Little Daisy Development

Hand fi***ng can be a normal part of infant development. A little hand fi***ng here and there is to be expected.

While occasional hand fi***ng is normal, predominant or more frequent hand fi***ng can be a SIGN OF BODY TENSION.

In order to support typical development we want to see a VARIETY OF HAND POSTURES and active hand opening to allow for sensory and motor exploration of the environment. When there is persistent or predominant hand fi***ng your baby may be MISSING OUT on some key early development opportunities.

IMPORTANT 👇

✨✨✨Hand fi***ng is often accompanied by OTHER SIGNS OF BODY TENSION✨✨✨

In this image we also see asymmetric posture with a head tilt. AND you can’t see it but he also had a tongue tie and many feeding difficulties. Is this sounding similar to your baby?

If you notice hand fi***ng DO SOME MORE INVESTIGATION👇

🖤Observe your baby for asymmetric postures like a head tilt or turning preference.

🖤Check to see that they have normal range of motion at their neck.

🖤See out how they do with tummy time.
