Kelly talks about the role of chiropractic in pregnancy and postpartum care. Chiropractic care is a holistic approach that focuses on the balance and function of the body. She debunks the myth of cracking bones and explains that gentle pressure is used during treatment. She explains that chiropractic care is safe for all family members, including infants and children. We delve into care for babies and discuss that new mothers commonly underrate post birth issues in babies, such as sleep, feeding and tummy time, as developmental instead of mechanistic, and chiropractic care can help with behavioural support. She also explains the way babies are birthed, either vaginally or via caesarean, can impact their development.  Kelly speaks about the importance she places on working in collaboration with paediatricians, IBCLC's and other health practitioners. She offers advice for parents who may be concerned about their baby's development. She mentions the importance of sensory feedback, head control, and muscle tone in the first 12 months of life. She also highlights the role of tummy time in developing the brain and how different positions, such as chest tummy time or being carried in a carrier, can be beneficial.  You can find Kelly and her team at Hunter Healthy Spines - https://hunterhealthyspines.com.au/ Instagram @hunterhealthyspines

Dr. Amelie is a pediatric physical therapist who specializes in gross motor development and wellness. She has worked in all areas of pediatric health, from hospitals to outpatient clinics, as well as home visits.

In this episode, physical therapist Stephanie Novacek (@wellbellybabe) and I talk about infant assessment skills, the vagus nerve, and the importance of co-regulation between mom and baby. She walks us through what a wave of therapeutic tummy time looks like and explains what retained reflexes are and how rhythmic movement can help us integrate them. Finally, she and I talk about how moms often want to be seen and heard, too, when they're struggling to help baby resolve something. We both agree that taking care of the mother is taking care of the baby, and it's important for the mother to mother herself as well. Toward the end of the episode, Stephanie mentions an upcoming virtual workshop for reflex integration and that is coming up on February 8, 2023 at 8pm CST. You can sign up HERE and it's free!

This episode I cover Tummy Time and how best to support your baby with courage, knowledge, and true success.Growth and development are NOT linear.Each child follows their own developmental rhythm, so not all babies will reach these stages at the same time, and sometimes they get bunched together. It's a progression. It's necessary beyond strength and coordination.Listen through and learn how it builds conscious intellectual activity!Tummy Time supports:Visual skills / depth perception - visual & auditory connection/integrationOpen up hands / thumb - grabbing and picking small items (utensils, object play)Prevents / mitigate plagiocephaly  & torticollisLengthen & strengthen front of the body: roll-over, sit-up, crawl, stand & walkBaby Led Weaning introduces solid foods around ~ 6 months  START with goal of  1-2 mins  for  every wake period / broken up in 24 hrsThink BURSTS: provide a few seconds on your chest, football position, or lapAround the second month introduce floor with a towel rolled up under him/herTOYS to distract are very helpfulBut remember...

Have you given your son any “tummy time” today? “Tummy time” is a fairly new concept in the parenting world, in which parents of infants are encouraged to let their baby spend time on their stomach. Babies often protest and find it very uncomfortable. But without this valuable time, they will not strengthen critical muscles or eventually learn to crawl. No matter your son's age, he still needs one small challenge each day. This could be saying his own order at the restaurant, calling the vet to make an appointment for his dog, or completing a puzzle– anything that he would not normally choose to do himself. He may protest and find it uncomfortable, but it will strengthen his resilience muscle and build his self confidence. For more ideas on raising boys to be godly men, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

Shortly after birth, babies must transform their weak muscles into fully functioning and responsive tools. Putting your baby on his tummy is one of the most important a parent can provide during this transition from womb to world. What are some great exercises to do during tummy time? What are some of the common problems parents face? And what do you do if your child just doesn't like it? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We've all been there. You're at the park or on a playdate with your mom friends and their babes who are about the same age. You're trying not to - you really are - but you can't help but notice that your friend's baby is crawling or walking or doing something that your child is not yet doing. And they are the same age.You try not to panic. But the truth is, we've never done this before. We don't know what is considered “normal” and what isn't when it comes to so many things about our children, particularly their developmental milestones. I'm talking about things like rolling over, crawling, walking and other gross motor skills your pediatrician asks you about at every check up.Today, Dr. Brita DeStefano helps take the guesswork out of those developmental skills. Dr. DeStefano is board certified as a pediatric specialist and focuses her work primarily on babies between 0 and 2 years old where much of these developmental motor skills occur.We talk about lip ties and tongue ties as well, sleep positions, flat heads and helmets, and so much more.Get ready to feel empowered and to truly understand what's going on for your child in those very formative years so that you can work together to make this time enjoyable.

If you have a new baby chances are you've been asked by your health care providers about how your baby is doing during tummy time.  So what's the big deal?  In this episode, Dr. Shannon interviews Michelle Emanuel, a pediatric occupational therapist, who specializes in posture, feeding, neurodevelopment, social nervous system, and manual therapies.  In her 26 years of working with infants in a hospital setting, and infants and older kids in private practice, she was able to combine her expertise and understanding of neurological development and create a program to help parents who were struggling with tummy time.  In this interview, Michelle and Dr. Shannon geek out a bit on neurological development, but it really sets the stage for understanding why tummy time is important.  We talk about:Why tummy time is importantSome of the common issues she seesWhy she created the programWhat TUMMYTIME!

Jaidyn Johnson is an Occupational Therapist, specializing in helping young children reach milestones. So much of a child's development starts with "tummy time" where a child learns how to move their head, then push up with their hands and arms, which leads to rolling over and eventually sitting up and crawling. Without the fundamental development skills, children can fall behind on "milestones" that could hinder learning and social skills in the future. Beav and Jaidyn also discuss the importance of a father to children, based on multiple studies as well as Jaidyn's personal experience as she grew up not knowing her own dad. All of this and a ton more on this episode of the Tactical Baby Gear® Podcast.

Dr. Carole Keim MD takes parents through all the different developmental milestones that babies go through from newborn to one year of age. She details the types of development, how to play with your baby to enhance development, and how much screen time is okay for babies.Dr. Keim explains how your baby's grasp will develop as they age through their first year and when they'll be able to use their thumb and forefinger to pick up small objects, for example. She explains how far they can see when they're newborn, when they start to recognize voices and then faces, when they develop object permanence (which is the same time they start to love playing peek-a-boo). She covers reflexes, speech patterns, tummy time, stranger anxiety, helpful play, and everything you need to know about how your baby is absorbing their world.This episode will cover: Types of developmentDevelopmental milestones by ageHow to play with your babyScreen timeTypes: 0:42Gross motor skills - use large muscle groupsFine motor - small muscle groupsVerbal/social - their interaction with family / peersIsolated delays are often benign;

Now babies are being seen every three months, so the next few visits will be 9 months, 12 months, 15 months and 18 months. Carole Keim is also working on a third edition of The Baby Manual coming out soon.

Just in case you thought the restrictions on abortion could only happen in other countries, the UK government has now decided it doesn't need to be placed in the Human Right's statement either. This is all part of a rather worrying trend where politicians, of all parties and all sexes, are happy to slowly strip women's independence away from them. From Republicans in the US voting against contraceptives to the elected officials in Scotland, at a national and local level, deciding to go back to the puritan approach of the 1950s and banning women working in strip clubs.This stuff is something to get active about and write to your representative.Remember to follow us on Instagram and Facebook for the competitions, wisdom and cute videos.
