Have baby development questions? Having difficulty getting a comfortable fit with your carrier? Struggling with baby’s head shape? Tummy time? Want to use a ring sling but not sure how? Baby fighting the baby carrier? Have concerns but getting brushed off? Let’s work together! We have options depending on if you are needing care locally here in the Phoenix Valley or if further away and wanting to connect virtually.

Have questions? Send a DM and I’ll be happy to help!

Virtual Support is for anyone who is not local to the East Valley. However, even many local families may choose a quick virtual fit check if they can’t attend an in person event. Asynchronous support is offered via text or email. No live appt needed so no need to worry about nap schedules or a fussy baby.

Local Families we can connect in person! Whether in your home, in the clinic, or during a group class. Have questions about which offering is best for you? We can chat in a virtual “meet-and-greet” or you can send us a message.

I can’t wait to connect with you soon. It’s time to stop stressing, stop googling, and get support. taken in Mesa, Arizona by @milestone_mama

Did you know that all of these carriers are VERY different? They will work for different bodies, budgets, and babies. So asking other people what they like can maybe give you some carriers to look into. Buuuuut not a reliable way to figure out what is actually going to be a good fit for you!

If you want to learn more about the differences in carriers you can attend Babywearing Basics here in Gilbert AZ on 10/25 (comment CLASS and I’ll send you the link to sign up!)

OR

Attend my Free virtual event with @joinauggie on 10/28 while I share some of the considerations you should think about when choosing the right carrier for you! (Comment AUGGIE and I’ll send you that link!)

And yes this matters for typically developing children. But especially for my low tone little guy who likes to live his feet out in front- WE NEED A LONGER FOOTREST.

This is why so many feeding therapists love the Tripp Trap! Which I will be getting ASAP.

Here’s a peek at a session from mid Sept. working on forward and lateral weight shifting. Both things we need to balance and take steps. Laying in some visual, fine motor, and speech tasks as well!

Bubbles are always a win :)

You are not babywearing enough! It’s true. We can totally let go of the concern that babywearing is going to be detrimental to your baby’s development.

*AD* The options on the Grownsy bassinet are phenomenal. Height options, stand alone bassinet, drop down side, bedside sleeper, and take it off to move to the floor?!? That’s impressive. That’s what the people (us! Tired parents!) want. Seriously, every day might be a littler different with a tiny baby and it’s so nice to have one item that helps you meet so many different possible needs.

✨You can find the Grownsy Bassinet on Amazon and use my code BONNIEBED10 to save.

LMK if you have questions in the comments. I’m happy to answer!

Birthdays with your children always come with such big emotions. It’s so amazing to watch them grow and celebrate how wonderful they are! But the emotions with a child who has global delays are sooo much more rollercoaster-y than I have ever experienced. There is just so much we expect from a two year old that he isn’t doing yet and that hit me like a ton of bricks. Looking at those milestone checklists just is not helpful to me right now.

What is important is that he is doing so much more than he was even just a few months ago. He is so motivated to move, stand and walk. He is making new sounds and communication every day. He is taking off his with feeding abilities. His progress is fantastic and I’m so proud of him. More than that he is happy! He loves music, bubbles, playing with his sisters, being outside. He is so playful. He brings such joy into our family. So instead of getting lost in the checklists I’m going to choose to celebrate him exactly where he is at on his own unique journey. Celebrate this wonderful little human in all of his glory. That’s all that matters. by @milestone_mama

I’m going to be honest and vulnerable here. Once I realized there was something going on with my son I felt a little paralyzed. I was so stricken with grief (complicated by the fact that no medical professional would agree something was wrong/or could figure out what was wrong) that I couldn’t even focus on therapy for a while. I’m a Pediatric PT and I could not even begin to think about what he needed. It was overwhelming.

But I had to give myself a little pep talk. This little boy needed me. As his Mama and as a therapist. I was absolutely the right person for the job but it was a tall order. Being Mama & PT at the same time is INCREDIBLY hard. I had to tell myself what I would tell the parent of a client: I didn’t need to do everything. I just needed to do something. Small little things throughout my day to support his development. I started there. And over time I was able to layer in more and more things. Some weeks I felt very tough and motivated and some weeks we really just snuggled and healed. It was so necessary.

This little move is one I recommend for most families to do. Moving from sidelying to sitting. Allowing time for baby to lift their head when tilted to the side supports head control, trunk control. Eventually they start to push with their arms. Gives some great sensory input. There’s a lot happening! And you can layer this in after diaper changes allll day long. It’s easy and impactful.

Just start here. Start small and watch how the small things turn into really big things. I’m here for you if you need support ❤️

Sometimes I get such a jump scare when he walks through the door because I have half the house (or yard) torn apart and I thought it was still 2pm 😆 WHOOPS! by @milestone_mama
