It's almost a universal law – the moment you get comfortable, your child senses it and decides it's the perfect time to need your undivided attention. It's like they have a sixth sense for comfy chairs. 🤪

Brachycephaly, scaphocephaly, plagiocephaly, oh my! What do the different head shapes look like? Can I do anything about my baby’s head flatness? What causes those different head shapes? Can I prevent any of these types of head flatness?

Say hello to Dr. Katie O’Neill, PT, DPT, our newest team member! We are so excited to have her on board with Year One Wellness serving Dripping Springs and SW Austin! Drop a 👋🏼 in the comments to welcome her.

Katie has 12 years of pediatric experience in a variety of settings treating ages 0-21 years. This experience ranges from developmental, neurological, oncology, and orthopedics.

Katie feels it is a sincere privilege to work with young babies and their families leading her to seek further specialization in this area including pursuing education to become a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist. Being able to guide, support and encourage families with their gift of a child is an honor and joy to her.

I think we all can relate somewhat. Parenthood is about learning, making mistakes, and committing to be better! 🫶🏻 🌱 We are all doing the best we can with the knowledge and resources we have.

The benefits of play don't stop with infancy; they extend throughout our lives. As adults, play remains a powerful tool for maintaining mental, emotional, and physical well-being. SWIPE to see why embracing play in adulthood is just as essential 🧠 🤓

Year One Wellness team of 5!

Hello there, curious parents! As an infant physical therapist, people ask me developmental questions all the time. SWIPE to gain new insights into your baby's incredible visual development during their first year of life. 👶🏻

Remember, every baby is unique, and these milestones are just rough guidelines. Some babies may reach them earlier or a bit later, and that's perfectly normal. Generally, by the age of 3 or 5 vision will be as clear as an adult's, but fully develops by age 10. As a parent, the most important thing you can do is to provide an enriching and stimulating environment that allows your baby's vision to flourish. 🌱

And you wouldn't have it any other way! But if you did...no one would blame you. Be compassionate towards yourself - parenting is a full-time job and takes a lot of hard work. I think you are doing great! 🥳

As parents, you've likely witnessed your little one's eyes light up during a game of peek-a-boo or heard their contagious giggles while playing with a favorite toy 🥰

This week I had the opportunity to present to the physical therapy community at the TPTA conference on “The Physical Therapist’s Role in Breastfeeding as a First Movement Milestone” and how PTs can work with lactation consultants to help families meet their feeding goals.

Movement improves breastfeeding success and breastfeeding helps promote motor development. It’s a beautiful cycle, but we know access to care is limited. Let’s help change that by increasing awareness to healthcare professionals!

Thank you to all the wonderful professionals who showed interest and engagement in our topic. We are still buzzing from the presentation!
