Understanding Baby Development Milestones with Nicole Pates
Manage episode 427924080 series 3563658
For this week's episode, I welcome Nicole Pates, a pediatric physio at Western Kids Health, to discuss baby development milestones. Nicole offers detailed insights into understanding what's normal in physical development and provides reassurance for concerned parents. They cover a range of key milestones such as rolling, crawling, sitting, and walking, explaining the broad timelines and variations that are normal for these developments.
Nicole emphasised the importance of considering each baby's unique factors, including genetics, personality, opportunities for movement, and family support. We also discuss how to encourage development through meaningful play, stressing the significance of connection over correction.
Throughout the episode of Thriving Parent-ing, Nicole's approach centers on building parental confidence and understanding, highlighting that each baby's developmental journey is individual and unique.
