Wondering when your baby should sit up on their own? 🤔

It’s one of the questions I get asked most and honestly, it’s such an exciting milestone to watch unfold! Swipe through for a simple guide to what to expect and when ✨

The key thing to know is that sitting doesn’t just happen overnight. It builds gradually on all those earlier skills:
☁️tummy time
☁️rolling
☁️and reaching

So every minute of floor play really does count! Those wobbly attempts and little tumbles along the way? Completely normal and a sign that your baby is learning to find their balance 👶🏼

Every baby develops in their own time and at their own pace, so try not to compare. Celebrate the small wins instead, because there are so many of them 🎉

If you’re ever unsure about your baby’s development or something just doesn’t feel right, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I am always happy to chat and help put your mind at ease 🧡

One of my go-to tools in clinic right now for new walkers… 👣✨

I’ve been using sensory tiles with some of my little patients who’ve recently started walking - and they’ve been SUCH a simple way to build balance without it feeling like “therapy”.

We use them:
✨ barefoot (best for sensory input 👌)
✨ or with shoes on if needed - still works really well for balance

And the magic is in what’s happening behind the scenes 👇

✨ In the body: Those different textures challenge the feet and ankles in lots of tiny ways - helping build strength, stability and control. Perfect for those wobbly early walkers.

✨ In the brain: Every step sends loads of sensory feedback up to the brain - helping develop body awareness, balance and coordination.

✨ In practice: I’ll get little ones stepping, pausing, turning, even carrying toys across them - so they’re constantly adjusting and finding their balance without even realising it 💪

It’s one of those tools that looks like play… but is doing some really powerful work.

And d’ya know what? The kids LOVE them 😄

If you’d like to give them a try, don’t forget to use the code RVCP10 at checkout, or visit our Amazon Toy Shop via our link in bio and head to our Balance toys ☺️

🧠 Crawling might just be the most underrated thing your baby will ever do. 🍼

Swipe through to see everything that’s happening in that little body when your baby starts to crawl - it might actually blow your mind! 🤯

From building serious arm and core strength, to developing the hand arches that will one day help them hold a pencil - every single crawl is a full-body, brain-building workout. 💪

And those milestone guides - get them saved!! They’re a rough guide only - what I always tell parents is that progress, variety, and symmetry matter far more than hitting an exact age. Every baby has their own timeline, and that’s completely okay. 🌸

But if something feels off - trust that instinct. You know your baby best. The red flags on slide 10 are worth a look, and if you’re ever unsure, reaching out is always the right call.

There is no such thing as a silly question when it comes to your little one. 🙌

Drop a 🐛 below if your baby is in the crawling stage right now - I’d love to hear how they’re getting on!

And if this was helpful, save it to share with another parent who needs it. 💛

I still can’t quite believe I’m writing this… ✨

I’ve been nominated for the She Inspires Awards 2026 in Women in Health, Fitness & Wellbeing 💖

When I started RVCP, I genuinely just wanted to help children move better and support as many families as I could. I never imagined it would grow into this.

This nomination isn’t just about me.
It’s for every parent who’s trusted me with their child.
Every little milestone we’ve celebrated together.
Every child who’s worked SO hard and made progress in their own way 🥹

To all of my patients, families and clients - thank you. Truly. None of this would have even been possible without you!

I feel so grateful, proud, and a little bit emotional reflecting on the journey so far.

And whatever happens next… I already feel like I’ve won 🥹🤍

“Is my baby’s head shape normal…?” 🤔

If you’ve noticed a flat spot on your baby’s head and felt that little wave of worry… you are not alone! If I had a pound for every time I was asked about a baby’s head shape in a week, I’d be swizzing around in the Bahamas on a jet ski right now 😎🤣

… I jest 😉 But seriously, I get asked about this ALL THE TIME.

But never fear!
Flat head syndrome is actually really common… and in most cases, there’s lots you can do to help 🙌

I’ve put together a simple blog to talk you through it all:
• what it actually is
• why it happens
• when (and if) you need to worry
• and easy things you can start doing at home

Nothing complicated. Just clear, honest advice to help you feel more confident.

If it’s been on your mind, it’s definitely worth a read 👍

👉 Head to our link in bio (or website) to read the full blog 🌟

And if you still have concerns… you know where I am! ☺️💖

This is exactly why I do what I do 💖

I became a paediatric physio to help as many children as possible feel stronger, more confident, and able to enjoy movement in their everyday lives.

So when a parent takes the time to leave a review like this, it really does mean everything 🥹

Not just because it’s kind - but because it tells me that what I’m doing is making a real difference to a child and their family… and that’s always the goal!

Thank you so much for trusting me with your child’s journey and allowing me to be a part of their story✨”
