Hi, I’m Amanda — pediatric occupational therapist 👋 OT tip: don’t underestimate this. Those cheek kisses? They’re doing more than you think. When you kiss your baby’s cheeks, you’re providing: • Oral-facial sensory input • Body awareness • Social engagement • Early communication foundations • Nervous system regulation That gentle squeeze kiss gives deep pressure input that helps babies feel safe in their bodies. And when babies feel safe… they learn. Development isn’t always fancy toys or miles
