Free movement in the neck and spine is important for motor development.
When I see a baby at the clinic, one of the first things I do is examine their overall mobility.

This assessment provides valuable information about what actions I need to take and how to proceed.

One test I always perform, which you can easily do at home, involves observing your baby’s movement to ensure it is symmetrical on both sides. Pay attention to how the baby’s eyes stay level when I move their body from side to side. If you notice any differences between sides, or if your baby favors one side, has a banana shape, or shows other motor challenges, I recommend paying extra attention to their motor development.

On my website, you will find physiotherapy exercise programs for all motor stages up to walking. Feel free to contact me if you are unsure which program is right for your baby.

What stage are your baby’s motor skills at now?

If your baby has a flat spot on the back of their head, this simple little trick can help.

Roll up a small towel or blanket and place it gently under your baby’s neck while your baby is awake and supervised.

This can help relieve pressure from the back of the skull and make it easier for your baby to move their head freely in both directions.

⚠️ Important: Never use this method during naps, bedtime, or anytime your baby is sleeping or unsupervised. Safety first!

This tip is part of my program “Back Arching and Flat Head”, where you’ll find best practice exercises and positioning tips based on Danish health recommendations.

It’s completely normal for young children to have flat feet until around the age of 4–5. During this time, the muscles in the arch of the foot aren’t fully developed yet, so it can look like the foot is flat when your child stands or walks. The arch develops gradually and usually becomes more visible around the age of 4–5.

By around 8–9 months, a baby should ideally be able to bear some weight on their feet while you support their body. That doesn’t mean something is wrong if it’s not happening yet — but it can be a good time to explore whether your baby is sensitive on the soles of their feet or might benefit from some gentle motor support.

Maybe you’ve also noticed that your baby stands on their toes when you practice weight-bearing or when they first start to stand? That’s totally normal too — especially before they’ve had a few months of stable walking. Babies’ feet are sensitive at first, and if your little one is under 12 months, they probably still have some of that grasp reflex left.

Another common concern is when a child’s feet point slightly outward in the early months of walking. This is also a natural part of development. When children are just learning to walk, they try to widen their base of support to help with balance — and that can make their feet turn out a little. As long as both feet are positioned the same way, there’s no need to worry.

Remember: every child develops at their own pace, and small variations in development are totally normal.

This changing table exercise is great to do with your baby daily and can be started from the very beginning. It’s especially helpful if your baby has a gassy tummy or is constipated.

In addition, general movement exercises are beneficial as they release tension and contribute to a relaxed baby.

Of course, adapt the exercise to your baby’s age. For newborns, do it slowly and gently. Avoid pushing through resistance and pay attention to whether your baby enjoys it or is indifferent.

The reward for this exercise is often some really good baby farts 💨🤩

Don’t believe everything you hear!

Myth 1: “It’s because your baby is a bit on the bigger side. That makes it harder to move!”

❗️There’s no basis for saying that. Many wonderfully chubby babies are strong and active. Muscles adapt to weight.

Myth 2: “It’s because your baby has a calm personality and just doesn’t feel like moving!”

❗️That’s also not true. Babies want to move. They’re evolutionarily wired to develop motor skills. They don’t have a personality that just can’t be bothered. If a child is delayed in their motor development, there’s usually a reason—and it’s very rarely something to worry about.

Myth 3: “It’s because your baby is focusing on fine motor skills instead!”

❗️Motor development doesn’t work like that. Children don’t stop developing gross motor skills just because they’re practicing something else.

When children are delayed in their motor development, there’s often a simple and non-dramatic explanation: Their muscles just aren’t strong enough yet.

More active time—and sometimes a bit of loving motor support—is often all it takes to help them back on track.

I totally get why we try to come up with reasons. As parents, we worry. But I want to bust these myths here on my profile and share a different story about motor delays—one that’s not based on myths or fears.

Because the truth is: It’s extremely rare that motor delays mean something is seriously wrong. And from a calm, non-worried place, you can help your child move forward and build a strong, happy relationship with movement.

This is such an easy and fun way to give your baby sensory stimulation at home. You don’t need any fancy equipment other than a floor and a blanket.

You can do this gently from 2 months old or from when you feel that your baby will enjoy it. As your baby gets older, you can advance to a faster pace with more turns, and you can challenge your baby’s stabilization by placing your baby in the tummy time position or in the sitting position.

I hope you will have a lot of fun with this!

It’s so important to give your baby sensory input from both sides right from the start. Alternate between the left and right side as often as possible to support symmetrical development and help prevent a preferred side and plagiocephaly.
