🎹 ONE toy. SIX stages. Zero new purchases.

Before you buy another baby gadget — that Kick & Play Piano can grow with your baby from their very first kicks all the way to sitting. As a paediatric physio, here’s how I’d use it at every stage 👇

1️⃣ Newborn — piano at the feet, every kick lights a key and teaches “I did that!”
2️⃣ Tummy time — flip it upright so baby looks up and lifts their head
3️⃣ Side-lying — piano in front to bring both hands to midline
4️⃣ Elevated tummy time — prop baby’s chest up to make head-lifting easier
5️⃣ Rolling — pop it to one side, just out of reach, to spark that first roll
6️⃣ Supported sitting — reaching for the keys builds core, balance & posture

The secret isn’t the toy — it’s how you position your baby with it. 💡

The baby world has SO much outdated advice floating around and honestly… some of it drives me insane 🫠

Not because parents are doing anything wrong — parents are doing their absolute best with the information they’re given.

But we now know SO much more about:
🤍 infant nervous systems
🤍 movement development
🤍 feeding
🤍 body tension
🤍 sensory processing
🤍 head shape
🤍 co-regulation
🤍 motor learning

And instead of brushing concerns off with:
“they’ll grow out of it”
or
“just keep trying”

…I want parents to actually feel supported with practical strategies that help babies FEEL GOOD in their bodies.

Because babies deserve more than just surviving the first year 🤍

With so many new faces here, I thought I’d properly introduce myself and what this page and approach is all about 🤍

I’m Tamara — paediatric physiotherapist, founder of Storybook Physiotherapy, and someone completely fascinated by how much the earliest months of life shape the future.

The more children I worked with over the years… the more I realised so many challenges we see later — movement difficulties, regulation struggles, focus, posture, coordination, body awareness — often have clues that started right at the beginning.

And that’s where my passion completely shifted.

Not just milestones.
Not just tummy time.
But helping babies feel SAFE in their bodies.

Because babies learn through movement, connection, sensory experiences, regulation, feeding, breathing, and interaction with the world around them.

The early months are such a powerful window for nervous system development and brain plasticity. We have such an incredible opportunity during this time to gently support babies toward calmer movement patterns, better regulation, stronger foundations, and deeper connection with their caregivers.

I don’t accept “colic” as simply a diagnosis without asking WHY.
I believe babies communicate through their bodies.
And I’m passionate about helping families uncover what their baby may be trying to tell us.

This field has absolutely captured my heart and continues to shape the direction I’m growing toward every day.

And honestly… we’re only just getting started ✨

Save this if this resonates with you 🤍
And tell me below — what’s been the biggest challenge in your baby journey so far?

Reflux mums… are you doing laundry olympics daily?

Spit up after spit up… outfit changes on repeat… it’s exhausting.

But reflux doesn’t mean avoiding floor time — it just means having the right setup.

The .tots luxe cotton, waterproof mat makes life so much easier.
Wipe it clean in seconds, protect your floors, and keep your baby comfortable and supported for tummy time and play.

Because your baby still needs to move, explore, and develop — even with reflux 🤍

Plus the black and white contrast supports visual tracking, attention, and early development 🩷

Want less mess and more play? You need this.

Save this for later + send to a mum who needs this 🤍
