Babies, children, or adults with vision problems will have movement and milestone challenges.

While many say vision does not affect milestone development, that is 100% false.

A child with poor vision can become developmentally delayed due to the child's inability to respond to stimuli with efficiency.

While baby vision develops over time, much can be done to make sure your child's vision is on track.

Michelle Turner Leading Expert in Baby Movement and Milestone Foundations and Development shares with you how to be aware of some of your baby's most important needs from day one.

First, you want to be aware...

Baby Exercise for Umbilical Cord Birth Trauma.

First focus on each individual vertebra and then work on the spine as a whole. 

So I'm I'm here in just working and I need to work on the spine.

Now the tendency with anything we do in life, we think lifting up.

But with the baby, it's a bit more about the down.

So if the spine is here, my touch going down; my down is just significant, if not more so than, my touch going up. 

So when I go up, I'm going to affect the system by initiating the absolute horizon in the neck vertebra this way.

Can You Tell a Baby has CP Right Away?

One of the signs that a child is at risk for Cerebral Palsy (CP) is that they manifest counter-oppositional Movements. 

An example of what counter-oppositional movement is, is shown in the short video.

Within the first hour of birth you can see if a child is doing counter-oppositional movements. 

But because risk for CP can be assessed at birth using the Newborn Movement Assessment™ (NMA), risk for Cerebral Palsy can be reduced using the Movement Lesson™ Technique. 

You can teach your child correct movements with the Super-baby Bootcamp and reduce the risk of CP as ...

What are the Affects Swaddling Can Have on Your Baby? Things to Consider Before Swaddling Your Baby.

• Compounded movement deviations occur when a baby is swaddled. 
• Swaddling becomes addictive because a baby doesn't know how to move when it is not swaddled. 
• Determining whether a baby should be or shouldn't be swaddled, one can use the Newborn Movement Assessment™ to determine if the baby is at high risk or low risk for movement deviations (developmental milestone delays).    
• Parents must be careful not to swaddle too much as it can cause developmental milestone delays.
• If a child needs to be swaddled, The child needs Movement Lesson™ or some form of early intervention sooner than later. Needing to be swaddled is an early sign that negative movement deviations are already occurring in the child's system. 

Have You Ever Asked, "Should I Swaddle My Baby?"

Let's talk about swaddling. It's not about "do" or "don't do."

Parents are often taught to celebrate milestones.

Development happens before the milestone.

Rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, and walking are outcomes.

Transitional developmental movements are the skills that organize those outcomes.

If the transitions are missing, milestones may become delayed, inefficient, or compensatory.

An optimally developing child maintains visual interest while learning movement.

As reaching, rolling, sitting, and crawling emerge, vision and movement develop together.

When developmental movement breaks down, visual organization often becomes fragmented as well.

Movement is the foundation of development.

Before a child can sit, crawl, communicate, point, interact, or learn, they must organize movement against gravity.

Developmental movements teach the nervous system how to adapt to the environment.

At Movement Lesson™, we ar about helping your baby move with optimal development. We work on so many aspects of movement that include:
