Bringing home a new baby is an incredible journey filled with excitement, questions, and plenty of choices. As a pediatric occupational therapist, I’ve seen firsthand how the right tools and guidance can make life easier for both parents and infants. That’s why I created this Nurturing Beginnings Gift Guide, packed with expert-vetted items supporting your baby’s development through the early months.
What You’ll Find Inside
- Easy-to-Use Feeding Essentials: From pacifiers that encourage a natural latch to non-valve straw cups that promote oral motor skills, discover products that make mealtime a positive experience for you and your baby.
- Developmental Milestones & Toys: Curious about tummy time mirrors or high-contrast cards? Learn how simple items can nurture sensory-motor growth, encourage exploration, and make playtime more meaningful.
- Practical Gear & Soothing Spaces: Explore the benefit of bassinets in strollers, adjustable high chairs, and carriers that encourage optimal posture, reducing fussiness and supporting healthy movement.
- Expert Tips & Tricks: With every recommendation, I’ve included pro tips on how to introduce items, practice tummy time, or help your baby get the most out of each new product.
