It's always important to keep track of your baby's development as early detection and early intervention of delays are crucial. Read this guide for info on how to identify early delays in your child. "The goal of early detection is to have babies learn proper movement at its appropriate time of development. Research suggests it takes between 300-350 repetitions to build a new motor or movement pattern; however, it can take 3000-5000 repetition to re-train the proper movement. This means that it is much easier to learn to do something right the first time then try to correct something after it has already been learned." #developmentalpediatrics #developmentaldelay #pediatrics #pediatrician
