Last Stop on Market Street may look like a simple story about a bus ride, but it’s actually one of the richest Theory of Mind read-alouds for young children.

CJ notices what he doesn’t have. Nana helps him notice beauty, purpose, community, and abundance instead.

That constant shift in perspective is exactly what helps children build empathy, emotional reasoning, and deeper comprehension.

TMJ pain is something many adults know all too well, and it can be incredibly uncomfortable.

What’s important to understand is that jaw structure and function develop over time. The way the face grows in childhood can influence how the jaw joint functions later in life.

Supporting optimal facial growth early isn’t just about today, it’s about long-term comfort and health.

Save this post as a reminder that early development matters long-term.

A tight frenulum (tongue tie or lip tie) doesn’t automatically mean there’s a problem.

What matters most is function, how baby feeds, how the tongue moves, and whether symptoms are present. Many babies have anatomical differences that don’t impact feeding at all.

We always want to treat the whole picture, not just what we see.

Save this post if you’ve been told your baby has a tie and aren’t sure what it means.

Pediatric feeding disorders like ARFID are often misunderstood. What may look like “picky eating” from the outside can actually be a complex medical and developmental condition.

These families are navigating feeding challenges that often require a full team, medical, therapeutic, and emotional support.

A little more understanding and a lot less judgment can go a long way.

If your baby is gaining weight, having enough wet diapers, and feeding comfortably, those are the markers that matter.

It’s easy to get pulled into numbers, ounces, and comparisons, but those don’t define your success.

Your feeding journey is valid exactly as it is.

Save this post as a reminder to trust your baby and your body.

When feeding challenges begin, they can quickly build on each other, pain, poor transfer, supply concerns, and frustration.

Early, targeted support can help prevent that “snowball” effect. Addressing latch, positioning, and function early on protects both comfort and milk supply.

Small adjustments early can change the entire trajectory of feeding.

Save this post if you’re in the early stages of your feeding journey.

Lip taping has become really popular lately, especially as more people focus on sleep and nasal breathing.

It can be a helpful tool in some cases, but it’s not a solution by itself. If there’s an underlying reason for open-mouth posture, we still need to understand the “why.”

Support without understanding the cause can only go so far.

Save this post if you’ve been curious about lip taping and want a balanced perspective.

I still see this come up often, “orofacial myofunctional disorders aren’t real” or “there’s no evidence behind them.”

But OMDs are recognized within our field and are supported by research and clinical practice guidelines. Organizations like ASHA even have dedicated resources outlining assessment and treatment considerations.

This isn’t about trends or tools. It’s about understanding how oral muscle patterns impact breathing, feeding, speech, and development.

Save this post if you’ve heard conflicting information about OMDs.

Purees can be a great starting point. The concern is when children stay on them too long without progressing.

As babies grow, they need exposure to thicker textures and foods that require chewing. This is how jaw strength, coordination, and oral skills develop.

It’s not about avoiding purees, it’s about moving beyond them.

Save this post to remind yourself to gradually advance textures.

Donor human milk exists to support babies and families during times of medical need, loss, or feeding challenges.

Milk banks follow strict screening, handling, and pasteurization standards to ensure safety and equity.

This isn’t a trend, it’s a vital healthcare resource.

Save this post if you didn’t realize how regulated and important donor milk truly is.
