April is Occupational Therapy Month š¤
And if thereās one thing I wish more people understood, itās thisā
Occupational therapy isnāt just about milestonesā¦
Itās about connection.
Itās about helping a baby feel safe enough to feed.
Itās about supporting a parent when everything feels overwhelming.
Itās about understanding that regulation comes before everything else.
I love the unique lens I have as an OT and IBCLC. I get to walk alongside families during some of their most vulnerable momentsāfeeding challenges, uncomfortable little bodies, dysregulation, and everything in between.
And what Iāve learned over and over again is this:
When we support the nervous system, everything else begins to fall into place.
Grateful to do this work.
Grateful for the families who trust me with their babies š¤
