Tiny Bodies, Big Moves: Baby Development & Movement Myths with Shivani Rami


Listen Later

Season 3, Episode 5: Is my baby behind? Should they be rolling, crawling, walking by now? Or are they just taking their sweet time? The comparison game can feel endless and Instagram doesn’t help.

In this episode, we sit down with pediatric physical therapist Shivani Rami, PT, DPT, founder of Wiggles Therapy (@wiggles.therapy), to get real about baby milestones, motor development, and why early intervention matters.

We cover:
• Why tummy time is foundational (and why not all tummy time counts)
• The signs and treatment of torticollis (aka the flat head/neck tightness struggle)
• Common developmental delays and when to actually worry
• Crawling: why it still matters even though the CDC dropped it
• W sitting, toe walking, and what they reveal about your child’s core strength
• Practical, everyday tips to support your baby’s movement at home

Whether you’re panicking at a family party because your baby still isn’t crawling or just want tools to support their growth, this episode will make you feel seen and remind you that milestones are a range, not a race.
