    Emma, I am currently in hospital with my 4 month baby waiting for a liver transplant. His belly is very distended as is normal for his condition. It can get in the way of achieving milestones. He was evaluated by the OT and physiotherapist and they were shocked with how well he could do tummy time. Now we are working on sitting and he’s doing really well with that too. I really want to thank you. Following your advice got us working on these skills early before the ascites could stop him. So now despite it, he is still meeting milestones. He just can no longer roll over. Thank you so much for helping us get ahead of the problem and keeping him enriched.

    I have been following you and working on my lil munchkin to help him sit. As ever since he learnt to hold his head up, he refuses to lie down and wants to stand all the time. He even tries to walk, obviously with support. But wanted to teach him to sit before standing and walking. Today he is 5 months and 7 days, and he sat on his own for the first time.😍

    OMG EMMA! We have been doing all your exercises since birth and all my baby’s milestones were achieved very early. A few hours ago, he surprised us by transitioning from being on all fours to sitting on his own. I was very shocked. He just turned 5 months 🥰 I had to capture it on video or no one would believe me.

However if I attempt to sit him up b/w my legs he has a tendency to want to slide himself down on his back. Why would that be? Is there away to encourage him to sit up a little longer. Could it be that he is tired?

    Sitting them up seems to be a cultural Thing. I was told repetedly from pediatricians, midwives, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, nurses... Not to sit them up at all, they will do that on their own if their muscles are strong enough. Same with walking btw. Some said that sitting them up early slows the gros Motor develompment and increases the risk of not crawling. There is a huge emphasis on crawling here.

      Hey @Pri USA great video idea. I will try to do this soon. I do find bottles that have a straw which has a weight on the end the best for babies. These tend to have handles on the side too. The benefit of the weight on the end of the straw (the part in the water) is that it ensures the little one is always able to suck water up no matter how they are holding/tipping the bottle.

    • @daniellegreig489
      @daniellegreig489 7 місяців тому

      From a Google search for paediatric occupational therapist:
      Occupational therapists working in paediatrics: Help children achieve their developmental milestones such as fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination to help with play, school or independent skills (e.g. throwing a ball, getting dressed, holding a pen or utensil).
      In Australia, it's typically a four year degree at university then additional training is likely undertaken to specialise in paediatrics.

    Hello Emma. In Czech republic general reccomendations of pediatricians and physiotherapists are NEVER to teach children to sit up with help. They should sit up without any help when they are ready. It is said that premature sitting can badly influence development of spinal muscles and spine, because of non-physiological pressure which heavy head puts on spine, which isn´t fully developed and stabilized. According to what is said, premature sitting up can make child skip crawling and lead to more frequent occurrence of back pain in adulthood. What do you think about this?

      Hi @Hanane Hatimi it sounds like you are referring to developmental milestones - so the age babies are when they typically achieve fine motor and gross motor milestones. I have a video on 3, 4 and 6 month developmental milestones that you might find helpful. Is that the information you are after? You can start tummy time (lying on their stomach) straight away so when you get home from hospital if there are no medical complications and your baby way born full term. Supported sitting (where you are holding them at their trunk to support them) can start when they have good head control so this is usually around 4 months of age. Babies start to grab toys with their whole hand at 3/4 months. They can only hold it very briefly at first and then they drop it.

      @@iamamoth Bravo. It isn't. You want to tell parenting styles where the mother has no leave, is so stressed, "SIDS" - something unknown in many parts of the world - is common and a new mom has to go online with no support, post-paturm depression is high, the cost of child birth is insane and maternal mortality rates are still high ( USA here)... You want to tell me that parenting is based on science and not an industry and sells useless and pretty much archaic information to mothers of human babies?
      If you really knew "science" you would know two of the least "researched" and tested groups are pregnant women and babies precisely because of ethics surrounding testing on these subjects. And the sleep community is NOT science. Sleep aids that kill babies- not science. Contraptions that are expensive to keep babies occupied so a new mom can do it all alone with no community support and in the most backward states, less than 2 weeks maternity leave...
      Do you know how many children die of SIDs outside America? In many parts of the world it's not a thing. You know how many women outside the west have PPD? How long maternity leave and how much better it is outside US? "Science" yourself. Research on babies, pregnancy and parenting is based on self-reported data. Pick up an article or two on the most recent debate, COVID-19 vaccines and you'll see precisely how we're at the point where pregnant women can get the vaccine and how under researched this group is.
      I'm happy to say, in my community, country and paediatric system the views of doulas, mothers and women as primary caregivers are taken seriously and even included in the new parent packs you take home after birth. Take time to read about revisions in the of psychiatry and ethics of clinical trials. Understand why we have sociology - and how data is collected. Look at parenting our the world - these are humans, not robots and you'll understand why parenting and children aren't things to be fixed or controlled. If this is what you think, you need to seriously consider your options as a parent.
      You know which communities have had baby and mother massage therapies for centuries? African and Asian. Empirical and learned evidence is information- it doesn't have to fit into your lens to count as data.and just becuase your community discovers something today and a scientist or researcher writes something about it, doesn't make it new. Likewise, a two man team can't make up.something and force a whole people with experience to do it. Nope dear, this is the 21st century. So many evil things have been done in the name of "science" including Nazi Germany, the beginnings of gynaecology and the baby trials.
      Western science has led to many errors, including Ferber and the baby terror trials. Take several seats before you come at me with what is most likely inverted misogyny and a mind that has never travelled out of state, nor will ever think beyond your confines. I have a few intelligent American friends, but would be very ironic if you were American with all the problems new mothers and babies have, including the cost of healthcare making assumptions and taking about "science." SMH. Parenting does not have to drive parents insane and lead to traumatised children. Nope. Not today Karen.

      In regards to rolling over I wouldn't be concerned as this is a skill bubs can up to 7 months. It's good to hear your little one has signs that he is getting close. He will get it with time. Just continue to give him time playing lying on the floor and help him roll over every time he needs to. So instead of just putting him on his tummy or putting him on his back, help him complete this movement.

This means, when their brain center for coordinating this movement and necessary muscles have developed.

We are also practicing sitting every wake window. She loves to just sit with my support around her ribcage, and just look around at stuff. Some people are saying she should not be able to do this at 8 weeks, and that its due to her having tension in her muscles and not actual muscle strength?
