We check for a 🫣 SNEAKY P*E 🫣

I feel a like I have to share this mom hack because it was a huge game changer for us!

After potty training our toddler, he had a really hard time understanding why he needed to go potty before we left the house or before nap or bedtime and it was a battle every time 🫠 Then, I saw someone in a comment section on a random post recommend calling it a sneaky p*e (wish I could remember who commented it to give credit but it was a while ago). So we tried it, and it was a life saver for us!

So now we check for a sneaky p*e because the thing about a sneaky p*e is you don’t know it’s hiding in there because it’s so sneaky! So you might not feel like you have one but that’s why you have to check! 🫣😉

Now it’s become a fun and silly thing to do and it turned a daily battle into an easy part of the routine!

reached out and sent me a mat to try and I am honestly so impressed 👏🏼

It has that high quality, well made feel right out of the box. It is durable for spills, spit up, snack crumbs, and everything in between.

✨But what really matters to me is how it supports development.✨

It is the perfect balance of soft and firm. Comfortable and safe for little ones and even those fearless leaping toddlers 😂 but not so squishy that it restricts mobility. That balance is the most important factor I look for in a playmat. Babies need a surface that allows them to feel the ground, generate force, pivot, roll, and push without sinking in.

If you are looking for something functional and aesthetically pleasing and also supports development, this one truly checks the boxes.

If your baby is really getting the hang of sitting but seems a little stuck and unable to transition, this is a great activity to practice together 🤍

This activity is a beautiful way to turn a static position into dynamic movement — building strength, exploring mobility, and developing coordination and balance all at once.

Try this:
✨ Place a toy slightly off to one side
✨ Gently guide your baby’s arms toward the toy to encourage a reach across midline
✨ Help sweep their legs to the side and tuck their knees underneath them
✨ Add support as needed by softly placing your knees around theirs for stability
✨ Hang out and play in this position
✨ When you’re ready to return to sitting, guide the movement from the hips — gently drawing one hip up and over the opposite foot to come back into upright sitting

We’re teaching them how to move through positions — not just hold them.

We celebrate when babies hit milestones. And yes — early milestones can absolutely fall within normal development 🤍

But here’s something most parents aren’t often told:
It’s not just about when your baby moves.
It’s about how they move.

Some early movers rely on extra tension or stiffness to generate motion. They may look strong and advanced, but they could still be developing the stability needed to support those skills long term.

And that doesn’t mean something is wrong.
It simply means we want to make sure their foundation is solid.

If your baby:
• Seems stiff
• Moves constantly and struggles to hold positions
• “Rushes” through stages
• Looks strong but wobbly when still

It might be worth a quick check-in with a pediatric PT.

Most of the time, small, play-based adjustments can make a meaningful difference.

We just want movement that is controlled, stable, and sustainable 💛

At BloomWell, we believe in supporting development with education, reassurance, and evidence-based care. We’re here to help you understand your baby’s movement, strengthen their foundation, and feel confident in the process.

Because development isn’t a race — it’s a journey.
And you don’t have to navigate it alone.

If this made you think of your little one, feel free to DM us or drop a question below 👇

Facts, Not Fear - Part 1: The Snoo

Do I love the Snoo? Definitely not.
But do I think it’s a hard and fast “no”? Also no.

My problem with the Snoo is that it significantly restricts movement. When movement is limited for long stretches, it can impact trunk and neck mobility — and in some babies, contribute to increased risk of head flattening.

BUT… I also understand that if it’s helping your baby (and you) get better sleep, that’s a huge deal. Sleep matters. Parental mental health matters. A regulated household matters.

So here’s where I land:

🚫 Hard no situations:
• Torticollis
• Noticeable tension or asymmetry
• Motor delays
• Existing flat spot or worsening head shape

In these cases, restricting movement will feed into the dysfunction.

🤍 Situations where I’m okay with it (with intentional counter measures):
• Baby is developing symmetrically
• Head shape is round
• Milestones are being met on time
• No significant tension or positional preference

If that’s your baby, and you choose to use it — we just need to counterbalance.

Here’s how:

✔️ Monitor head shape closely
✔️ Prioritize daily floor time
✔️ Encourage active neck rotation both directions
✔️ Promote trunk rotation and side-lying play
✔️ Reduce time in other restrictive containers

The key isn’t perfection — it’s awareness and balance.
