Every child is a gift from God, and every life is worth celebrating. 🤍

This Dobbs Day, Wednesday, June 24th, we are giving away FREE ice cream to pregnant mothers and children 12 and under in celebration of every child and every life.

We’re also honored to partner with Living Alternatives, a local ministry committed to protecting the unborn, educating parents, and providing resources for women and families facing pregnancy-related needs. Their mission is to promote a culture of life for women, children, and families while sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with all who enter their doors.

All other proceeds from the day will be donated to support their work in our community.

Join us on June 24 as we celebrate life together. ❤️

🧠 Primitive Reflex Spotlight: Palmar Grasp Reflex

This reflex causes babies to automatically close their hand around an object placed in their palm.

It’s an early bonding + survival reflex.

When active, it supports early motor development and coordination.

When not overactive or underactive, it may show up alongside:
• Increased tension in feeding posture
• Difficulty relaxing during feeds
• General body stiffness or disorganization

Feeding works best when the body can relax into it. 🤍

Feeding is not just a digestive process.

It’s a nervous system experience.

If baby is tense, overstimulated, or disorganized, feeding often reflects that.

This is why we don’t just look at milk transfer—we look at regulation, comfort, and coordination together.

Everything is connected. 🤍

Feeding challenges don’t just affect feeding.

They affect how you feel in your body.
How you feel as a mom.
How you feel when you walk into a room with your baby.

It can feel isolating in a way people don’t always see.

But you don’t have to carry that alone. 🤍

🧠 Primitive Reflex Spotlight: Moro (Startle) Reflex

This reflex is a baby’s early “alarm system.”

It causes sudden flinging of arms or body reactions in response to noise, movement, or sensation.

When active, it helps with early survival responses.

When it remains overactive or underactive, families may notice:
• Frequent startle during feeds
• Difficulty staying latched
• Arching or pulling away at the breast
• Disrupted feeding rhythm

Calm regulation is a big part of successful feeding. 🤍

One of the hardest parts of early feeding isn’t just the feeding itself…

It’s the doubt that comes with it.

“Is my baby getting enough?”
“Is this normal?”
“Should it feel this hard?”

These questions are incredibly common—and they don’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.

They mean you’re paying attention.

And that matters. 🤍

You are not supposed to automatically know how to do this.

You are learning your baby.
Your baby is learning you.

And sometimes that learning process needs support—and that’s okay.

You don’t have to struggle silently to be a good mom. 🤍
