💚A ROUND OF APPLAUSE PLEASE!💚

We always give our babies a clap after each activity. Did you know that babies gain emotional satisfaction from clapping and patting games, which in turn develop listening skills, a sense of rhythm and hand extension, which is important for later crawling?

Clapping and patting exerts pressure on the palms of the hands, which builds muscle strength and endurance, and leads on to greater flexibility of the fingers and thumb.

⭐️ It’s “Sparkles” week at Baby Sensory this week with some gorgeous lights, sparkly pom-poms and reflective textures too!!
💛At Hello Baby Massage it’s “Chests and tummies” with some tips for tummy time, some wonderful animals and a lovely massage to help with colic and digestions!
🥁 I’ll have my shop table with me all week - it’s fully stocked with wave drums, shakers, bells, dance ribbons, books and puppets!!!! You can purchase things in cash or by bank transfer.

💚There has been so much rhythm in the room this week, moving, shaking and dancing to the bears of music from all the around the world.

💛Want to create healthy habits now?

💚As parents we only want what’s best for our baby or child. But sometimes that’s difficult when life is busy.

💛The more healthy habits we can create the better, because once things become a habit we are more likely to stick to them AND the more likely our babies and children are to copy them too.

💚It’s not just eating healthily that will support the development of our babies...there are lots of other things too.

💛Check out our latest blog to find out how you can best support the development of your baby and create healthy habits that last a lifetime: https://www.babysensory.com/brainfood

💚A wonderful start to our Baby Sensory Summer Term this week, it was a delight to welcome so many new faces! There were some absolutely magical moments - tinies smiling at the smell of lavender in their sleep, first wobbly steps (eek!) and the Thursday 10am bringing me to tears with their reaction to the puppet show! 🌷
💛Over at Hello Baby our newborns enjoyed their first massage and yoga session and got their first glimpse of the joy that is bubbles!!🫧
💚On Fridays we do “Photo Friday!” If you have any photos you would like to share… maybe of your baby on the “First Class” backdrop or enjoying one of the activities I would love to see them! You can add to the thread on Facebook or tag me in your Instagram story.

06/06/2024

💚Do you love singing to your baby? Even if you (like me) aren’t the worlds best singer, they LOVE it when you sing to them!

💛Whatever yours or your baby’s favourite song is, songs and rhymes provide a powerful sensory experience so it’s never too early or too late to introduce them.

💚Even though your baby may not understand the words you are singing they will pay attention to the sounds, actions & facial gestures. As they get older they will love the familiarity of these songs and will be happy to hear them.

💛Listening to and interacting in songs and rhymes also encourages babies and toddlers to:

• Learn new words

• Develop listening skills

• Feel the rhythm of a particular song

• Recognise repeated sound patterns

• Improve memory

• Release stress and tension

• Match movements to music

• Maintain attention and concentration

💚What’s your baby’s favourite song???

💛Someone was sad to Wave Goodbye!!!!! 😢
💚What a week!!! Our Spring Term finished in style with a Baby Party! Jelly was wobbled, musical statues was a great hit, we all loved a Disney disco and many goodbye tears were shed.
💛Thanks to everyone for joining me, a very big goodbye to all my graduates and thanks for my lovely leaving gifts which I really don’t expect but am always hugely touched by. (If you gave me something and can’t see it in the collage, it’s already been eaten or drunk and was delicious!!!!!)
💚I’d love to see any photos you took, you know what to do!!
💛I’m off for the next week but will be popping up on here from time to time and look forward to seeing lots of you from 3 June as our Summer Term kicks off!!!

🎂 How amazing is this Baby Sensory themed cake that one of my families had to celebrate their baby’s first birthday a couple of weeks ago!!!
🎂 have done a wonderful job and I hear it tasted as good as it looks!
🎂 Thanks Amie and Amelia for sharing your photo with me, I’m so happy that Baby Sensory was the go-to for a cake choice!!!

20/05/2024

💛Please don’t worry if you don’t immediately bond with your baby. This is totally normal for many parents.

💚Bonding can happen in many ways and at many different times.

💛There is no evidence that bonding begins at birth. Parent-baby bonding is extremely complicated and there are many reasons why relationships take time to grow and develop.

💚For some parents, the first smile is when they fall in love with their baby for the first time.

💛For others, strong affection develops when they find out what makes their baby feel happy and secure.

💚Some parents feel closer to their baby once a regular routine & sleeping pattern is established.

💛And sometimes, the depth of love and feeling grows when a baby becomes more amenable, sociable or mobile.

💚Like any relationship, emotional ties take time to grow and develop.

💛And there is plenty of research to suggest that parents separated from their babies soon after the birth, parents who don’t bond straight away or parents who adopt babies much later, can still develop enormously close, loving relationships too.

❤️Hit like if this has reassured you.

19/05/2024

💚 It’s a “Baby Party” this week to round off our Spring Term. Your babies are going to be playing party games, enjoying a (pretend) party tea and having a boogie at our party disco.
💛Hopefully that will distract us all from some sad goodbyes that I’ll have to do. Graduation props will be with me all week and so will the pop-up shop in case you want to take any sensory props home with you.
💚Hello Baby babies have their workshop week this week where we will be talking all things Crying and Colic. And cake!

18/05/2024

💚In my house it would definitely be #3. I was never going to be that mum that cooked 4 different teas every night….. but turns out I am, in fact, her!!!!
💛Which would you choose??

14/05/2024

Babies need to be on their tummies in order to go through the fundamental movement patterns (for example, raising the head, creeping, and crawling), which stimulate both sides of the brain.

So much so that In 2020, The World Health Organisation recommended that non-mobile babies should spend at least 30 minutes on their tummies, spread throughout the day when awake.

If you’re the parent of a new baby that might be easier said than done! Some babies love tummy time, whilst others aren’t so keen and take a while to get used to it.

Here are some activities you can try, to encourage your baby to enjoy tummy time more:

1. Place a safety mirror or favourite toy a few inches from your baby’s head and call their attention to it. Your baby will lift their head and reach out in different directions, which develops the muscles needed for rolling over.

2. Place your baby on a colourful quilt with squeaky toys attached. Remove your baby’s socks so he can get good traction on the play mat.

3. One of the best strategies is to keep your baby company on the floor. Coo, sing or make funny sounds to encourage them to lift their head.

4. Lie on your back and place your baby face down on your chest. Call his or her name to encourage them to raise their head to get a better look at you.

5. Place a rolled-up towel under your baby’s chest. This supported position allows your baby to lift their head & look around and improves focus.

6. Put your baby on his tummy over a large ball and hold them firmly while you gently rock the ball back and forth. Your baby will learn to shift their body weight, which improves balance and coordination.
