Oh to be small enough to be picked up. Want for a caregiver to pick me up and place me on their hip as they go throughout their day. Wanna curl my little fingers in their shirt and rest my head on their shoulder. Wanna be bounced and held and kept close and feel safe and loved.

Sometimes I close my eyes and pretend really really hard that someone’s here to pick me up and take care of me

slipping a fussy baby's pacifier between their lips, holding them close to me as a way to soothe the little one's upset whines :C

" there you go, baby, here's your paci, hm..? it's alright, sweet one, mommy's / daddy's here. "

to other closeted regressors:

one day we’ll be able to walk outside our rooms with our pacis, blankies, or even a cute little tail.

we’ll be able to have all the plastic plates, special bowls, or sippy cups / bottles we want in the cupboards.

we’ll be able to wear whatever we want, watch as much cartoons, and have coloring things all over the living room.

theres nothing wrong with regression and we’ll all be able to expressive ourselves freely sooner or later so please keep going!! :3

thinkin abt babyre … 💭

🍼 being bottle fed in a carer’s lap, slowly falling asleep while being rocked and hushed

🧸 soft toys and games like plush blocks, sensory pads, mobiles, tummy time, rattles, peekaboo, silly songs and lullabies

⭐️ being put down for a nap in a crib or in a bed with rails, getting back / belly pats and rubs

🍼 crying when carer isn’t around, always wanting to be picked up and held / carried

🧸 nonverbal cues (including crying) to communicate wants

⭐️ tickles, snuggles, and lots of laying down because sitting up isn’t a favorite just yet

🍼 being called names like “baby”, “honey”, “poor thing”, “little one”, “cutie”

🧸 onesies, booties, mittens, binkies, and bottles galore <3

Activities for newborn and small infant regressors (because all the activities posts are for older kiddos who can do more!)

Tummy time with toys! Even just touching/looking at your toys is fine :]

Swaddle yourself up real nice and tight in a blankie and maybe nap?? Or try and inch around like an inch worm that sounds really fun actually

Discover your limbs 🤯

Lay down on the floor or in bed and watch a low-sensory show or even stim videos

If you don't have a mobile, maybe watching your ceiling fan would be similar?!

Maybe if you need hand covers you could make some of your own! Like crochet or even sewing! You could also just put socks on your hands which is fun to do regardless

Maybe setting up a little activity mat beforehand! I've seen so many fun activities for babies that even I wanna try out, like slime in a zip lock bag that you could move around!

Perhaps try your hand at sitting... maybe even crawling......... but don't work too hard at it!! Babies need lots of rest you know!

Play "what is that thing?" Try and examine things more objectively, as opposed to what they are/what they do. How is it shaped? Is it similar to anything else? What color is it? Does it move or make noise? Etc. Maybe try and come up with other things it could do too! Or your own name for it?

Again tummy time is great and even I do it as a toddler/kid regressor. Focus on the texture! Are you laying on a rug? A carpet? Tile? Your blanket? What color is the surface, what texture is it? Does it smell like anything?

You could also play "name the color"! Look around at things and name the colors they are! This could be played two ways: coming up with new names for colors, or being as specific with the names as you can! Like "turquoise " as opposed to "green"! It makes you wrack your brain for color names just like you would be if you were learning them for the first time! Could also be played with animals or objects!
