The information below reflects reference norms based on averages. Several factors can come into play and may positively or negatively influence motor development:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>your baby\u2019s baseline muscle tone,<\/li>\n<li>your child\u2019s temperament,<\/li>\n<li>the sources and frequency of stimulation,<\/li>\n<li>complications during pregnancy or delivery,<\/li>\n<li>the family environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Is my baby experiencing a motor development delay?<\/h2>\n<p>There are still general guidelines regarding when a baby should acquire a motor skill\u2014and, above all, a logical sequence of progression to follow. All babies should go through the same motor development stages, but not necessarily at exactly the same time. For example, your child may crawl on hands and knees at 11 months instead of the \u201cstandard\u201d 9 months. That doesn\u2019t necessarily mean they have a concerning motor development delay.<\/p>\n<h2>Pediatric physiotherapy<\/h2>\n<p>To find out, it may be helpful to have an assessment in <a href=\"https:\/\/physioextra.ca\/en\/expertise\/pediatric-physiotherapy\/\">pediatric physiotherapy<\/a> to determine whether this still falls within typical motor development, or whether exercises and additional follow-ups could be beneficial. In physiotherapy, we focus mainly on whether the child has the prerequisites needed to move on to a more advanced developmental stage. If they don\u2019t, we will work to provide extra support so they can develop smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to note that the greatest variability in children\u2019s motor development is seen between 9 and 15 months.<\/p>\n<p>If needed, explore our <a href=\"https:\/\/physioextra.ca\/en\/expertise\/pediatric-physiotherapy\/\">pediatric physiotherapy<\/a> services for your baby.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@mollo_urbania\/video\/7597481542889377036\" data-video-id=\"7597481542889377036\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\">\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@mollo_urbania\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@mollo_urbania?refer=embed\">@mollo_urbania<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Est-ce que les chaises vibrantes nuisent au d\u00e9veloppement de notre b\u00e9b\u00e9 ?

In practice, a 2-year-old with a 3-month delay would not be considered to have a motor delay, whereas a 6-month-old baby with a 3-month delay would be considered to have a significant delay. The younger children are (especially under one year old), the more consistent milestones should be and the more they tend to occur around the same time from one baby to another.<\/p>\n<p>For a premature baby, you should take their corrected age into account up to age 2. In other words, you use the expected due date to calculate age, as if the baby had been born on that date. For example, a premature baby who is 5 months of chronological age but 3 months of corrected age should follow the developmental milestones of a 3-month-old baby\u2014not a 5-month-old.<\/p>\n<div class=\"accordeons\">\n<div class=\"su-accordion su-u-trim\"><div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><h3 class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>1 month<\/h3><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<ul>\n<li>At this age, baby still sleeps a lot, even during the day.<\/li>\n<li>On their back, baby turns their head toward light and high-contrast black-and-white objects.

It\u2019s a baby we can place on the floor and who will move through the stages independently\u2014without the adult needing to do anything\u2014and do so earlier than average.<\/p>\n<p>For example, they might roll from back to tummy around 3 months instead of the usual 6 months, start crawling on hands and knees at 6 months (instead of 9 months), and pull to stand around 7 months to walk around 9 months (with independent walking typically between 12 and 18 months).<\/p>\n<p>But a word of caution: the goal is not for a child to be early, and we do not want to push them to go faster than their abilities. We can\u2019t decide our child will be quicker by stimulating them more\u2014this won\u2019t make it happen. Time is our best ally, and each child develops at their own pace. Once independent walking is achieved and later in motor development, a baby who walked earlier won\u2019t necessarily be more stable or better at sports than a baby who walked a little later.<\/p>\n<h2>How can you support a baby\u2019s motor development?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Place baby on the floor (on an activity mat or foam puzzle mat) from an early age, alternating between back and tummy. This helps them learn to move against gravity and gives them full freedom of movement.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid placing them most of the time in \u201ccontainers\u201d (swing, vibrating seat, Snuggle Me-style pillow, etc.), because they can move less in these devices and see less of their environment. <a href=\"https:\/\/physioextra.ca\/conseils-sante\/accessoires-bebe\/\">Read our article on baby accessories.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Keep in mind that 15 to 30 minutes at a time won\u2019t cause harm either and can help you make dinner or take a shower.<\/li>\n<li>If you can\u2019t place your child on the floor because they cry, a physiotherapy visit can be helpful to get tips specific to your baby\u2019s situation.<\/li>\n<li>To help them move freely, leave them in a diaper (no pants and no socks) or avoid pants and pajamas that are too tight and prevent lifting the legs into the air.<\/li>\n<li>Use one toy at a time instead of placing many around them. One toy encourages them to work to reach it rather than always grabbing the closest one. <a href=\"https:\/\/physioextra.ca\/en\/health-tips\/baby-toys-0-12-months\/\">Read our article on toys for babies.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Consult <a href=\"https:\/\/physioextra.ca\/en\/expertise\/pediatric-physiotherapy\/\">pediatric physiotherapy<\/a> if you notice their development seems delayed compared to typical norms. A physiotherapist can suggest exercises, games, and movements to practice at home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What are the main motor mevelopment milestones and their typical ages?<\/h2>\n<p>Here is an overview of major milestones and when most children should have achieved them.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tracking a high-contrast object by turning the head from right to left and back again while lying on their back: 2 months<\/li>\n<li>Bringing both hands together at the same time to the tummy or mouth while lying on their back: 3 months<\/li>\n<li>Holding a toy in the hand: 4 months<\/li>\n<li>Holding the head steady in sitting without bobbing: 4 months<\/li>\n<li>Holding the head upright while on the tummy: 4 months<\/li>\n<li>Grabbing the feet with the hands while on the back: 5 to 6 months<\/li>\n<li>Rolling from back to tummy: 6 months<\/li>\n<li>Rolling from tummy to back: 6 to 7 months (some babies roll accidentally from tummy to back around 2 to 3 months, but this isn\u2019t a voluntary roll\u2014it's usually the weight of the head that causes the roll)<\/li>\n<li>Lifting a hand against gravity to reach a toy while on the tummy: 5 to 6 months<\/li>\n<li>Sitting independently: 6 months (30 seconds to 1 minute)<\/li>\n<li>Sitting independently for several minutes: 7 months<\/li>\n<li>Pivoting (\u201cclock turning\u201d) while on the tummy: 7 months<\/li>\n<li>Getting into hands and knees from the tummy and rocking: 8 months<\/li>\n<li>Crawling on hands and knees: 9 months<\/li>\n<li>Getting into hands and knees from sitting: 9 months<\/li>\n<li>Pulling to stand from kneeling with support on furniture: 10 months<\/li>\n<li>Cruising sideways along furniture: 10 to 11 months<\/li>\n<li>Independent walking (without holding on): 12 to 15 months<\/li>\n<li>Standing up from the floor without support on furniture: 12 to 15 months<\/li>\n<li>Running: 2 years<\/li>\n<li>Two-foot jumping: 2 years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14819\" src=\"https:\/\/physioextra.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2.jpg\" alt=\"THE MAJOR STAGES OF \nMOTOR DEVELOPMENT\" width=\"600\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/physioextra.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/physioextra.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-60x150.jpg 60w, https:\/\/physioextra.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-768x1920.jpg 768w, https:\/\/physioextra.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-614x1536.jpg 614w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>For a premature baby<\/strong>, you should take corrected age into account up to age 2.
