Understanding Your Baby’s Growth, One Step at a Time
Becoming a new parent can feel like navigating a maze of milestones. You may find yourself wondering: “Is my baby on track?” This is where an Infant Motor Milestone Assessment comes in. At PlayWorks, we’re here to help you understand your baby’s current abilities and guide you through their next steps—literally and figuratively.
What Are Motor Milestones?
Motor milestones are key physical skills we expect babies to reach as they grow—like rolling, sitting, crawling, and eventually walking. While parents often know the “big ones,” there are plenty of smaller steps in between that set the stage for greater movement and coordination. Understanding these milestones helps you know what’s coming next and how to support your child as they achieve each new skill.
What Does a Physiotherapy Assessment Involve?
During a session, our pediatric physiotherapists carefully observe your baby’s movements. We look at their strength, coordination, and how they interact with their environment. Then we’ll explain how your baby’s progress compares to others at a similar age. If your little one is a bit behind in any area, we’ll share fun, play-based strategies and positioning tips to encourage the skills they’re working on. If they’re right on track, we’ll show you what’s coming next so you can help them reach that next exciting step.
Why Parents Love These Assessments
We know that being a new parent can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re sorting through endless internet advice. Many parents tell us, “I wish I’d known about this sooner!” Our one-on-one assessments and friendly approach provide a safe, welcoming space to ask questions, learn strategies, and feel confident that you’re supporting your baby’s growth and health.
What About Toys and Equipment?
Wondering which toys are worth it? We’ll help you pick items that encourage your baby’s movement and development. Sometimes it’s about using what you already have in creative ways. Our goal is to ensure you feel empowered to create a supportive, playful environment for your baby’s progress—without filling your home with unnecessary gadgets.
Looking Ahead
Infant Motor Milestone Assessments are just one reason to see a pediatric physiotherapist. Stay tuned as we explore even more ways to help children thrive through therapy and play. At PlayWorks, we’re here to celebrate each new skill and help you navigate this incredible journey with confidence and joy.
