Episode Synopsis

In this episode of The POPPED Podcast, Dr. Emily Muery shares the most overlooked (and totally free) tool for supporting your baby’s development: floor time. From reflex integration to sensory exploration, she explains why giving babies space to move on their own terms is essential for brain-body development — and how modern parenting culture often complicates what should be simple.You’ll learn how movement wires the brain, what actually happens in baby gear like bouncers and loungers, and why floor time builds more than muscles — it builds focus, coordination, and confidence. Dr. Emily also debunks the myth that parents need to entertain their baby 24/7 and reframes independent play as a powerful step toward healthy development.Whether you’re a new parent or a seasoned one, this episode will help you feel empowered, not overwhelmed — and remind you that the floor is enough.#ThePoppedPodcast #BirthEducation #BabyLedBirth #LaborAndDelivery #ChiropracticForPregnancy #PregnancyPodcast #DoulaSupport #BirthWorkerLife #ExpectingMoms #BirthPrep #prenatalchiropractor #independentplay #tummytime #babydevelopment #childdevelopmentThis episode is sponsored by The Final PunctuationVisit thefinalpunctuation.com
