Comment "BABY MASSAGE" for the therapist-approved article on doing Massage+ 30, 10, 5 to Baby!

Massage+ 30, 10, 5 is a quick and effective baby massage method designed to support both premature and full-term infants.

➡️ This 15-minute routine involves talking, massaging, and rocking to help babies grow, bond with caregivers, and develop essential sensory and feeding skills.

Family Connects nurses visit families around three weeks after birth — right when those little questions (and big feelings) start to pop up. 💬
Whether it’s feeding, sleeping, or just adjusting to parenthood, we’re here to help you feel confident.
✅ Local nurses

Baby will probably cry when they first do Tummy Time – and that's okay! Watch the video to learn more about why Baby might be crying and ways to adjust for Baby.

Meet the Peña Family! 💙 We’re excited to share the story of the Peña family, who recently welcomed a new baby and connected with our Family Connects nurse, Jannet. Through their visit, they learned about newborn care, local resources, and ways to support their baby’s healthy start. Family Connects is a free program that provides nurse home visits for families with newborns—helping parents feel confident, supported, and connected to community resources during those first few weeks at home. Stay tuned as we share more about the Peña family’s experience and the ways Family Connects helps parents thrive! 👶🏡💛

Walking is a significant motor milestone for Baby! 👶 Not only is it essential for physical development, but it also gives your child independence and access to new environments.

Baby's first steps are usually around their first birthday. If they have not taken steps by 15 months, contact their healthcare provider to learn more about walking.
