from Decoded: The First Year · host drscl

Hey Mum.Let me guess… you put your baby on the floor for tummy time… and within about 90 seconds you’re wondering if you’re doing it right.Are they meant to be rolling by now?Should they be pushing up higher?Why does someone else’s baby look stronger already?Here’s what I want you to know.When your baby is on the floor… they’re not “just” doing tummy time.They’re not just filling in minutes before a nap.They’re practising something far more important than a milestone.I’m Dr SCL, dad, chiropractor and baby development whisperer, and today, we’re going to unpack what your baby is really wiring, building, and organising every time they move against gravity — and why this stage matters more than any checklist ever could.And I promise… once you see it through a nervous system lens, the pressure lifts.
