This is the first Root & Sprout parent resource. A companion mini-course exploring infant asymmetry, early development, and how to interpret your observations is currently being created.

A practical caregiver–healthcare communication tool for understanding your baby's movement, positioning, and early development

Includes:

• Infant Asymmetry Observation Guide
• Movement & Positioning Reflection Guide
• How to use the guides
• When to seek professional guidance
• Principles grounded in pediatric rehabilitation and family-centred care

Your baby’s body is constantly changing. Small preferences, asymmetries, and movement patterns are often part of the normal process of development. As a parent, it can be difficult to know:

“Is this normal?”

“Should I be worried?”

“Should I mention this to my healthcare provider?”

This toolkit was created to help you move from fear and uncertainty toward calm observation and meaningful conversation with your healthcare team.

Is this toolkit for you?

This resource may be helpful if you find yourself wondering:

• "Why does my baby always look to one side?"
• "Is my baby's head shape normal?"
• "What movements should my baby be doing?"
• "Should I bring this up with my healthcare provider?"

Created with a family-centred approach

This resource is grounded in principles consistent with contemporary pediatric rehabilitation approaches, including:

• caregiver observation
• developmental monitoring
• environmental modification
• collaborative communication with healthcare providers

It is not intended to diagnose a medical condition or replace professional assessment.

A note from Root & Sprout

The goal is not perfect symmetry.

The goal is a deeper understanding of your baby.

Every baby develops through thousands of moments of movement, connection, and interaction.

Your observations matter because you are the person who sees those moments every day ❤️
