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!

From around six months, most babies can reach their feet and put them in their mouths.
However, if a baby tends to extend or arch their body, reaching this milestone can be challenging.

Here’s one of my best tips to help your baby if this doesn’t come naturally:

Attach one or two colorful bag clips (or something similarly bright and motivating) to your baby’s socks, and watch how exciting their feet suddenly become!

❗️Be sure not to leave your baby alone with the bag clip, as it can be a choking hazard❗️

Milestones for supine leg lifts:
🔸3 months: Lifts legs briefly.
🔸4 months: Prefers lifted legs.
🔸5 months: Grabs thighs.
🔸6 months: Grabs feet.

You’ll find all my tips and exercises for babies who struggle with lifting their legs, arching, or have a flat head in my program “Develobaby - Back Arching.”

The common factor when a baby has difficulty lying on their stomach, is that the stabilizing muscles have become so weak that the baby cannot push up through their arms and stabilize their head.

When this happens, it’s a strength issue - certain muscles simply need to be activated or strengthened. Even if tension is present, the solution is to strengthen the stabilizing muscles, which will help the baby lie on their stomach and after a while relieve the tension.

You can get these exercises from your local pediatric physiotherapist, chiropractor, or another qualified practitioner trained in exercise adaptation. Alternatively, you can access them through my exercise program, “Develobaby - Tummy Time”.. Comment TUMMY for link.

Often, it only takes a few days of doing the exercises before the baby gets back on the developmental track. Once a baby is strong during tummy time and engages in it regularly, their motor skills will develop more naturally from there.

This lovely little girl experiences motor restlessness during sleep, which is common among babies and not a cause for concern or a sign that something is ‘wrong.’

Motor restlessness occurs because babies have immature sensory integration, making it difficult for them to sense the boundaries of their bodies—that is, where the body ends and space begins. To address this, babies often move their arms, legs, or even their entire body. These movements help them better sense their body’s position, which in turn regulates and soothes them.

However, this sensory-seeking behavior can wake the baby up, leading to more difficulty falling and staying asleep.

To help this, you can choose to stimulate your baby’s primary senses during the day so that they are pleasantly sensory-saturated and have less need to seek sensory input at bedtime.

You can learn how to do these sensory-stimulating exercises in my bestselling program, ‘Develobaby - Sleep,’ which you can find via the link in my bio or by commenting SLEEP here.

Most children can jump by the time they turn 3, but when it comes to this milestone, there’s a wide range of what’s considered “normal.” It depends a lot on how much practice they’ve had - and how motivated they are.

You can start playing around with jumping from around age 2, or whenever your child starts showing interest.

Jumping is MUCH easier when you’re jumping down from something than when you’re trying to jump in mid-air. That’s why this is the world’s best trick for learning how to jump in the beginning!

Jumping milestones:
1. Jumping down from something one foot at a time

2. Jumping down from something with both feet together

3. Jumping in mid-air, one foot at a time

4. Jumping in mid-air with both feet together

You can help your child learn to use both feet at the same time by paying attention to the rhythm or sound you hear when the feet land. If you hear two separate sounds, their feet aren’t landing together.

Happy jumping!

Have you ever encountered questions about why you choose to actively support your child’s development?

I certainly hear phrases like:

❗️“They didn’t spend time on that in the old days, and all adults can walk.”!
❗️“I didn’t crawl, and I’m fine!”
❗️“You don’t see any adults today with the back of their heads flat!”

🔸When we were children, it wasn’t yet known that not sleeping on the back increases the risk of SIDS. That’s why it was normal to lay babies on their tummies - one night with their heads turned to the right, the next to the left. This prevented preferred side and relieved tension, resulting in a much lower prevalence of flat heads. That’s why we don’t see many adults with this today. But once the fontanelles have fused, the head doesn’t naturally round out again, so it’s important to understand that it won’t just correct itself.

🔸We know much more today. Extensive research has been conducted on motor development, and more people are successfully communicating this knowledge.
❗️The previous generation’s ceiling is often the new generation’s floor❗️
We now understand that a strong motor foundation creates good conditions for a lifelong joy of movement, social participation, and overall health - both mental and physical.

🔸Many of us are fortunate enough to live in a society where our basic needs are met. Motor skills are not a matter of life and death but of quality of life so there’s room for raising the bar for our children in many countries.

🔸An important factor is also the rise of screen time, which has taken over much of the time children used to spend moving.

🔸Finally, there is much more of a “beware” culture today than in the past. Here in Denmark I notice too many empty playgrounds and when there are children there, their parents often supervise them intensively.

An important part of a baby’s motor development is learning to lift their legs while lying on their back.

As a rule of thumb, babies should ideally be able to do this by around six months.

One way to encourage your baby to lift their legs is to make their feet a little more interesting to grab. Try attaching clothes pegs to their socks. If you can find some colorful ones, even better!

Always stay right next to your baby during this activity. Clothes pegs should definitely not end up in that little mouth if they get pulled off the socks.

Have fun!

“The Sensory Rock” is a little trick I’ve used with my own children and now use all the time in my clinic. It’s often super effective for calming a slightly unsettled baby.

When you bring your baby’s arms in close to the body, give light weight to the tummy and chest and gently rock the body back and forth, you will often find that your baby calms down. This resembles the feeling of being inside the womb and at the same time offers basic sensory stimulation.

If you want all my baby sleep tricks, including the best practice exercises for sensory stimulation, you will find them all in my bestselling online program “Develobaby - Sleep”.

Have you ever seen your child shake their head – maybe repeatedly and without any clear reason?

I get so many questions about this from worried parents all over the world. But in most cases, there’s no need to worry. In fact, it’s a pretty common way for children to calm themselves.

When a child shakes their head, it stimulates the vestibular system in a linear way, which helps regulate the nervous system – especially when they’re feeling (or have just felt) overstimulated.

Children who are (becoming) overstimulated will often instinctively seek out sensory input like this to soothe themselves. And it’s actually a great strategy – the body is doing something really clever.

As long as head-shaking is enough to help your child feel regulated, you don’t need to intervene. But you can take it as a sign that your child has a greater need for self-regulation and support to find calm. It’s actually a brilliant tool to help you read your child’s needs.

Some children have a greater sensory need than others. It’s not because you as a parent have done too little – it just means your child’s needs are bigger (for now).

I’ve gathered simple and cozy sensory exercises in my sensory play programs:

Type SLEEP for a link to the program for children under 2.
Type SENSE for a link to the program for children over 2.

What signs does your child show when they’re craving more sensory input?
