E 7: Developmental Delay: Why won't my baby roll over?
This episode could also be called, "Why won't my baby sit up?" or "When should my baby be crawling", or "Should I be worried that my baby isn't yet walking?"
If you've been googling any of those sorts of questions, you’re not alone! In this episode Lisa explains what delayed development really means, why it’s so common today, and when parents should (and shouldn’t) be concerned.
We’ll cover:
- The wide range of “typical” development and why milestone charts can be misleading
- How factors like sensory thresholds, muscle tone, and joint hypermobility affect movement
- Why modern parenting habits (less tummy time, more baby equipment) are delaying gross motor skills
- The link between crawling, sitting, rolling, and later strength, stability, and learning
- Practical steps parents can take at home to support their baby’s motor development
- When to seek extra help from a physiotherapist or GP
