Is it okay if my baby skips rolling and goes straight to sitting? I get this question a lot from parents who are wondering if rolling is an important milestone.

Have you ever woken up in the morning and had trouble turning your head because you slept funny? That tight, tense feeling in your muscles stops you from looking in a certain direction, and until you allow gentle movement or maybe even light massage, that feeling doesn’t go away.

With new walkers, there are all sorts of things we try… two of the most common ways a parent helps their new walker is by holding their hand and catching them when they fall.

Sitting! Such an amazing milestone for parents, because we can finally sit baby down and know they won’t just be laying on the floor.

As you get ready to celebrate Baby’s first birthday, they are working hard on more milestones.
