First Year Foundations: 0–3 Month Developmental Guide

Your baby’s first 12 weeks aren’t just a waiting period - they’re a remarkable window for movement, connection, and nervous system development. This guide helps you understand what’s actually happening underneath the milestones.

Rooted in the Feldenkrais Method, three forces shape everything:

• Biology - your baby’s blueprint. We respect it, not fight it.
• Environment - surfaces, sound, light, sensory load. Small choices compound.
• Movement & connection - how you hold and position your baby daily. This is where you have the most influence.

What’s inside

• 3 movement protocols: chest-to-chest tummy time, gentle floor time, side-lying awareness - with step-by-step guidance and illustrations
• Real developmental ranges, not rigid deadlines
• How your nervous system shapes your baby’s brain
• Environment optimisation and screen guidance
• Specific signs to watch for and when to seek help
• Science notes in plain language

Who is this for

First-time parents, solo parents, and caregivers who want the best movement foundation for their baby - without the anxiety of milestone charts.

1–3 minutes at a time is all it takes.
