Ep 177: They Changed The Milestone Guidelines… Here’s Why That’s Wrong

Every movement your child makes starts with the tiniest muscles right next to their spine. These muscles are the foundation for rolling, crawling, and walking. And they begin developing at just six weeks of pregnancy.

In this Truth Bomb, I’m breaking down why childhood milestones matter and why you shouldn’t rely on recently revised guidelines that push developmental timelines later. Your baby’s body knows exactly what it needs to do and when.

I’ve created two free resources to help you track development accurately: my Developmental Milestones Guide and the Connect My Brain app with pictures and details for each stage.

Here’s the truth about tummy time: even if your baby fusses, they need it. That resistance is their nervous system learning and growing.

When we identify where development got off track, we can create a plan to help your child (or even you as an adult) get back on course.
