here i am worrying that my baby hasn’t rolled over yet at 3 months and three weeks you just made me feel so much better 😭😭😭😭

[@laurawhittingham2937]

Another fab video Sophie! It’s great to know my 4 month old is hitting all of these milestones and I’m sure this is in part due to all of the activities we’ve learnt from your baby classes ❤️ thank you! Xx

[@SophiePickles]

Thanks Laura! There's nothing better than watching them grow and develop is there? 😊

[@youtube.comJ-NETERER18]

I hope this works with my new niece 😊 I will be meeting her and I really hope this works with her

[@Lukas94337]

Good Mother, lucky Baby.🙂

Is it normal for them to scream lol mines screams when he's tired or bored

[@SophiePickles]

Yes very normal! Although not great for your eardrums!

[@winifredkal]

Omg! Mine screams a lot!😂

[@LifewithSattars]

mine screams when he wants me to pick him up

[@laninshki]

Mine does too

[@aryabj8298]

Mine too

[@happysmileylips]

Cuuuuute baby!

[@chantalculbert2173]

Love this! You really are encouraging and as you talk about a milestone assure us that every baby is different. Often times moms feel shamed if their babies aren’t hitting milestones quickly. Thank you for the ideas, I was running out!

[@SophiePickles]

Thanks so much for your kind message! Glad to be able to help, and yes you're absolutely right- they all do things in their own time 🤗

[@LoveHappyAli]

Fantastic video Sophie! Both my kids loved looking in a mirror. 😃

[@SophiePickles]

Thank you! You're so kind ☺️ I absolutely LOVE mirror play. It nearly always cheers up a grumpy Rupert!

[@DooDooMuffins]

My four month old army crawls all around the house. She's been rolling front to back back to front since the end of 3 months. I had no idea that this was advanced behavior lol

[@SophiePickles]

Thank you for watching, Chloe!

[@fairywhore]

My baby is the opposite when rolling lol he hasn't worked out how to roll front to back but has back to front lol

[@katdelmonte1112]

My baby does the same lol

[@olisaemekagerald2773]

You've got a beautiful diastema. 😘

[@epboe7100]

My baby hates tummy time and Im desperate. I train him everyday and still not getting him to play on his tummy. He is 4 months.

[@MaannLifeAdventures123]

Hello!!! Thanks for the info.. I will surely do these activities to Ethan. Hope you can also watch him, many thanks😀

[@karinapeters829]

Hi can you do a vedio on the 5ss baby shushing please let me know

[@SophiePickles]

Hi Karina. There will be a video on how to calm a crying baby coming next week. 👍🏻

[@karinapeters829]

@@SophiePickles ok

[@katlinmacleod7591]

I do tummy time with my son every day but he can not do it like the baby at the first of this video. He won't lift his head up. Should I be concerned?

[@caritasdecaro8019]

And i sit him in an activity center now?

[@SophiePickles]

As long as his neck is strong enough to support his head then yes, it's fine 😊

[@melindadupuis]

Yes definitely! My boys have been in one for play since 2 1/2 months old. I recommend putting a blanket around their hips if you’re worried. Using of the activity centers actually helps learn more head support

[@lottalindqvist796]

Great video! But you speak very fast, maybe a bit slower for us in other countries! Thanks!

[@SophiePickles]

Oh sorry, that's just my normal speaking pace! There is an option to reduce the speed of the videos to help you. Xx

NEVER prompt sitting! jesus crist. they will sit when they are ready for it, themselves.

[@SophiePickles]

Absolutely they will (or most babies at least) but many enjoy being in a seated position before they can sit independently. It helps babies with reflux and aids building core muscles. I would never recommend using devices to do this (like a bumbo) but sitting with you for lap rhymes etc builds balance, stability and is a great bonding tool. 🥰

[@petrak.6904]

@@SophiePickles omg there really is a great difference between czech physiotherapy and the rest of the world. they would never recommend any prompting for sitting or walking or any kind of bouncers etc. the US people are lagging behind very much in this field.

[@SophiePickles]

@@petrak.6904 I'm English, not American 😉 I too agree that it's interesting how different cultures choose to raise their babies. I don't advocate using walkers or seat positioners (as I mentioned in my last comment). Free floor time and movement is by far the best way to allow a baby to develop their physical skills. If you'd like to look at my Instagram account, I have many videos talking about this. Thanks for your comment. Have a great day!
