Tiny Hearts on Instagram: "Feeling Nervous About Starting Finger Foods? 😬👇 If the thought of finger foods makes you anxious, food teethers are the perfect starting point! These long, firm foods help babies practice gripping, gnawing, and chewing without breaking into small pieces; building confidence while reducing choking risk. Why Use Food Teethers? 🍏 ✅ Safe for babies from 6 months – As soon as they’re ready for solids 🤲 Easy to grab & hold – Encourages independence with self-feeding 🚫 Too big to shove in the mouth all at once – Helps prevent choking 👅 Encourages tongue movement – Teaches baby to move food side to side 🦷 Builds chewing skills – Strengthens jaw muscles 🤢 Softens a strong gag reflex – Helps baby adjust to new textures gradually 🪥 Supports oral hygiene – Stimul
Tiny Hearts on Instagram: "Every parent should know this hack 🍎🍌🥑 Whether you are baby led weaning or your little one is ready for finger food, the squish test is a great way to ensure you give your bub foods that are safe to reduce the risk of choking. Foods that are round, hard, slippery and the size of an airway = increase the risk of choking The squish test helps you identify if the food is too hard so you can modify it to make is softer and safer. Introducing solids can be so overwhelming which is why I partnered with our incredible Paediatric Dietitian, Amy to build a course that helps you prevent choking, allergies and also gives you all the information to guide you through introducing solids with your little one, confidently."

Maria Schultz Appelt on Instagram: "For your baby to roll from back to tummy with good quality movement (engaging the front muscles), the roll should ideally start with a leg lift. This leg lift often happens naturally, but if it doesn’t, try the IKEA trick! Place bag clips on your baby’s socks while they lie on their back and play. This small change makes it easier for them to lift their legs- and in turn, helps initiate the roll. This playful exercise can be introduced from around three months. Babies should ideally be able to roll from back to tummy by six months, but many start practicing around 3-4 months. Have fun trying it out! 😊 With love, Maria ♥️ . . . . #MotorDevelopment #PediatricPhysiotherapy #BabyMilestones #BabyMotorSkills #HelpingBabyThrive #BabyPlay #ParentingTips #Ba

Falmed - Stanisław Faliszewski on Instagram: "⚽️ Start playing on the ball from around your baby’s 3rd month of life! 🍼 It’s very important to position your little one so that the bum is lower and the head is higher. This position is easier for them and will encourage more tummy time fun together! At 3 months, babies don’t need to have full or sustained head control yet — it’s completely normal for their head to “stick” to the ball ⚽️ briefly during exercises and for lifting to be intermittent. With regular ball exercises, head control gradually improves 💪 and your baby learns better stability and muscle strength. This is an important stage in every child’s motor development! 🧸 🤸‍♂️ We start with bouncing up and down, a gentle rocking on the ball that engages and strengthens back an

Modern Nursery on Instagram: "😮 Most (not all) babies hate tummy time! Most of the experts do say that it’s beneficial for babies to practice tummy time each day for longer stretches at a time as they get older and stronger. 👏 Here are some ways we do tummy time beyond the traditional approach of putting baby on their tummy on a mat and having them look at something interesting: 🌟 1. Chest to chest- this is a great exercise to do after a feed or just to bond with your baby. In their sweet world, nothing beats being able to connect with mom or dad! 🌟 2. Airplane- holding them facing down and moving them allows them to strengthen neck muscles and seems to help them when they’re fussy too. 🌟 3. Over the leg- you can cross your leg to angle them a bit. 🌟 4. Flat on lap- either on an

Samatva N Dudani on Instagram: "The idea of taking flights with your little ones can make you so anxious. Hence here are the few tips that can surely make your experience better and comfortable. I have already taken 11 flights with my 11 month old, out of which 2 I have taken alone and 2 were 10 hrs long international flights. So now you know u am talking out of my personal experience. 1. Board last. Even if they call families first, waiting 45+ minutes on the plane is harder for the baby than being at the gate. 2. Let them move. If your baby is 6+ months old, allow crawling or walking at the airport before boarding. 3. Choose night flights for longer hauls- higher sleep pressure means longer sleep stretches. 4. Request a bassinet seat if you are travelling internationally. Don’t forg

Sara Wilson, PA-C, CLC- Lactation, Breastfeeding on Instagram: "Good job baby girl! 🥰 We have had a simultaneously great but also rocky first week of breastfeeding. She immediately had a strong latch and suck and did a great job opening her mouth wide with good jaw motion and suck/swallow coordination. My milk transitioned well at 2-3 days postpartum and she’s making wet and poopy diapers like it’s her job 😜 But she just wasn’t getting her tongue extended over the lower gum line and couldn’t elevate it/cup the breast super well In laymen’s terms: breastfeeding hurt Thankfully my nipples were actually in pretty good shape aside from some soreness and an occasional crack or scab. Silverettes were my saving grace in between nursing sessions. So I’ve been doing some gentle stretching w

Pediatric Sleep & Postpartum Coach | Constance Lewis on Instagram: "If your baby is teething and sleep has suddenly fallen apart, you’re not imagining it — but you might be making it even harder without realizing. Here’s the truth: Only treating teething at bedtime is a huge mistake. Most parents wait until their baby is already miserable — right before naps or nighttime — to try soothing teething pain. But by that point, the discomfort and inflammation have built up all day long, making it 10x harder for your baby to settle and sleep. Here’s what to STOP doing: • Don’t wait until your baby is crying and miserable to address teething. • Don’t rely only on quick fixes like medicine or gels right before sleep. • Don’t assume “they’ll just grow out of it” without offering relief. Inste

LA Lactation on Instagram: "Helping babies move their arms—especially across the midline of their body—is a big deal for their development! Here’s why: 1. Brain Development & Coordination • Moving one arm across the body (midline crossing) helps connect the left and right sides of the brain, which is essential for coordination and future skills like reading and writing. • It strengthens bilateral coordination, meaning both sides of the body learn to work together (important for crawling, walking, and using both hands efficiently). 2. Core Strength & Postural Control • When babies reach across their body, they’re engaging their core muscles—which helps with balance, sitting, and eventually standing. • This movement also preps them for more advanced motor skills, like twisting, rolling

5.8K views · 3.6K reactions | Wondering how to help your little one build confidence AND stability with walking? BABY SQUATS! In this example alone, you can see practice with midrange control (think squat pulses), repetitions up and down, as well as static holds. This activity is a powerhouse for building strength in the core, hips, legs, feet, and ankles! It also helps with body awareness, safety awareness, and so much more. Progression: 1️⃣ BEGINNER: The example in this video is a great beginner option. We are introducing the movement but allowing the support of a stable surface. Using an upright surface (like a sliding door) encourages more control and strengthening… as opposed to leaning onto a couch or ottoman. 2️⃣ INTERMEDIATE: Progressing to utilizing an unstable object.
