A baby’s brain undergoes an incredible amount of development in the first few years of life. By around age 2, the brain is approximately 80% of its adult size.

But brain development isn’t just about getting bigger. During this time, the brain is rapidly building and strengthening connections, and movement provides important sensory information that helps shape those developing pathways.

This is one of the reasons we think it’s so important to look at how babies are moving, functioning and progressing through their developmental milestones.

Every time a baby turns their head, reaches, kicks, rolls, pushes up through their arms, sits or crawls, their brain is receiving information from their body.

Ideally, we want plenty of movement and sensory input coming from both sides of the body.

For example, if a baby has reduced neck movement and consistently struggles to turn their head to one side, we may see some of the more obvious effects like a head preference, tight muscles or developing a flat spot on one side of the head.

We also want to think about how this might affect their movement and development.

If a baby is consistently looking, reaching, rolling or moving more easily to one side, they may be getting different movement and sensory experiences on each side of their body.

That’s why when we assess babies, we’re not only looking at whether they can achieve a milestone. We’re looking at how they’re doing it, whether they can move comfortably in both directions and whether both sides of their body are getting opportunities to move, explore and develop.

If your baby is favouring one side, struggling to meet their milestones or you’re simply curious to check in and see how they’re doing, book an assessment today. 🤍

If you’re a mum or mum-to-be who’s short on time but starting to notice your posture looking a little worse for wear, try these quick and easy exercises.

Between feeding, carrying kids, looking down at babies and just general mum life, we spend A LOT of time rounded forward.

Here are 4 simple exercises I use:

✨ Chin tucks — gently draw your chin backwards (think double chin!) without looking down. Great for counteracting all that time spent looking down.

✨ Shoulder blade squeezes — gently draw your shoulder blades back and together, without shrugging your shoulders.

✨ Shoulder and arm circles — start with your arms straight above your head, then open them out and around in a big circle, finishing with your arms by your sides.

✨ Posture pole — lie lengthways along the pole with your arms relaxed out to the sides to gently open up through your chest and shoulders.

I’m a working mum of two, so time is pretty short. Instead of trying to find extra time in my day, I fit these into things I’m already doing.

Chin tucks in the shower or against the chair during a contact nap.

Shoulder blade squeezes when I sit down to eat or while I’m stopped at the traffic lights.

Shoulder and arm circles whenever I remember!

And the posture pole once the kids are asleep.

For the first three exercises, hold for around 10 seconds and aim for 10 reps. But if you can only manage one or two at a time, scattered throughout the day, that’s still worth doing.

For the posture pole, start with around 2 minutes and gradually work your way up to 10 minutes. I especially love this one at the end of the day because it gives me a chance to slow down, focus on my breathing and unwind as well as working on my posture.

Save this one for later. And if you feel like your posture, neck or shoulders need a little more help, reach out 🤍

If I could go back and share just five things with every pregnant woman before 30 weeks, this would be my list.

✨ Your baby’s position doesn’t just matter during labour. The weeks leading up to birth are important too.

✨ Your daily habits matter more than you think. The way you sit, move and rest can influence how your body adapts throughout pregnancy.

✨ You don’t have to simply “put up” with pregnancy discomfort. There are often ways to help you move more comfortably.

✨ Build your birth support team early. Whether it’s your partner, chiropractor, midwife, obstetrician, pelvic health physiotherapist or doula, having the right people around you can make a big difference.

✨ Preparing for labour isn’t something to think about at 37 weeks. The habits you build throughout pregnancy can help prepare your body for birth.

Every pregnancy is different, but having the right information and the right support can make all the difference.

If you’re looking for a pregnancy chiropractor, we’d love to support you throughout your pregnancy and help you prepare for labour and birth.

After 15 years as a pregnancy and paediatric chiropractor, and two pregnancies of my own, there are a few habits I find myself discussing with pregnant women every single week.

These include:

▪️Spending hours reclining on the couch.

▪️Sitting with your knees higher than your hips.

▪️Staying in the same position for long periods.

▪️Not moving enough throughout the day.

▪️Holding onto tension when life feels stressful.

We don’t just talk about these habits because they can help you feel more comfortable. We talk about them because they can also support healthy pelvic movement, prepare your body for labour and birth, and create an environment that encourages your baby into an optimal position.

Want to know why these habits matter during pregnancy? We’d love to help.
