FAQ
-
When should I start?
Now. Babies change rapidly in the first months; early action yields faster progress.
-
How much time do I need per day?
Most families start with 5–10 minutes of exercises per day. Broken up into 2-3 sessions per day.
-
Is this safe?
Yes—techniques are gentle, pediatric‑friendly, and parent‑performed. Always stop if baby is distressed and consult your provider with any concerns.
-
Will this replace in‑person care?
This course is educational and complements care from your pediatrician, PT/OT, and/or chiropractor. I also created this course because many people don't have the resources or access to work with providers based on location. (Doing something is always better than doing nothing! This course is a great foundation.)
-
What if my baby is older than 6 months?
The principles and exercises in this course will definitely still help, but progress can take longer. Consider adding a 1:1 consult with me for a customized plan.
