Tummy time is important for a baby’s development and overall well-being. Here are of our expert tips to ensure safe and effective tummy time:

🤎 Start tummy time early, ideally from the first few weeks after birth, gradually increasing the duration as the baby grows.

💚 Always supervise tummy time to ensure the baby’s safety and comfort.

🤎 Place the baby on a firm, flat surface, such as a play mat or blanket, and encourage them with toys or your voice to keep them engaged.

💚 If your baby doesn’t enjoy tummy time at first, try short sessions several times a day and gradually increase the duration as they become more comfortable.

Working with this family during those first tender months with Penelope was truly a gift 🤍
From the very beginning, it was an honor to support them as they found their rhythm, gained confidence, and learned their beautiful baby. Being trusted during such an intimate season of life is something I never take lightly.
One moment that stands out was noticing that something didn’t quite feel right with feeding. Trusting my experience, I gently suggested a lactation evaluation with a LC I often refer to. That was something that ultimately led to discovering Penelope’s tongue, lip, and buccal ties. Seeing her thrive after receiving the right support was incredibly rewarding and a reminder of how impactful early, informed care can be.
Families like this are why I do this work. The connection, the trust, and the ability to make a meaningful difference during the postpartum period will always be what I love most about supporting new parents.
Forever grateful to be part of your story 🤍

Where Did the Baby Go? 🤍
This book has stayed with me for a lifetime.
It’s the story of a little girl who finds a photo of a baby and begins searching for her, looking all around the house, wondering where she could have gone. And by the end of the book, she realizes the truth: the baby didn’t go anywhere.
She grew up. She became her.
My mom read this to me when I was little, and now, after nearly 28 years of supporting families in the newborn and early childhood stages, it feels even more meaningful. It gently captures how fleeting those early years are and how babies are always still there, just growing and becoming.
This book is such a special reminder that the moments we’re living now will one day be memories. Stories like this don’t just entertain children they quietly shape how we understand time, growth, and love.
Some books grow with us 🤍

🌙 Goodnight Moon has always been one of my favorite bedtime books to share with little ones. There’s something so calming about the simple rhythm and the way each “goodnight” helps babies settle their bodies and minds at the end of the day. 💛
I love this book because it creates such a peaceful bedtime routine — even for the tiniest newborns. The gentle repetition, familiar objects, and soft illustrations make it a perfect first story for comforting, bonding, and easing into sleep.
If you’re building your baby’s bedtime library, this is one of those books that truly grows with your child. It’s sweet, soothing, and timeless… a little moment of quiet in the middle of those busy newborn days. 💫
Do you read this one at bedtime? What other favorites should I share next?
