Developmental Motion Delay

From the first head lift to the first steps, we help you track and support your baby's physical milestones.

In Plain English: Daily Life Observations

Gross Motor Red Flags

  • • Unsteady or refusing to walk independently by 15 months
  • • Extreme fear of stairs or small obstacles
  • • Frequent, unexplained falling while walking on flat ground

Fine Motor Red Flags

  • • Cannot stack two blocks by 18 months
  • • Unable to twist off a bottle cap or use a spoon
  • • Persistent trouble with simple 'release' (dropping) actions

How to Support Your Child

Early intervention is key. If you notice persistent delays, specialized therapies like Physical Therapy (PT) or Occupational Therapy (OT) can make a significant difference.

Motion Delay FAQ

When should I be concerned if my baby isn't walking?
Most babies start walking between 9 and 15 months. If your child is not walking by 18 months, it is recommended to consult a pediatrician for a developmental screen.
What is the difference between gross and fine motor skills?
Gross motor skills involve large muscle groups used for movements like crawling and walking. Fine motor skills involve smaller muscles, particularly in the hands and fingers, used for tasks like picking up small objects or drawing.
Can tummy time help with motor delays?
Yes! Tummy time is crucial for developing neck, shoulder, and core strength, which are the foundations for all subsequent motor milestones like rolling and sitting.
