Sensory is about feet too! This sweet girl is kicking her jingle bell sensory bag. She loves when the bells ring!

My sweet buddy squishing his gel and glitter sensory bag. This kept him busy for 20 minutes. He’s such a darling.

Made some sensory bags for my 3.5 month old nanny baby today. I handed her the one with bells and she belly laughed for the first time - cutest thing ever!

I helped a new family recently sleep train their 6 month old sweetheart of a daughter. My first request was for them to walk me through their typical bedtime routine.
When we walked in the nursery the crib was filled with blankets, a pillow, and stuffed animals. I quickly explained how unsafe that was, and both parents removed everything and appreciated the info.

Let’s remember, and remind others with babies of safe crib/sleep procedures.
NOTHING IN THE CRIB - not even a bumper
Firm mattress with secured sheet
Baby in swaddle, sleep sac, or just warm pajamas.
Baby placed on their back
Comfortable temperature in room (68-72 degrees)

Bonus items to help promote sleep:
Sound machine
Dark curtains
Baby monitor
Pacifier (not attached to a stuffed animal)

And don’t forget the sleepy baby ♥️
