6 Baby Reflexes to KnowBenefits & Tips of the Side Lying Position for BabyThe Importance of Crawling for Baby

Why a baby might need physical therapy.

Baby physical therapy (PT) helps infants develop strength, movement, and balance through play-based activities, addressing delays from issues like torticollis or prematurity, and teaching parents ways to support milestones like rolling, sitting, and crawling for optimal development. It's crucial for addressing muscle stiffness, low tone, or poor head control, focusing on early intervention for the best results, often involving gentle exercises, positioning, and parent coaching. 

Tummy Time

Tummy time involves placing awake babies on their stomachs for short, supervised periods to build essential neck, shoulder, and core strength for milestones like rolling and crawling, and to prevent flat spots on the head, starting from a couple of days old with just a few minutes at a time, gradually increasing duration as they get stronger, and always ensuring they are awake and on a firm surface.
