21.01.2022 Hip Dysplasia Struggling for clothing for your little one in a harness or hip spica?? I always find that parents find clothing to be one of the trickiest things for their kids with hip dysplasia and can be just one other stress at a tricky time. If your struggling with larger onsie sizes or your harem pants then these might be a good option for you and they have the healthy hips Australia tick of approval. ... Thanks Em for the find! @hipsleepers_hipdysplasia_shop #healthyhips #hipdysplasia #hipdysplasiaawareness #charity #spicacast #pavlikharness #rhinobrace #baby #newborn #firstborn #babygirl #familyhistory #breechbaby #swaddle

21.01.2022 Amazing slide by Lynn Jenson on a lecture on Cerebral Palsy by the Australian Physiotherapy Association A typical child walks on average 9000 steps per day when practicing the skill of walking Really puts into perspective how much practice drives motor learning ... Also helps to drive what we need to do for rehabilitation when the brain has an insult. All that we know about brain neuroplasticity and typical development shows us variability and novel input is the key!! Think about how many different contexts and surfaces (carpet, wooden floors, grass, inclinations, undulating surfaces, obstacles) your typically developing child would come across in their every day This is what we need to facilitate for rehab!! #cerebralpalsy #typicaldevelopment #kidsdevelopment #kidstherapy #motorlearning #motorskill #neuroplasticity #rehab #rehabilitation #geneticcondition #variabilityofpractice

17.01.2022 Thank you to Geoff @kitchens_galore for your amazing work on making our kitchenette, bathroom cupboards and reception desk! @functional_lungs #localbusiness #illawarrabusinesscommunity #wollongongbusiness

17.01.2022 Love this from @learnandbloom Such a beautiful idea to be able to alternate toys you can find in your home to stimulate your little one to reach and kick This also starts to develop the idea of 'cause and effect' whereby your child does something ie hit the toy and the receive a pleasant reward is the different texture they touch or the different noise they hear. ... This is also a great activity to do in sidelying when your little one is still developing the strength to reach overhead #reaching #kidsactivity #babyparents #mummyblog #hometherapy #newborn #3months #4months #3monthsold #4monthsold #babykicks

11.01.2022 R U OK?? Had some help from some little friends yesterday to ask the question. So glad to see there's so many people checking in... #mentalhealth #everyonesbusiness #ruok

09.01.2022 8 months Now this has to be my favourite toy! Whats more enticing than a magnetic toy with continuous moving pieces, one that makes music and one you can bang parts together or put them in your mouth But I find this toy great to use at this age while your little one is developing mentally and requires toys of slightly more complexity to motivate them. Great motivator for practicing lying to sitting transitions and encouraging commando crawling and crawling!! #8months #8monthsold #eightmonthsold #commandocrawling #crawling #babysitting #babyprogress #mummablog #mumblog #babyparents #favouritetoys #music

08.01.2022 NICU awareness month I thought in the heart of NICU awareness month I would share over the next few weeks some of the videos our team has made in the special care nursery to help families.. For those Mums/Dad's/Carers and loved ones wanting to know how to help mimic the environment your little premmie would have been in your tummy - here is a little video depicting what the role of Nesting is in the Special Care Nursery or NICU... #premmie #prematurebaby #mypremmiebaby #specialcare #specialcarenursery #nesting #positioning

05.01.2022 Beautiful update from one of our clients Mums! Amazing to hear how well little Maksim is doing @master_maksim_1 His Mum focused on floor play, avoided walkers and created amazing opportunities to develop Maksim's problem solving through play.... As a result he was rolling from 4 months and commando crawling at 6 months . Now this is very advanced but hopefully gives you some great ideas to motivate your little one! Check this amazing idea for progressing reaching on your child's tummy and stimulating commando crawling. #amazingmums #creativeparents #mumblogger #hometherapy #therapyideas #commandocrawling #crawling #4monthsold #5monthsold #6months #7months #8months #9months #tummytime #sensoryplay #floorplay #smartkids #creativeplay

04.01.2022 9 months!! Time to introduce some more complex toys and toys where your child can learn to use both hands together in play Use items in your home to hide different toys inside For instance you can use toothbrush holders and beads and watch how your little ones' brain works to find them and seperate the pieces! #9monthsold #9months #mumblog #mumblogger #indoorplay #playideas #infants #twohands #duplo #beads #bimanual #toys #babytoys

03.01.2022 Finding that your little one is more interested in working out how your household goods work than the special expensive toy you got as a gift?? Look at this amazing idea from Maksim's Mum. Great way to stimulate your little one cognitively and with their fine motor skills. Entertainment for hours!! @master_maksim_1 ... #mummyblog #hometherapy #kidstherapy #cognitivedevelopment #finemotorskills #finemotoractivity #tummytimeactivities #toysinthehome #functionalplay #kidsandlocks

01.01.2022 We all know the famous saying 'You are what you eat' now the more I work with children the more I am realising that's the case. Interesting article released analysing the diet of >78,000 pregnancies in Norway and looking at those with mild to moderate iodine deficiency. Now we know that iodine deficiency has long term neurocognitive developmental outcomes and we also know that idodine deficiency is becoming ever more prevalent despite salt idiodisation strategies recommended ...by the World Health Organisation. This study found outcomes such as reduced foetal growth, an increased risk of preterm delivery and an extension of the time taken to fall pregnant in those with mild to moderate iodine deficiency #iodine #iodinedeficiency #diet #congitiveoutcomes #developingkids #kidsdevelopment
