✨ What to expect from your 6 month old ✨

At this age, babies are becoming stronger, more curious, and much more interactive! Here are some exciting milestones you may notice:

👶 Gross motor skills
• Sitting with support (hands forward for balance or supported at the hips)
• Rolling both ways
• Pushing up on straight arms during tummy time
• Bringing feet to hands and exploring toes
• Starting to bounce when held in standing

🖐️ Fine motor & reaching
• Reaching purposefully for toys
• Grasping objects and bringing them to the mouth
• Transferring toys from one hand to the other
• Beginning to rake at small objects

👀 Visual skills
• Tracking moving objects smoothly
• Reaching accurately for what they see
• Studying faces closely
• Showing interest in mirrors and bright toys

🧠 Social & communication
• Laughing and squealing
• Responding to their name
• Showing excitement when they see familiar people
• Exploring with lots of babbling sounds

💛 Remember: every baby develops at their own pace. If you’re unsure about your little one’s development, early support can make a big difference.

id you know that different types of movement can either alert or calm your nervous system? 🤸‍♀️✨

Vestibular input (movement input) plays a powerful role in regulation.

🔄 Fast, unpredictable, spinning movement → alerting
🌊 Slow, rhythmic, linear movement → calming
⬆️ Up-and-down movement → can be organizing or alerting depending on intensity
🌀 Rotational movement → highly stimulating (and needs to be monitored!)

Every child responds differently — it’s about finding the just right input for their nervous system 💛

Stay tuned to learn how to use movement intentionally at home or in the classroom!

Like a 🥤 Coke bottle that’s been shaken all day… sensory input builds up quietly. By the time the cap comes off at home 🏠, the fizz spills out 💥. This isn’t bad behavior — it’s the Coke bottle effect: overstimulation + deregulation finally finding release 💡❤️.

✨ What to expect from your 3-month-old & how to support their development ✨

At 3 months, your baby is becoming more alert, curious, and interactive with the world around them. Here’s what you may notice and how you can encourage their development:

👶 Raising their head during tummy time – Your baby may lift their head to about 45° (or higher) while on their tummy. Encourage this with daily tummy time and engaging face-to-face interaction.

👀 Tracking objects – They can follow moving objects or faces with their eyes. Use colourful toys, slow movements, and talk while they watch.

✋ More exploratory hand use – Hands are opening more, moving toward objects, and often going to the mouth. Offer safe toys with different textures to explore.

🧸 Early self-soothing – Some babies may suck their hands or fingers to calm themselves.

😊 Social engagement – More smiling, cooing, and responding to familiar voices. Talk, sing, and respond to their sounds.

💪 Improved head and neck control – Better control when supported in sitting and during carrying.

🔊 Responding to sounds – Turning toward voices and showing interest in different sounds.

Did you know? 👣

Toe curling in babies can be a subtle sign of overstimulation. When their little nervous systems are overwhelmed — by too much noise, light, or activity — their bodies might react in small ways, like clenching fists or curling toes.

✨ What to do:

• Gently remove your baby from the stimulating environment
• Offer calming input: soft music, dim lights, or skin-to-skin contact
• Go outside
• Watch for cues — every baby is different!

Tuning into these tiny signals helps build trust and supports your baby’s regulation from the very beginning 💛

Ever feel like there’s just too much advice out there? 😅

Everyone’s got tips on milestones, sensory play, or routines — but figuring out what actually works for your baby (and your day) can feel impossible.

As an Occupational Therapist who specialises in Early Childhood Intervention — and as a mom — I know that real progress happens in the ordinary moments.

That’s why I offer live online 1 on 1 coaching sessions — simple, practical guidance in real time via Google Meet.

We’ll use your baby’s own environment and daily routines to:
🌿 Support regulation and connection
💛 Understand their sensory needs
🌈 Promote milestones naturally

No special toys or setup. No extra pressure. Just connection, learning, and play — right where you already are.

For only R1200 per month (4 x 30 min sessions). Sign up now and receive your first session FREE! WhatsApp ‘Baby’ to 0836161662 to sign up or for more information.
