Part 2 of the “Is My Baby’s Development Normal?” Mini-Series

What happens when a milestone disappears from the checklist?

In this episode, we’re digging into a surprising decision: the CDC no longer considers crawling a core developmental milestone. 

But does that mean it’s no longer important?

Absolutely not.

With 35+ years of clinical experience in early childhood development, I’ll walk you through why crawling still plays a crucial role in brain development, sensory integration, coordination, and even future learning. 

We’ll explore the sequence of gross motor milestones—tummy time, rolling, crawling, standing, and walking—and how each one builds the foundation for what comes next.

You’ll also learn:

  • Why some babies skip crawling (and what to watch for)
  • How early movement impacts speech, attention, and emotional regulation
  • What you can do today to support your baby’s development—no fancy toys required

If you’ve ever wondered whether your baby is on track—or why movement matters at all—this is the episode for you.
