I have read a lot of developmental books throughout my career... A LOT! When I became certified as an Infant Massage Instructor, I was introduced to Vimala McClure's work. So needless to say, I especially enjoy her book Infant Massage A Handbook for Loving Parents not only because it walks you through the strokes for Infant Massage, but she comforts you as a parent to stay true to yourself and your baby. She encourages you to make decisions that make you feel like a good parent, instead of simply going with what your parents tell you or with the current cultural flow. I highly recommend her BOOK!

Your baby is simply not “growing out of an issue”. Bodywork for Babies can find answers waiting to be discovered in the body. Pediatric and Baby bodywork releases structural tensions, helping your baby’s readiness for all the jobs awaiting for development. It can help with your baby’s fussiness, mis-shapened head, muscle tension, head-turning preference, torticollis, and body asymmetries. It can even help with tongue-tie restrictions, reflux, and difficulty with feeding, bringing back the joy of motherhood. https://www.thurnerpt.com/about-jenny-thurner-pediatric-infant-physical-therapist-valparaiso daily 0.75 2025-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606bad967c209d675c7c0fad/46868997-b29b-4b86-bbf5-b0f83e62f2b3/jenny-thurner-pediatric-physical-therapist-valparaiso-indiana.jpeg About - Hi, I’m Jenny Thurner! I’m a trained pediatric physical therapist specializing in bodywork here in Valparaiso, IN to bring you hope in knowing you have other options than “wait and see” when it comes to your child’s development and mobility. Working with kids brings me so much joy and I love seeing how well they respond to treatment. Here are some examples of how my work has helped my clients: helped them sleep through the night, feed better, achieve symmetrical body posture and alignment, meet the next motor milestone (yay crawling!), and balanced their nervous system so they can play and move with ease. https://www.thurnerpt.com/resources daily 0.75 2024-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606bad967c209d675c7c0fad/1618241890704-GUAUJJWBDYP232QUO923/Book+Cover+jpeg.jpg Resources Jenny Thurner is a pediatric physical therapist who focuses on the whole child and overall development starting with foundational habits during infancy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606bad967c209d675c7c0fad/6f024cac-8b15-4b14-a4d2-c9beb973e7a3/9780785241065.jpeg Resources Dr. Sheila Kilbane is an integrative pediatrician who shares a 7-step process that can begin to heal your child's chronic illness from the inside out.

I have compiled what I feel are healthy baby habits every baby should experience consistently in the first year of life. These are just that: habits. Embedding them in your daily routines will start to feel natural, and you will feel empowered that you are giving your baby what she needs. Habits take time to create, but these habits are going to help your baby start with a foundation to set her up for optimal development. This book is laid out to give parents 12 Healthy Baby Habits to start implementing right away. Each habit gives the "why" it is important in development and "why" you should care. The next section, Baby Extras, focuses on other areas of development to be aware of as your baby grows and provides prevention methods for common problems that are more prevalent with infants. The following section, Let's Play provides fun ways to engage with your baby. These sections are broken down into 3-month increments. A compilation of simple ideas to choose from with minimal set up and supplies is provided. https://www.thurnerpt.com/services-infant-physical-therapy daily 0.75 2025-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606bad967c209d675c7c0fad/c8f11855-2474-4ea1-b22d-9ff72dd58a08/jenny-thurner-valpo-therapy-kids-torticollis.jpg Services Torticollis with restricted trunk movements https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606bad967c209d675c7c0fad/95d47a41-6596-4e10-97dd-cb26b0b321fc/DSC_0137.jpg Services - Our children develop through movement and touch. When an infant has a restriction in their movement, obvious or not, they might struggle in their development.
