@occupationalemily: Hi there, I’m Emily! 👋🏻 A pediatric occupational therapist and a mom of twins. When I’m not momming or working with other peoples’ kids, I spend my time creating content to help parents navigate the sea of misinformation on how to care for your littles. If you’re new here, I’d love for you to follow along! Why do I share this ❌to shame exhausted parents who use weighted products ✅to empower parents with information they may not have access to otherwise 👶🏼👶🏼As a mom of twins, I understand the exhaustion of the early days of parenting. There are many, many products available that claim to help infants sleep longer and more soundly. Unfortunately, products may claim this without evidence that it is true. 👶🏼In tiny babies, the ability to rouse from sleep in response to stimuli is important and protective against SIDS. I know, you are SO desperate for sleep. But babies are biologically designed to wake up throughout the night. This is nothing that you or they are doing wrong. ❤️ Looking for safe alternatives? Hit that follow button for my next reel on the swaddles that I used with my twins. #pedsot #childdevelopment #newbaby #weightedsleepsack #dreamlandsleepsack #nestedbeansleepsack
