Actually, all of those seem pretty important to us!! And they’re super important when it comes to your child’s development! 🧠 So why are so many babies missing the crawling milestone?

It starts with the nervous system! The nervous system, specifically our neurospinal system, plays a crucial role in gross motor function. The very first thing to develop in-utero is the brainstem and spinal cord because, from the first moments of life, the brain and Autonomic Nervous System will control every single movement of muscles, heart beating, lung breathing, food digestion, and so forth. From there, your baby will learn to roll over, sit up, and crawl. When they skip crawling and go straight to standing, they are missing a crucial part of development! 😣

If this happens, we can’t say “They’ll grow out of it” or “Crawling isn’t essential.” We also can’t just focus on the muscular or core aspects, especially when trying to get to the root cause of any neuromuscular or gross motor problems. It is crucial to address the NEURO part first and foremost – and that is where PT and OT may not be able to get the root cause of Central Nervous System dysfunction. 💪

If your child is struggling with motor and developmental milestones, let us know! We would love to help and pinpoint exactly where the nervous system is “stuck” and needs some extra help! DM us or click the link in our bio to learn more! ♥️
