Decoded: The First Year | Episode 27 | Why Crawling Still Matters — Even If the Charts Say It Doesn’t | Dr SCL

Crawling has been deemed to be optional.Not in biology.Not in neurology.But on paper.And that should make us pause — not panic — but really pause.Because when something fundamental disappears from the conversation,it doesn’t mean it stopped being important.It usually means we stopped knowing how to explain it.Today, we’re going to decode crawling and “walk” through the bridge that connects being horizontal (ie crawling) to being vertical (ie walking) —what it actually builds in the nervous system within this bridge,why so many babies now skip the bridge,and what it really means if your baby does… or doesn’t.
