Decoded: The First Year | Episode 36 | TLR: How Your Baby Learns to Move Against the World | Dr SCL

If you’ve ever looked at your baby during tummy time… and thought,“Why does this feel harder for them than it should?”Or maybe you’ve noticed moments where their body feels a little too stiff… or a little too floppy…And you’ve wondered — quietly —“Am I missing something?”Let me reassure you right from the start:You’re not missing anything.What you’re seeing… makes complete sense when we look through a nervous system lens.Today, we’re continuing this conversation around primitive reflexes — these hidden drivers of early development — and we’re focusing on one of the most important… and most overlooked.The reflex that teaches your baby how to work with gravity… not against it.Because before a baby can roll…before they can crawl…before they can sit…They have to learn how to organise their body in a world that is constantly pulling them down.
