There’s something so special about age one! 1️⃣

The tiny little wisps of hair that barely stay up, the little hands that reach for everything, and those baby giggles that could melt your whole heart.

They’re still very much a baby, but already showing personality, curiosity, and sweetness.

One is pure magic. It’s that in-between stage of
baby and toddler, and it goes by way too fast.

If you could bottle up this age forever, you would! 🤍

Every year, approximately 15 million babies are born premature.

That’s 1 in 10 babies worldwide. Today we wear purple to honor premature babies. 💜

When you hear that number, it’s easy to think of statistics.

But for millions of families, it’s not a number… it’s their whole world.

A NICU journey.
A fight for survival.
A story of strength, fear, hope, and unconditional love.

On World Prematurity Day we honor the tiniest fighters and the parents who never stop advocating!

Did you know you can start introducing a straw around 6 months old — right when your baby begins exploring solids? It’s a great time to help them learn new oral motor skills that support speech and feeding development!

There’s a few reasons why you want to introduce a straw early! Learning to use a straw can help develop the muscles needed for speech and swallowing. It’s also a great weaning tool to help your child move away from bottles since long term use of bottles can cause tooth decay.

Here’s a quick guide by age:

🍼 Around 6 months: Offer a straw cup with a small amount of water during meals. It’s mostly for practice, not hydration yet.

🥄 6–9 months: Many babies can start getting the hang of using a straw with some guidance (sometimes using a “trainer” straw cup helps).

💧 9–12 months: Most babies can independently drink from a straw with practice and consistency.

Using a soft and short straw or training cup can help make learning easier. You can even model the behavior! 🥤 Always practice during calm, seated mealtimes and always supervise!

This simple skill supports oral strength, coordination, and independence — all key parts of feeding development! 👶🏻

November is Prematurity Awareness Month.

1 in 10 babies are born too soon. 💛
Some spend weeks fighting in the NICU.
Some only need a little extra help.
And some never get the chance to come home.

For many, it hits close to home. Because they know what it’s like to count days instead of weeks.
Maybe it was your baby, maybe it was your best friend’s or maybe it was the baby you never got to bring home.

To every preemie parent, you are not alone.
It’s mom’s learning to bond through incubator walls while holding those tiny hands. 🧑🏽‍🍼
It’s dad’s memorizing every beep of a monitor.
It’s celebrating one ounce gained like it’s a miracle.
They’ve learned that strength doesn’t come in size, it comes in heartbeats that refuse to quit.

Some babies come home with oxygen tanks and home nurses.
Some grow up strong and you’d never know how they started.
And some… some never get to come home at all.

For every NICU parent, every preemie, every early arrival and every angel baby.. 💛

You’re seen. 🤍
You’re loved. 🤍
You matter. 🤍

To every warrior who came too soon but fought their way home, you are proof that miracles exist!

Happy Halloween! 👻🎃 Did you know birth rates actually drop on Halloween? Studies show about 5–8% fewer babies are born on October 31st — likely because providers often avoid scheduling inductions and C-sections on this ‘spooky’ day! So if your little one arrives on Halloween, they’re part of a pretty rare and special club! 👻🧡

What is your little one being for Halloween?!

As October and Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month comes to a close, we pause to remember the babies gone too soon — their memory lives on, not just in this month, but forever in our hearts. 🤍

To the ones who met their babies too early.
To the ones who met their babies sleeping.
To the ones who met love deeper than words.

You carried life.
You carried hope, you carried dreams.
And you said goodbye far too soon.

Your arms may be empty, but your heart still remembers every flutter, every dream, every moment that made you a mother. 🤎

We honor the babies who never got to stay, and the parents who will always carry them in their hearts.

Forever loved.
Forever missed.
Forever yours.

On Sunday, November 2nd, when the clocks “fall back,” sleep schedules can feel a little wild and throw our little ones off schedule ⏰ Check out these simple tips to help east the transition and make the change more bearable!

Option 1: ⏰ Shift gradually

🌙 Start adjusting bedtime a few days before the time change — move bedtime, naps, and meals about 10–15 minutes later each day.

🌙 Keep wake windows the same!

🌙 Bedtime should naturally shift about 10-15 minutes later on the clock each day.

Option 2: 🌥️ Expand Wake Windows

🌙 The weekend of the time change, expand each wake window by 5-15 minutes.

🌙 Keep bedtime the same. If your little one typically goes to bed at 7:00 p.m but is exhausted and ready for bed at 6:30 p.m, go ahead and put your baby to bed!

Option 3: 🥱 Do nothing!

🌙 Don’t adjust anything and let your child adjust naturally.

A few tips! 💡

🌞 Use light to your advantage
Morning light helps reset their internal clock — open blinds or get outside early! Keep lights dim in the evening to cue bedtime.

🛁 Stick to your routine
Your bedtime routine is everything right now. Familiar steps (bath, books, snuggles) help their body recognize it’s time for sleep — even if the clock says otherwise.

😴 Be patient + consistent
It can take about a week to fully adjust. Expect a few early mornings and a little crankiness — but stay calm and keep consistent.

⭐️ Bonus tip:
If your little one is up too early, keep lights low and encourage quiet rest until “morning time.” A toddler clock can help!
