A great response to the New York Times’ recent article on tongue-tie releases. If done at the optimal timing with a team of professionals working together (IBCLC, feeding therapist and bodyworker), the release can be beneficial. https://www.mother.ly/news/tongue-ties-on-the-rise-new-york-times/?fbclid=IwAR0EYjXpQYTrNrkn3lgiWwYqJtPb3LinQwfCZpw4MVVDBQArQXJuzQRNiks_aem_AZtzCHartqilWNYAMafQiftUmsff_kOdpFI0pVtmu6FujVDqV3ZWfsXjPoxSf499Uso

Do you have a pre-crawling baby?

Come join us for our combined Tummy Time! Method and Infant Massage class series this month!

Tummy Time!™ Method is an evidenced-based tummy time program that incorporates movement, tummy time, and bonding between the caregiver and the baby. It was developed by Michelle Emmanuel, OTR/L.

Infant Massage Instruction is taught using the The TRIAD Family Model™ which promotes healthy infant, child, and family development while strengthening the family unit and bonding process to endure a lifetime. The model includes multiple components: environment, touch, and communication.

Tummy Time!™ Method and Infant Massage Instruction classes are taught to families of pre-crawling babies (ages 1 month to 6 months). Annika Suarez, MS, CCC-SLP, CLC, CIMI, the instructor of the classes, is a Certified Infant Massage Instructor and a certified Tummy Time! Method instructor.

All pre-crawling babies welcome! Bring your baby awake, sleepy, happy, or even cranky!
We ask that you bring a baby blanket from home for your baby.

Classes run for 4 week periods and are $25 per class.

Let us help you determine the cause of your baby’s colic symptoms and get it resolved!

I’ve been to several conferences this past year and this keeps coming up. Provider after provider acknowledges this. We know it to be true. So why is it still such a huge misconception. Perhaps myths really are easier to believe then truths. No animal or human should be crying non stop for days or hours without a cause.

Therapy BEFORE a tongue-tie release is just as important as therapy after.

Some benefits of pre-frenectomy therapy/evaluation.

The frenectomy is an important part of the process, but we shouldn’t leave out therapy.

Practice makes permanent. Both good practices and “bad.” Let’s get baby on the right track. Follow to learn more!

Do you have a pre-crawling baby?

It is recommended to put our babies in tummy time frequently, but what if your baby hates being on their tummy?

Come join us for Tummy Time!™ Method classes to learn how to get your baby to enjoy tummy time as well as benefit from all of the good things tummy time brings!

Tummy Time!™ Method is an evidenced-based tummy time program that incorporates movement, tummy time, and bonding between the caregiver and the baby. It also does the following:

• Promotes social/emotional connection
• Facilitates breastfeeding by optimally mobilizing and engaging baby’s face, tongue, jaw, throat, and neck muscles
• Improves posture creating optimal symmetry, balance, and natural alignment
• Promotes optimal head shape by offsetting the time baby lies on his or her back (decreases head flattening/molding)
• Eases colic & reflux through weight bearing on tummy reducing gas and stimulating healthy digestive function
• Engages baby’s natural reflexes and promotes brain and sensory development

Classes are taught by Certified Tummy Time! Method Instructor, Annika Suarez, who is also a speech-language pathologist, lactation counselor and infant massage instructor who specializes in infant feeding difficulties.
