Crawling engages your infant’s entire body 👶🏼 Therefore it requires a great deal of strength, coordination, balance & neurological maturity 🤩

The “cross crawl” pattern improves “communication” between both hemispheres of the brain - since opposite legs and arms move at the same time - the left & right brain operates in unison - both building & strengthening connections 🧠

This cross-lateral pattern of movement stimulates more complex brain and nervous system development and therefore is very important for integration of certain primitive reflexes 👶🏼

Try these 7 tips to prepare your baby for the all important cross crawling developmental milestone 👶🏽 🧠
