Your baby’s favorite side isn’t just a preference it’s a pattern.
Sophia’s right-sided tilt looked small at first, but it was quietly shaping her skull and movement until her parents acted early.

Early asymmetry doesn’t fix itself but the solution is simple, gentle, and starts with awareness.
I’ll show you my H.E.A.D. Check how to spot early asymmetry before it changes your baby’s development.

The secret to better tummy time isn’t a new toy it’s your mindset.
Babies mirror what we feel. When you approach tummy time with calm confidence, they relax and engage.
It’s not about perfection. It’s about connection. 💛

Every week matters. Early awareness changes everything. 💛

Even as a PT and a mom, I didn’t realize tummy time should total 60–90 minutes a day.
But it’s not about long stretches it’s about small, consistent moments that build strength and prevent flat heads. 💪👶
