free those toesies!

Nov 17

nothing has been more satisfying to me than watching my son grow into himself naturally - mind body and spirit! when we first began dressing him, I started realizing how many baby clothes and shoes aren’t necessarily made with their structural development in mind. mainly just for cute. hehe so we avoided onesies with booties attached, any shoes and socks, and swaddles. (while some babies may find comfort in a swaddle, it definitely isn’t “womb-like” like we’re told it is.) and to free their little toesies, I believe, is one of the best things we can do for them at this age! for the obvious structural benefits, but also for proper motor development and spacial awareness as they learn how their skin even moves against things.

we also avoided any baby containers for this same reason! as those have been connected to improper movement and/or delayed physical development. instead of giving him a seat to sit up in, we waited until he was ready to do so himself. and instead of giving him a walker, we waited for him to walk himself. and we were amazed at how much quicker these skills seem to come if let to discover them on their own. all part of Perfect Design! they were made to intuitively know when they’re ready and how to do so.

basically - LESS IS MORE. :) let our babies be free in every way! remaining in their original form and design.

and as adults, this is also important! I think most of our feet are now shoe-shaped instead of foot-shaped, due to the shoes most of us grew up wearing. thankfully we can wear some stylish toe separators to help restore the natural shape of our feet! (which has been also linked to lower pain within the rest of our bodies, specifically our backs, since everything. is. connected.) I wear mine during the evenings and they are actually so comfortable and satisfying to watch work haha

here are some great “barefoot” shoe options for babies and into adulthood to help maintain this original shape!
