In March of 2020, life presented a situation where infant motor development had to be tackled online as well. Fortunately, the physiotherapy specialist has already created her website (www.babamozgato.hu) a year and a half earlier, a site on which parents can receive age appropriate exercises for their baby, and mothers can exercise their children at home.

Edit Dankuliné Gazsovics physiotherapy specialist has been dealing with infant motor development for over two decades, and she treats little ones from North Buda to South Pest. In order to help parents, she summarized her practical professional experience and launched the babamozgato.hu website, which is available online at any time.

Edit Dankuliné Gazsovics physiotherapist has been working in Budatétény for 20 years. With the healthy motor development of infants in mind, she has launched the FittBaby program website, summarizing her professional experiences of the past two decades and encouraging parents to exercise their babies from the age of two weeks. 

Infancy is the most important time to build the right foundations. Genetics provides only a coarse sketch, but much of what the creation will look like depends on us.

In the days of our grandmothers, questions relating to newborn difficulties were answered immediately, as there was always a grandmother or a great-grandmother nearby. Today, however, new parents have to tackle the problems on their own during the initial, uncertain times. We usually get frightened if our baby cries a lot, and a myriad of questions arise in us.

I am launching a website for the FittBaby program, so it will help us exercise and move our babies safely from newborn to independent walking. We should not let our long-standing traditions disappear to the detriment of our babies, rather revive and use them now, supplemented with expertise.      

Difficulties during breastfeeding might be resulting from a problem with muscle tone in the baby’s face or neck. If this does not get solved in infancy but the mother switches to bottle feeding instead, then later in a toddler an abnormal spinal curve and problems with speech development might be expected. The baby prepares for the P, B and M sounds during suckling, and the T and D sounds by pushing the tongue forward. Read more about breastfeeding difficulties on the webpage, under “Motor Development Problems”! However, we can do a lot to loosen the facial muscles even from our home!  

Yes, because let’s just think about it, we are all able to dress and bathe our newborn baby from day one. With the help of baby gymnastics, we have the opportunity to move the tiny body that was so restricted inside the womb, and we can exercise his/her hips and even alleviate abdominal pain.

The foundation for the proper development and organization of the nervous system is the proper motor development in infancy. Our nervous system needs to compensate for incorrect forms of motion even in infancy, which leads to constant loss of concentration in other areas of development and maturation. By the time the child starts school, this can become an already established adaptation and learning difficulty. Let’s not risk all this! Let’s exercise our baby from the first weeks and so detect the small differences in time!
