🥴Is your baby vomiting 30 minutes to 1 hour after feeds?
Do you find yourself saying that all your babies are happy chuckers?🤮

It is not typical for a baby to vomit after every feed. Occasional spitting up or mild regurgitation is common in infants, especially in the first few months, as their digestive systems are still developing. However, frequent or forceful vomiting could indicate an underlying issue. 🥹

Here are some potential causes and considerations:
😬Overfeeding: Babies may vomit if they are fed too much or too quickly.
😬Reflux: Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is common in infants and can cause vomiting. Most babies outgrow this by their first birthday.
😬Allergies or Intolerances: Milk protein allergy or lactose intolerance can cause vomiting after feeds.
😬Infections: Gastrointestinal infections or other illnesses can lead to vomiting.
😬Pyloric Stenosis: This is a condition where the passage from the stomach to the intestines is narrowed, causing forceful vomiting. It typically appears in the first few weeks of life.
😬Feeding Position: Feeding in a position where the baby swallows too much air can cause discomfort and vomiting.
😬Play Positions: Placing baby on their tummies to play immediately after a feed is more likely to cause baby to vomit due to the pressure on their tummy.

Here are some strategies which our Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists at Sydney Kids Physio recommend to our families:
😊Burp Your Baby: Burp your baby several times during and after feeding to release any trapped air.
😊Feed Smaller Amounts More Frequently: This can help if overfeeding is an issue.
😊Keep Baby Upright: Keep your baby upright for 20-30 minutes after feeding.
😊Check the Formula: If you're formula-feeding, ensure you're using the correct formula and mixing it properly.

If you are concerned about your baby constantly vomiting after feeds, speak to your Paediatrician or reach out to Sydney Kids Physio on📱 (02) 9790 4233 or DM us to speak to one of our Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists today!

When Is It Time to Change Physiotherapists?

Not all therapy is effective therapy.
If your child has been attending weekly paediatric physiotherapy for months with NO meaningful changes in movement, engagement, or participation — it's okay to question whether the approach is working.
💡 Play-based therapy does NOT mean letting a child do anything they want for 30 minutes with no therapeutic goal.

Good paediatric physiotherapy should still have:
✔️ Structure
✔️ Purpose
✔️ Measurable progress
You are not a difficult parent for wanting better outcomes for your child.
👉 If something feels stuck, seek another opinion.

Did you know that Baby Walkers DO NOT help Babies 👶🏻 walk earlier🤔
Research shows that Baby Walkers are not beneficial to a baby's gross motor development, and in fact may delay the development of independent walking in infants. 😳😳

Here are 3 Top Reasons to avoid Baby Walkers and Jolly Jumpers 😳

1. When babies 👶🏻 are placed in baby walkers or jolly jumpers, they are missing out on the time that should be spend on their tummies on the floor learning to roll, sit, crawl and pull to stand. Studies have shown that babies who use jolly jumpers repeatedly for 15 minutes or longer are delayed in achieving independent walking. 😱

2. Baby walkers are the leading cause of head injuries in children under 5, 🤕often due to falls down stairs or pulling down objects from high surfaces. Jolly jumpers also pose risks, with injuries occurring when babies collide with doorframes, are pushed by other children, or fall due to snapped laces.

3. Baby walkers and jolly jumpers encourage babies 👶🏻to arch and tiptoe, which can delay walking and promote toe walking. This abnormal movement pattern can lead to tight calf muscles, reduced ankle mobility, and long-term issues with running, balance, and coordination. Over time, it may also cause knee and back pain in adulthood. 😖

So if you have a baby walker or jolly jumper at home, it's time to throw them out.

If you have any concerns about your baby's gross motor skills development or have noticed that your child is toe walking, ring Sydney Kids Physio 📱on (02) 9790 4233 or DM us to book an appointment with one of our Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists today.

😬Is your baby 6 months old and still yet rolling over by themselves?
🤨Have you been told to carry out exercises to cross baby's arms and legs to help baby learn to roll over?

Typically developing babies 👶🏻should be rolling over from tummy to back and back to tummy independently by 6 months old. Sometimes babies are delayed in their gross motor skills and not yet rolling efficiently by 6 months old and parents have been advised by various therapists to carry out cross body exercises like crossing babies arms and crossing babies legs while they are lying on their back. However there are no research evidence found to prove that performing cross body exercises actually helps babies to learn how to roll.😲 As such, it is no surprise if you have been doing cross body exercises and not seeing any progression in your baby's gross motor skills.

Instead of cross body exercises, it is more effective to have your baby assessed by an Expert Paediatric Physiotherapist 🤓who can determine the underlying cause for your baby's gross motor skills delay. Here at Sydney Kids Physio, our Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists see many babies who are delayed in their gross motor skills and not yet rolling at 6 months old. The cause of their delay can vary from baby having low muscle tone or high muscle tone or Torticollis or visual impairment or even lack of opportunity to play on the floor. Depending on the cause of baby's gross motor skills delay, specific exercises and physiotherapy programs will be designed for the baby.

When carried out effectively, we often see babies learn to roll within 1 to 2 weeks of starting Early Intervention Paediatric Physiotherapy here at Sydney Kids Physio. 😊

If you are concerned that your baby is not yet rolling, reach out to Sydney Kids Physio on 📱 (02) 9790 4233 or DM us . Our Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists would love to help your baby learn to roll today!

🥺Been told that your child👶🏻 has low muscle tone but yet they seem stiff when you try to help them move
🤨And in fact when you have a feel of their muscles, they feel quite tight

🧐Did you know that children with low muscle tone can still have stiff tight muscles?Here at Sydney Kids Physio, our Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists 🤓see many babies and children with low muscle tone and delayed gross motor skills development. A common observation that parents make is that they notice that their child can get very stiff when they try to get baby to sit or stand or when little one grows older and walks they seem to be very stiff and robotic. In fact, parents would report that their toddlers often complain of leg pain and their muscles feel tight and stiff. Yet these parents have been told by their Paediatrician that their little one has low muscle tone. So who is right, parents or the Paediatrician?🤔

In truth both the parents and Paediatrician are correct about little one's muscle tone and muscle integrity. A little one can have low muscle tone and have tight stiff muscles at the same time.

One reason why baby can have both low muscle tone and stiff muscles is because a baby with low muscle tone tend to have weak tummy, back, leg and arm muscles which is why they struggle to sit upright or crawl or walk by themselves. Instinctively, baby will try to tighten up all their muscles to try to stay upright in sitting or to crawl or to walk. In doing so, over time, little one's muscles become too tight and stiff. 😳

Another reason why baby can have both low muscle tone and stiff muscles is because of neurological conditions that can cause the muscles to make involuntary movements between sudden stiff movements to being floppy at other times. 😳

If you are concerned about your 👶🏻child's movement patterns or muscle tone, it is best to speak to an Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists 🤓so that they can carry out a full assessment and help your child learn to move better.

🥺26th May 2026 is National Sorry Day.

National Sorry Day, or the National Day of Healing, is an annual event that has been held in Australia on 26 May since 1998. The event remembers and commemorates the mistreatment of the country's Indigenous peoples, as part of an ongoing process of reconciliation between the Indigenous peoples of Australia 🇦🇺and the settler population. It gives Australians a chance to come together and share the steps towards healing for The Stolen Generations, their families and communities. The "Stolen Generations" refer to Indigenous Australians who were forcibly removed from their families and communities.

It is observed before National Reconciliation Week, which is a time for all Australians to learn about their shared histories, cultures, achievements and to explore how each Australian can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as they move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community, and Aboriginal and Torres Straits Islander peoples.
