Oft haben die Kinder bei einer Seiten Präferenz eine Blockade im 1. und 2. Halswirbel. Hier hilft eine gezielte Manualtherapie nur für Babies, sonst kann daraus eine Skoliose entstehen. Oft ist das ist sacrum auch verschoben und braucht eine Korrektur. Das ist sehr heilsam und vorbeugend?

[@ruthydrawsalot8210]

You can't treat social disability which u called a red flag. It's actually ableist to socially disabled ppl. And it's also inaccurate and shows how you ppl can think ppl can't be socially disabled if they're not doing the typical social "taboos". You can't fix social development. Some ppl are just different and that's okay and saying stuff like make sure they're normal is horrible. You talk and talk and it's all ableism. Wishing baby to be normal and this is how u view disabled ppl.I wish you could grow up

Very detailed and very informative! Thank you so much as I have a baby who is 3 months premature and so when you stated at the very beginning to go in accordance to their development adjusted age, it put me at so much ease.

[@nadiadanielle1317]

My baby was born at 36 weeks. Not quite premature but 4 weeks early is actually noticable in her milestone development.. part of it is she still has a wobbly head at 4 months, cant support her neck much. Hearing that im supposed to measure her milestone based on the supposed age of birth instead of her real birth gives her a month setback and it makes so much more sense. Thank you

Great video. My baby suffered of torticolis. Luckily my husband noticed it and we went to therapy. It was incredible helpful and the flat head and reduced motor skills in one side were corrected. It is extremely helpful to know what to look in our baby.

[@EmmaHubbard]

Awesome work on picking up the torticollis early. It is often really easy to miss.

[@clarezajac3276]

I know my baby had it and sleeping in the Bobby pillow I mean I was right there, I wasn't leaving her by herself in that pillow. It was able to straighten her out and helped correct the trying to go to one side. She seems so much more comfortable in it. A lot of baby massage, to help straighten those joints out. It's caused because when the baby's coming through the birth canal it's a lot of pressure going on. And they're all jammed up and their back hurts and their neck hurts and they just went through something very traumatic. Being pushed through the birth canal. Coconut oil and a few drops of lavender was all I used for massage and in those moments where she was just screaming and there was nothing I could do to comfort her it seemed the lavender coconut oil foot and leg massage made all the difference in the world. It would turn those moments of being on the brink of insanity to calm and peacefulness. We can't be going to the pediatrician every damn day we've got to do these things ourselves! But yes see your pediatrician. But this is something that you can help Comfort them and relieve their pain. A lot of babies that are just colicky probably have a bit of this

[@rosaromeo4370]

My baby girl was born 40 weeks and we were in NICU for 4 days. Baby was born with her right wrist folded inwards and half body celebral palsy after her echo, ct scan, xray, scans everything else needed to know if she is ok everything came back normal, and it was ruled out that she just squashed half her body up when she was still in my womb..she followed the usual growth steps but we were very patient with her as she eventually gets there on her own timing, what ever the doctors told us that would happen to my little girl 7 months later she has proven so much apart from her wrist she has changed alot since day 1 and her wrist is slowly getting better... I am still giving her tmy time exercise as her neck is still abit wriggly.

[@shaycade1532]

As a caregiver it's frustrating when I share my concerns with the parents and suggest they ask the pediatrician. Either they ignore me, or the Dr. Says "let's wait and see" then later there are ALWAYS issues 😕

[@RENbby]

Yeah very weird. The Pediatricians I’ve interacted with came off cavalier.

[@kianamcintosh3547]

For anyone in the comments that is wondering what the last red flag could signal (in regards to difficulty feeding and poor latching/losing milk) they’re common signs of a lip or tongue tie! I strongly recommend that if you’re experiencing these signs along with they latch and unlatch frequently, have gas pains, difficulty sleeping on their back (prefer upright or stomach positions), snore, hiccup a ton throughout the day, arent gaining a lot of weight or seem to be labelled under “failure to thrive” or youre experiencing lots of nipple pain and vv frequent nursing sessions, to ask for a referral from the babys dr to get a consultation done. Most pediatricians/midwives/family drs are not trained in identifying ties and that can make life v difficult in their development bc it affects so much. I just got my daughters ties fixed and it has made a world of difference and shes gained so much more weight in just 2 weeks and is a lot less fussy. You know your baby better than anyone, like Emma said, youll see the signs. And dont let your babys dr dismiss or discourage you from addressing the issue! Remember that it does affect their health and a dentist that specializes in the practice can determine its severity with much more accuracy than the untrained eye! Much love 💕 Happy parenting (:

[@saggcornio9307]

[@kianamcintosh3547]

@@saggcornio9307 Of course! Theres three different methods which is cutting, cauterizing, and laser. Im pretty sure that laser is the most common method now due to the most effective healing outcome and the least amount of pain inflicted on baby. In my personal experience they had didnt allow me in the room w her bc traumatic experience for both baby and parent. But they explained that they swaddle the baby and put goggle over their eyes to protect them and do the procedure from that point.

This is very helpful! My 3 month old baby enjoys following toys by turning his head but never turns his head all the way to either side for the toy. He loses interest once it's by his ear even if it rattles. But he can turn his head all the way to either side cause he does it in his bed all the time. I'll bring it up with his pediatrician to be on the safe side.

What could be the reason for a baby to not show hunger? My baby only had hunger cues in the first 6 weeks. After that I fed her every 1,5-2 hours during the day when I thought she must be hungry but without her showing any signs. Now she ist 3 months old and only breastfeeds right after waking up. If I am too late by just 10 minutes she won’t breastfeed anymore. This came suddenly. And at first i didn’t know why she would feed. That day she refused to feed almost all day long but never cried although she must have been hungry. Then I figured that she only feeds directly after waking up. That’s what we are doing know. She feeds very well. But I am wondering why she wouldn’t show hunger if she didn’t feed for 4+ hours

[@maryjoydeguzman1785]

How is your baby now?

[@lelebaba9597]

@@maryjoydeguzman1785 hi! I think around 4,5-5 months it changed to her feeding when hungry no matter if just woken up, tired or anywhere in between. The change came quite suddenly. She is 6 months old now and I breastfeed around every hour when awake. Usually she starts whining when hungry, bored or tired and then I always try breastfeeding first. When tired, she will nurse to sleep, if she isn’t hungry she pushed herself away. Everything is much easier now :)

Our premature son came 6 weeks early, his corrected age has him at 3 weeks and he’s already able to fully lift Head and turn side to side during Tummy time. So far he’s an extra strong little guy. He was a massive baby, he was 6 weeks premature but was already 7lbs. He measured 99%> the entire pregnancy. The doctors estimated if he’d gone full term he’d of weighed 11lbs

[@dirtybirdy510]

My son came 6wks early too and was also able to lift and turn their heads. I think he’s pretty strong! But he was a tiny baby, born at 3.4lbs. He measured in the 1%percentile. I’d like to think 6 weeker’s are something special

The constantly turning their head to one side is how my mom figured out my sister had no hearing in one ear. Back then newborns weren't screened at birth but it could have also been caused by chicken pox she caught at 2 (chicken pox vaccine didn't exist then).

[@Ogbonnajuwairiah]

Thank you so much for all your educative information, I always visit your page to clarify myself of the things I don’t understand. I suspected my three months old had torticollis initially but as her colic pain decreases she no longer bends her body, rather she turns her whole body to the left when she’s awake at every single chance she gets. She’s holding her head up straight now and no longer archs her back. Should I be worried please?

[@kd8663]

Thank you for this video. My baby is 9 weeks old and the nurse just noticed that he turns his head to one side only. The paediatrician missed it and I missed it. I thought it was sth normal as he doesn’t have perfect head control yet. But when I tried to move his head to the opposite side, he cried. We are going to have this checked asap. How to correct it and how long does it take? I do believe it was from the car seat as it doesn’t have very good head support.

[@HopeAbigailDayan]

My son was turning his head to one side due to how I was holding him during the day, and how we sleep at night. I changed how we sleep at night so his heas is turned the opposite way, and I started paying attention when I hold him or put him down for a nap to have his head turned sometimes one way, sometimes the other. It took 5 to 6 weeks until his body seemed balanced, and we are still working to correct him using one side of his body more than the other. Probably going to continue with massage and helping him use the other side more.

Hi @Haya Shamsi so nice to hear your find these videos helpful. Losing milk could indicate a few things. It is always best to check in with a doctor or paediatric speech pathologist who specialises in feeding, because they can see you little one in person and give you specific strategies if your little one is having difficulty. It might be as simple as changing the flow of the teat if your little one is bottle feeding.

Hey Emma, you mentioned at the end of the video about babies spilling lots of milk when feeding, this is the fist time I’ve heard of it being a red flag, could you explain why and maybe some times to combat it? My 1 month old started doing this at about two weeks.

Could be reflux. My pediatrician said as long as baby is gaining weight and having wet diapers they are most likely fine. Our daughter had issues with vomiting and spitting up and it turned out to be reflux. She’s so much better on medicine.

[@hannahbaker2856]

My 2-week old just started being a "happy spitter" too. Some feedings result in a little to a lot of spit-up, which seems to be related to a more horizontal nursing position and/or my position (strong letdown). I keep his head elevated to about 45 degrees for 15-30 minutes after a feed and lean him back for a few minutes before burping gently, both of which reduce the frequency and amount of spit-up.

[@katchastain4984]

My son will be 6 months old in 2 weeks.

[@cmdoggy24]

My baby (just turned 4 months) thrashes her legs often. She seems to do it more when she has gas or colic and when first waking up. Is this normal? I see all these scary autism videos about stimming and it got me worried

[@nnefynamaka]

Is it normal for a 2month old baby to be turning head side to side or trying to raise her head up constantly while sleeping ?

[@Mob-zm8fi]

My baby will be 2 in another 10 days. He can turn his head both ways. But he is yet to keep up his head unsupported when i carry him on shoulder. Should i be worried??

Wenn das Baby nach 3 Monaten immer noch die Hände geschlossen hat, kann das eine Altlasblockade ( 1. Halswirbel steht schief) bedeuten

Hi Emma, Hope you and your family is doing great! I follow your videos all the time and thanks for sharing all these awesome and important informations with us. I was not sure where to message you, so I am messaging here. Kindly I request you to please let me know what should i do with my 3 month old baby to be prepared his ears for ear pop/ air pressure issue in the flight. As I will be traveling first time with him soon. Thanks in advance

[@adamonic8152]

So my baby’s head shake every time he sleeps. And he is only 2 weeks. Is that normal??

[@DikshaSingh-cr2mj]

Hi Emma, Big fan of yours. I’m not sure if it’s a valid doubt but my baby’s head is not in proper shape it’s little outward on one side. He always had a preferred side until 3 months of age but now he is 7 months old and can move freely. We do regular check ups at paediatric and they never came up with it.

[@curreypanda6640]

Hello. I'm in a similar situation. How is your baby doing now if you don't mind me asking? Thank you in advance.

[@richardrogers7782]

My babie is almost 5 and a half months. She seems to still be a little cross eyed with one eye. Is this normal?

[@shivanisabrani835]

Hi. My bub is 4month 8 days old. She has started grabbing her feet. However does it more with her left hand. With her right hand, she can reach upto her knees or ankle max. Often she keeps her right hand fisted as well. Also she can scratch her head with her left hand but never does it with her right. She can bring the head uo though. Also when she grabs toys with her right hand, she twists her arms so that the underside of her arms faces upwards while with left hand she often grabs normally. What is this? Should i be worried? She has good head control

[@Meganc3090]

Hi! My 2 month old does the same thing. He's constantly holding his right hand out to look at it, but never looks at his left.. Did you ever get answers as to why your lo was doing that? Did it correct itself?

[@makiliiiiiii]

Hello! Any updates on this? My 3mo uses mostly his left hand.

[@HopeAbigailDayan]

When my son did this, I worked to correct the imbalance in the 2 sides of his body. Massage, paying alof of attention to which way his head was turned when I hold him and when he sleeps. And I held up his other foot so he could see it and try to grab it. I put his other hand on the foot and he grabbed it. After a week or 2 he was grabbing the foot himself, and even not grabbing the first one....

[@NyiamCarojoy]

What about not bearing weight on the leg at 6months??

[@damilolafemifasan]

My baby was born Nov 4th,2022 prematurely. So my 3 EDD was Dec 4, 16 and 17th,. So what is the corrected birth age..

[@shirlettehuddha8218]

Hi Emma, my baby will be 2 in 4 months time but has a flat spot. Can it be corrected? Please let me know.

[@EmmaHubbard]

Hi Shirlette it really depends on the level of flatness. I would recommend you pop into the doctor who can see your little one in person and have a look at the flat spot and give you advice. Hope that helps!

Is the losing a lot of liquid during a feed also a red flag for a 1 monyh old?

[@alyasviews]

My youngest has formula go out the side of her mouth and it appears to be 1/4 of an 4oz bottle but her doctor isn’t concerned. She just turned 4 months old.

[@EmmaHubbard]

Its great you have mentioned it to the doctor. If you are concerned you can always seek a second opinion or ask your doctor why they are not concerned. For example if she is putting on weight and generally happy then that might be why it isn’t concerning.

My new born lose alot of milk when feeding. Always feels distressed at the start of breast feeding...she is 3weeks ..should I b worried

[@EmmaHubbard]

It depends. If she is putting on weight then it is ok. But is she makes a clicking noise, continues to loose a lot of milk and fusses at the breast during a feed then it’s best to check in with the feeding consultant.

Hi @Emma M I am not sure why your little one is no longer cooing. I would check in with your doctor, as they can see your little one in person and give you advice. Goodluck!

How is your baby now? Please reply 🙏

[@estherumaru2091]

I have been following your videos for a while. They are really educating. I have a baby girl, she's 13 months old and and still doesn't respond to her name. Took her to the hospital, the pediatrician did an observation on her and said she's fine. But she's still not responding. Can you please help 👏

[@HopeAbigailDayan]

Did she get vccinated? Maybe she was brain injured by the toxic substances (aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde, etc) in them? Or maybe she can't hear you?

[@danaa.1093]

How long will they stare at caregiver? Mine only looks for a couple seconds
