal perspective as a Mom who has had multiple experiences with a child receiving OT. We are so lucky to have Emily, Caitlin, Liesl, and Kristin on our OT team to share their wonderful skills with their patients and families!

The midline, or center, position is where infant development starts! In babies younger than 3 months, we often see their heads turned to the side rather than held in midline due to not having full head control. Midline can also be impacted by a head turn preference, head flattening, or the ATNR reflex. Here are some activities to help promote the midline position for your little one!

🌟Sidelying: a favorite play position of mine, it is perfect for newborns because gravity naturally brings their hands together in midline! Placing something visually stimulating in front of them like a black and white photo, and offering a toy that is easy to grasp helps make sidelying more exciting. And finally, if your baby has trouble maintaining sidelying, place a blanket roll behind their back.

🌟Supine (Back-lying) with blanket roll: Place your baby in the center of a receiving blanket, and then roll in each side to create a little nest to help your baby hold their head in midline. The rolls can also be behind the shoulders to provide support for baby to bring hands to midline.

🌟Supine (Back-lying) with U-shaped blanket roll under play gym: roll a receiving blanket up longways, and place it around your baby in a U-shape to support the head and arms in midline. Using a play gym provides motivation for baby to start swatting, reaching, or kicking toward the toys and building the foundation for controlled midline reaching! This activity is great for babies 1 month or older who have longer quiet alert periods.

As a reminder, these activities should always be supervised! If your baby falls asleep, move them to a safe sleep surface and remove all blanket rolls.

Friendly reminder to save your money and limit time in containers to under 1 hour total each day! Swipe to see all your baby really needs. The floor is the best place to let your baby play and learn how to move their body without restrictions from being in a container!

Kids start to try to climb up onto adult furniture (couches, kitchen chairs, coffee tables, etc) between 15 and 18 months old. While this is a big accomplishment for them, this new skill is unfortunately not often joined by an increased level of safety awareness, and they usually try to dive head first off of the furniture! Help your little one get down from furniture by helping them move from sitting onto their belly, and then pushing backward until their feet touch the floor. Some cues I say are "on your belly" or "feet first" while I guide them through the correct sequence so they can begin to learn how to do it themselves!

We recently got a question about how to squeeze in tummy time during the newborn stage, specifically when there are older siblings too! Here are some helpful tips for managing supporting your infant's development while also doing activities with and caring for older children:

✅Tummy time on your chest absolutely counts during this stage! Placing baby on your chest while you sit on the couch and supervise your older kids playing is a great way to fit in tummy time!
✅"Tummy time minute" after diaper changes. Newborns have MANY diaper changes in those first few weeks - roll baby over onto their belly on the changing pad after a diaper change and set a timer for 1-2 minutes! Give your baby support under their elbows to help them hold their head up as a little bonus to help them tolerate it better. This activity will slowly but surely increase time spent on their belly throughout the day!
✅Try tummy time over your lap or over a boppy/nursing pillow before or after a feed for a short amount of time. This depends a lot on your baby's temperament and how hungry they are/if they have reflux and spit up frequently, but worth a try!
✅Finally, if it is a busy day of activities for your older kids or if your baby is having a particularly fussy day, baby wearing counts toward tummy time! It is not the most active form of tummy time, but the tummy is still in contact with you, and it is time off the back of their head!
