Posture & Infant Technology

Join Ellie for an episode where she talks you through how extremely 'normal' baby/infant technology can disrupt the all-important early years development of children's muscles and posture. Whilst the list of infant technology is long, she digs into the impact of chair devices (car seats, highchairs, baby bouncers, baby walkers, push-chairs), bottle feeding, shoes and nappies. Whilst some things might seem unavoidable nowadays, we can understand the harm that these products cause to posture and therefore mitigate how long we put our children in contact with these things.
