“Thanks for all the shoe recs, Emily… but my child acts feral any time I try put them in shoes 🫠”
-
Can you relate? Let’s talk about WHY its so hard to put shoes on our kids and HOW to overcome this life-sucking battle.
-
Before we jump in, it’s important to note that the feet we’re born with are almost completely cartilage. THIS is why your little one’s toes end up everywhere BUT the front of their shoe when you’re getting them dresses 🤣 they are FLEXIBLE y’all.
-
The good news? We’re smarter than a baby foot ❤️ swipe through for some of my techniques that make putting shoes on a liiittle less of a chore.

FUNKY RUN? DON’T FREAK OUT!
-
Remember when your little one walked like Frankenstein at first? We’re not going to sugar coat this - new walkers look awkward 🤣 and the same can be said about new runners (until age 3 and a half!)
-
Now that you know the age that kiddos should run more confidently, let’s talk about what goes into running 👇🏼
✅ leg and hip stamina (duh)
✅ trunk stability
✅ arm and shoulder strength
-
It’s starting to make a bit more sense as to why I promote milestone development in a certain order, right? 😉 Swipe through for three activities to help solidify the foundation for your little one’s running ability! See ya later, Phoebe 👋🏼

If you want to feel overwhelmed… try making a baby registry 😅 there are a lot, and I mean A LOT of baby products out there. How are you supposed to know what’s worth it and what’s not??
-
While there’s not an end-all-be-all list out there that every parent, pediatrician and developmental expert can agree on, there IS a lot of great information available so YOU as the parent can come to our own conclusions with confidence.
-
As a mother myself, containers saved my sanity, but as a PT I also know that some products are just better, and more developmentally appropriate, than others. So I’ve put together a list of my preferred registry items so you can decide for yourself what to use for your little one… and not feel a single OUNCE of guilt about it 🙌
-
Save this post so you have it handy next time you head to BuyBuy Baby and check out my “baby products” highlight for more info about my preferred items!

Over the past week this position has created quite the drama🤷🏼‍♀️… Why??? Not sure, but I’m here for it !!!!
Starting the conversation ( even if I’m deemed “violent” and “abusive”) is the first step to wellness and knowledge!!!! -
-
So for years, we’ve used cross cross applesauce to cue our kids on how to sit on the floor. While this position is ok😕, what about a position that is GREAT?
-
Instead of “cross cross 🍎 sauce” let’s try “side sit right sit”. Why should we encourage this position?-
-
*Encourages an upright posture including a straight back with shoulders back-
-
*Improves core and hip strength needed for motor development-
-
*Increases attention due to better head positioning-
-
*Alternative to “W sitting”which results in a weakened core and poor balance. -
-
So let’s all say it together “SIDE SIT RIGHT SIT.”-
-
If your a side sitting SUPPORTER, drop some emoji’s telling me how you feel about it!🌶

HOW TO USE YOUR PROP-A-PILLAR 🐛
-
Look, I may be extra but something I will ALWAYS get behind is a baby product that has long-term use. So, let me introduce you to one of my favorites!
-
The Prop-A-Pillar is here to simplify your life! It’s an open-ended toy that can be used as a sitting prop, tummy time pillow, transitions motivator, and for pre OR post-walking play. This cute, purposeful pillow can be used from birth to 3yo, making it a worthwhile purchase and MUST HAVE baby product (in my opinion 😉)
-
This post is not sponsored, I just love this toy THAT much, and want to help y’all work smarter, not harder - because mom life is already hard enough as is, am I right?! 🥲
-
Scroll through for some of my favorite ways to use the Prop-A-Pillar through various developmental stages! I’ll be sharing some links to purchase on my story today so you can snag your own, too!
