When your baby can both independently roll from back to tummy and pivot in a circle in the prone position, this is a lovely little activity to bridge the way toward belly crawling. Place some motivating toys just outside your baby’s reach. When your baby reaches forward for the toy, the movement creates tiny cross-body movements, even if they still do not manage to move forward yet. Your baby is building new pathways toward belly crawling because the movement is being planned and imagined. This

Pivoting is the movement a baby makes around its own axis. The milestone of pivoting occurs after rolling from back to belly. Most babies have started pivoting by six months. Try inviting your baby to pivot, as it contributes to good motor support leading up to crawling. In the pivoting movement, the important ability for cross-coordination (using the right and left brain hemispheres alternately), is strengthened. Have fun playing! With love, Maria ❤️ (Your pediatric physical therapist from Denm

At around 5-6 months, try placing toys in a circle or semicircle around the baby on the belly. This encourages a mini milestone called pivoting in addition to some cognitive skills such as learning to make a choice, and putting in some effort/work to achieve a goal (usually the goal is to get a toy to their mouth or bang on something!). The pivots will strengthen the arms, shoulders, spinal rotators, neck, and core in addition to weight shifting that needs to be learned. What does this mean? Piv

When your baby is rolling, pivoting, and belly crawling, the next important milestone is, of course, crawling on all fours. A great way to help your baby achieve a strong crawling phase is to give them the experience of standing on hands and knees. When your baby is lying on their belly with arms stretched, gently follow the steps demonstrated in this video to help them into the crawling position. Then, slowly rock back and forth to give your baby the feed back of weight bearing on hands and kne

So sweet – and so clever! Pivoting is great prep for crawling because it helps baby practice cross-body movements and strengthen the muscles needed to move forward. The first step is actually pretty simple: just support your baby in turning their head both ways… That Brio train is brilliant for it! Big thanks to the creative mom who sent me this video! 🙌🏻 Choo choo! 🚂 With love, Maria ♥️ (Your pediatric physical therapist from Denmark 🇩🇰) ❗️For any usage request, please email maria@develoba
