In this episode of Motherhood Aligned and Assigned, Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz explore the crucial developmental milestones in a baby's first year, particularly the transition from crawling to walking. They debunk the myth that children will naturally reach these milestones without guidance and emphasize the importance of chiropractic care in ensuring proper neurological development. They highlight how missing milestones can lead to future challenges like poor coordination and misdiagnosed conditions such as ADHD and dyslexia. Through real-life examples and expert insights, they discuss the implications of stressors from conception to adulthood, creating what they term 'the perfect storm' of developmental issues. They also explain the role of chiropractic care in normalizing the nervous system, setting a strong foundation for a child's lifelong health. Tune in to learn how you can better support your child's developmental journey and ensure they thrive, not just survive.
