Dear Mama,
If your babyâs mouth is often open while resting, sleeping, or just hanging outâŚ
đ Youâve probably found yourself deep in a 2AM scroll, asking:
âIs this normal?â
âShould I be concerned?â
âWhat does this really mean?â
Letâs talk about itâŚ
⨠Sometimes, open mouth posture is just temporaryâŚlike when baby is congested from teething or a little cold.
⨠But sometimes, itâs a sign the tongue is sitting low instead of resting gently on the roof of the mouthâŚwhich can affect:
⢠nasal breathing
⢠feeding and latch
⢠sleep quality
⢠regulation and body tension
⢠palate development over time
But hereâs the most important part:
â¨You donât have to figure this out alone.
â¨You donât need Dr. Google to keep you guessing.
â¨You can get clarityâŚwith support that makes sense for your baby.
Iâm Dana, a baby OT and infant feeding specialist, and I help exhausted, overwhelmed moms like you every day untangle the confusion and find answers.
So if your gut is whispering,
âIf somethingâs going on, I want to knowâŚâ
Weâre here to help you trust that voice.
đ Call or text the clinic to schedule a connection call.
No pressure. No panic. Just peace of mind.
You are the expert on your baby.
Letâs help you feel that way again.

Mama + Me is shifting (not stopping) â¨đ
Weâve run this class a few times now, and every time I walk away thinking: this is what new moms need more of.
Real connection.
Real support.
Real tools they can actually use.
So instead of holding our next class this Tuesday, weâre going to pause for a moment, check in with the community, and reschedule to a time that works better for more of you.
If youâve been eyeing Mama + Me, this is your gentle nudge: drop a đbelow or send me a message and Iâll make sure youâre the first to know when the new date opens.
Mama + Me is for:
đź Pregnant or newly postpartum mamas (babies 0â3 months)
đ§ Who want more clarity, less chaos
â¨And a place to ask real questions in real time
Weâre not going anywhere. Weâre just giving you a little more space to get here.

â¨MAMA+ME UPDATEâ¨
Tomorrowâs Mama+Me Class is being rescheduled as we make space for something even better.
Iâm working on a new day and time that fits more naturally into both the clinic schedule and the rhythm of motherhood. Iâm also exploring a recorded option for those who prefer to watch at home, on your own timeâŚbecause support should fit your season, not the other way around.
If youâve been thinking about joining, Iâd love your input! What days/times work best for you?
This space is for youâŚto feel empowered, encouraged, and connected as you care for your baby and yourself. đŤś
Stay tuned for new dates. I canât wait to grow this with you!

From one mama to another â Happy Motherâs Day.
Looking back at these photos reminds me of everything I didnât know yetâŚ
How much love, strength, and surrender motherhood would take.
Now that Iâm living it, I see you â in such a deeper way.
Whether youâre navigating feeding struggles, sleepless nights, or just holding it together one hour at a time⌠I see you. I feel you. Iâm with you.
You are not alone.
You are doing a beautiful job.
And you are so, so loved.
Take a breath today. Let yourself be held, too.
Youâre doing sacred work, mama.
â Dana

Weâll explore gentle oral motor play, practical tips for feeding challenges, and space to ask all your questions.

We are pediatric occupational therapists offering our services through office visits, in-home and virtual/online consultations. Depending on your childâs specific needs, we are here to help you determine which option is best for you and your situation. Our #1 goal is to provide you with the tools needed to help you and your child overcome the daily struggles. We teach you how to help your little one meet milestones, tips and tricks to overcome feeding/eating/sleep/behavior difficulties, and strategies to promote learning through PLAY.
Not sure which service is best for you? Take a look below to see which option suits your lifestyle and needs best.
Are you a working mom with a busy schedule? Do you find it difficult to get your little one to therapy sessions each week due to the many curveballs life throws at you? If so, virtual/online consultations may be your best and most convenient option.
Do you have a new baby at home, and are you not quite ready to get out in public just yet? Would you prefer to have therapy in the comfort of your own home? If this sounds like this is more your speed, in-home consultations may be just what mama ordered.
Does your child need multiple services, including Speech and ABA therapy? Do you have the time and ability to get your kiddo to the clinic for therapy sessions each week? If this describes your situation, the team at Connecting Dots will be happy to assist you at the clinic. We are located in the same building as Blooming Potential, which offers ABA and Speech therapy, to provide a comprehensive, team approach to meeting your childâs needs.
