😳Noticed that your baby has a flat spot on the back of their head
🤔Wondering what can you do to improve your baby's flatten head shape?

👶🏻Positional Plagiocephaly is a condition characterised by the flattening of one side of a baby's head. This often happens when babies spend too much time lying on their backs during sleep or resting in the same position during awake time.

To prevent or improve Positional Plagiocephaly, here are 3 Strategies our Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists would recommend to families:

👶🏻1.Change baby's position regularly
Babies will tend to always roll onto that flat spot on the back of their head when lying on their back. To reduce the time spent on the flat spot, we encourage parents to place baby into different positions like side lying or side sitting to play, sitting on a high chair, or reclined on a baby bouncer.

👶🏻2. Strengthen baby's neck muscle
Along with a flatten spot on the back of their head, these babies tend to also have a tight neck muscle which limits their neck movements stopping them from turning away from the flat spot on the back of their head. As such, we recommend families to do Tummy Time with babies 1 hour, twice a day. Being on their tummy will reduce the time spent on their back as well as and pressure on the the flattened spot on the back of their head.

👶🏻3. Reduce time baby spends lying on their back
For baby's safety and prevention of SIDS, babies have to sleep on their back. However, when babies are traveling out and about, they do not need to be lying on their back in a pram. We recommend that families place baby in a pram without the bassinet attachment which would allow baby to be reclined rather than flat on their back in the pram seat.

If you are concerned about baby's head shape or you notice baby tends to look to one side more than the other, ring Sydney Kids Physio on 📱(02) 9790 4233 or DM us to find out how we can help correct your baby's head shape today!

Did you know that the brain is highly mouldable from birth to 5 years old?🧠

The most rapid period of brain development occurs in the first 3 years of life, where number of brain neural 🧠connections increases from approximately 2,500 at birth, to approximately 15,000 at two or three years old. 👧This amount is about twice that of the average adult brain.

During this period the brain has the ability to learn from experiences to create new pathways in the brain. This process is called neuroplasticity. This is why Early Intervention is so important in the first 3-5 years old a child's life.👶🏻

The environment in which a newborn is placed in impacts greatly on the type of experiences that the newborn is exposed to and therefore is able to learn from. 💪A newborn who is left in a cot most of the time with nothing to stimulate them, will not learn to focus with their eyes nor smile nor play with their hands. 😳While a newborn who is constantly being spoken to and has toys placed in front them to play with will soon learn to talk and smile and play. This is why Early Intervention works to help babies with special needs learn to move and talk.

So no matter what the medical team has predicted about your child's future, know that your child's brain has the ability to learn and change in the first 5 years, and Early Intervention works! 🚀🚀🚀Here at Sydney Kids Physio , we see many babies and children beat the odds and achieve what the medical team often predicts is not possible. There is no secret, it's brain neuroplasticity, Expert Paediatric Physiotherapy Knowledge, Early Intervention and Hard Work! 💪

Confused about when to start getting a pair of shoes for your child 👶🏻

The popular trend of thought is that barefoot walking is great for children to develop their foot muscles and by being able to directly feel the ground, provide feedback for balance. The argument against having shoes for children is that poor fitting shoes can be restrictive and cause damage to a child's growing feet 👣 As a result many parents avoid getting shoes 👟for their toddlers, and instead purchase thin leather soled decorative shoes or sock shoes for their toddlers.

However, often times, there are good reasons why shoes are actually better for your child 👶🏻 as they start to learn to walk.

Top 3 reasons why shoes are good for your toddler.

1. When your child has low muscle tone, they actually need more stability and support in their ankles and feet to help them improve their balance to learn to walk. In this case, good supportive shoes 👟 will help them to find their balance and learn to walk sooner.

2. When your toddler is walking well and their ankles are rolling in with their mid foot bones collapsing down. In this case, your toddler will actually be causing their foot bones to develop abnormally. A good pair of shoes will actually provide better support and prevent malformation of the foot bones. 👣

3. When your toddler has feet that turn in or out, causing them to trip on their own feet when walking. Wearing good straight-laced shoes 👟 will actually help to correct their feet and reduce the trips and falls.

Not all shoes are created equal, and finding the right shoes for your toddler can be challenging. That is why at Sydney Kids Physio, we have worked hard to source the right shoe supplier to provide us with a selection of supportive shoes for toddlers. We provide a thorough assessment of your child's feet, their walking patterns, and recommend the best type of footwear 👟for your child.

Let us help you take the stress out of shoe shopping for your toddler's first shoes today! If you have concerns about your toddler's feet, ring Sydney Kids Physio 📱on (02) 9790 4233 or DM us to speak to one of our Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists today 😊

👶🏻Does your baby enjoy being in the Baby Bouncer?
😬Do you leave your child in the Baby Bouncer while you are busy with the housework?

Baby Bouncers are reclined seats that allow babies to bounce gently when they kick their legs or move their bodies. Generally, they are intended for newborns up to around 6 months old or until the baby can sit up unsupported. Baby Bouncers can be helpful for babies with reflux as well as preventing flatten head shapes by having baby reclined at 45 degrees when lying on their back.

However, a common mistake we see parents making is they tend to use the Baby Bouncers for babies long after they are 6 months old. There are 3 reasons why we would recommend that families wean babies off the Baby Bouncer;

🥴1. Delay In Baby's Gross Motor Skills
When babies are left in Baby Bouncers for a lot of their day, over time, they learn to bounce themselves to cause the bouncer to rock. As a result, some babies end up learning to move around a room by bouncing themselves forward on their bottoms instead of crawling forward. This leads to delayed gross motor skills.

🤕2. Injury As A Result Of Falling Over
Babies who are over 6 months old, tend to be too big and heavy for the Bouncer seat so they can over balance when trying to reach outside the base of the Baby Bouncer. Babies at 8-9 months tend to be learning to crawl so they would to want to get out of the bouncer to explore their environment which often results in falling over with the Bouncer.

😬3. Maladaptive Movement Patterns
Parents are often pulling baby forward by their hands to elicit the "tummy crunch" movement when baby is in the Bouncer. These movement patterns are actually not functional and can actually inhibit babies from learning to sit up by themselves.

So if your baby is over 6 months old, it's time to pack away the Baby Bouncer.

😳Have you noticed that your little one has overlapping toes?
🤔Wondering if your child's overlapping toes are an issue that needs correcting?

👶🏻Overlapping toes in babies, also known as congenital overlapping toes, is a condition where one or more toes of a newborn appear to cross over or under adjacent toes. The exact cause of congenital overlapping toes is not always clear, but it may result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. In some cases, it may be related to the position of the baby's feet in the womb during development.
In many instances, congenital overlapping toes are a benign and self-resolving condition. As the baby grows and becomes more active, the toes often straighten out on their own, and the condition resolves without the need for treatment.

🥴However, if the overlapping toes persist or cause discomfort or difficulty in the baby's movement, it's essential to have baby assessed by an Expert Paediatric Physiotherapist.🤓 If required, conservative treatment can include taping, toe separators, stretches, exercises and orthotic footwear.

For little ones 👶🏻under 12 months old, stretches and K-Taping are most effective. Taping can gently guide the toes into a more appropriate position, helping to realign them. By separating the overlapping toes, taping can reduce the pressure and friction between them, providing relief and preventing skin problems. Consistent taping over a period may help the soft tissues and ligaments adapt, leading to improved toe alignment.

For little ones over 12 months old, orthotics shoes 👟and K-Taping are most effective.

😬Have you been told that your child has Severe Global Developmental Delay and they will probably never be able to talk or walk.
🥺Perhaps your child has had brain scans that indicate abnormalities in their brain structure and the doctors say it's likely they will never be more than 10% of other typically developing children.

If you answered Yes to the above statements, you are not alone. Here at Sydney Kids Physio, our Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists 🤓often hear parents report that the doctors would have made these predications based on baby's brain scans or the history of baby's birth and developmental progress in the first 12 months of their life.

😀The brain's remarkable ability to adapt and form new neural pathways means that, with the right stimulation and Early Intervention Therapies, children can significantly improve their functional abilities. This was demonstrated in the case of Ms H, a baby who began her journey at the clinic at 14 months old with severe developmental delays. She was unable to roll, sit, crawl, or bear weight on her feet. She also lacked eye tracking, vocalisation, and had stiff limbs with poor head movement. Ms H commenced an Intensive Early Intervention program, receiving paediatric physiotherapy four times a week. The therapy focused on building her core strength, enhancing eye contact, encouraging vocalisation, developing gross motor and feeding skills.

Now at 3 years old, Ms H has made significant progress—she can walk using a harnessed treadmill and with manual support. While she remains severely delayed in speech, with "Ma ma" being her only spoken word, her gross motor improvements highlight the profound impact of timely, expert intervention.

When Ms H was reviewed by her Neurologist, he was impressed and surprised by her progress. 💪Ms H will still need ongoing Paediatric Physiotherapy to help her achieve her best potential.

Have you been told that children with Down Syndrome will be delayed in their gross motor skills, fine motor skills and speech and language skills😳
Have you been told not to expect too much from children with Down Syndrome and at best they can expect to carry out simple jobs as adults 🤨

If you answered yes to any of the above statement, then you need to read on! Here at Sydney Kids Physio, 🤓we believe that with the right Early Intervention, children with Down Syndrome 👶🏻 are capable of achieving their gross motor skill milestones like typically developing children. In fact, we believe that children with Down Syndrome 👶🏻are able to achieve anything they and their families aspire for them, be it becoming a world class dancer, a renown artist, a teacher, an actor, a model or a politician. The possibilities are endless. 🚀🚀🚀

The key 🔑to achieving life's full potential for a child with Down Syndrome is the same as for any other typically developing child. We first must start with a dream to aim for. Then we invest the time 🕰 and energy towards achieving that dream using short term and long term goals. Every time we achieve a goal, we reset and establish a higher goal. Repeat frequently and persistently for a life time.

While the core steps to achieving a successful life are similar for all children, implementation varies individually, especially for children with Down Syndrome. These children often need more intensive and consistent practice due to low muscle tone, and they may face additional medical conditions that require specialist monitoring and management.👨‍⚕️Other than that, there is no reason to assume that 👶🏻children with Down Syndrome are not capable of achieving developmental milestones at the same rate as typically developing children.

If you have a child 👶🏻with Down Syndrome and you would love to see your child live to their full potential, ring Sydney Kids Physio 📱on (02) 9790 4233 or DM us to speak to one of our Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists today.

🥳is your little one celebrating their first birthday soon?
🤔Wondering what's a great gift to get your grandchild for their first birthday?

🎂Turning 1 is such a wonderful milestone and an occasion worth celebrating! Along with the party preparations and invites, is the question of what gifts to get your precious one year old.

As Paediatric Physiotherapists, we are often asked is "What's a good present for my 1 year old?" And because we are always thinking about gross motor skills and promoting a child's development, here are our Top 3 gift ideas for a 1 year old child:

1. A Ride On Toy Car🚗
We love ride on toy cars where a little one can straddle across the seat and learn to push themselves along with their legs. This allows little ones to learn to push one leg alternately to the other, so they learn to strengthen their leg muscles while learning to coordinate their legs with their trunks upright. This is great for little ones who are not yet walking by themselves, but also great for little ones who can walk by themselves as it prepares them for the next skill of bike riding in the next 12 months.

2. Push Along Walker🚶‍♂️
Push along walkers are great for little ones to give them more opportunity to practice pull to stand to walk around a room. So if your little one is able to cruise around the furniture but not yet taking steps by themselves, a push along walker will help your child explore across the room instead of crawling across the room.

3. Standing Play Kitchen/Tool Workshop👩‍🍳
Imaginary play with a kitchen set or tool workshop is a great opportunity to have little ones learn pull to stand and standing balance as they play. These play sets also encourage imaginary and social play that is crucial for their development in the next 24 months.

Happy Shopping!
