By three months, your baby is more curious, expressive, and mobile. while you’re continuing to adapt in ways both physical and emotional. It’s a joyful time, but it’s also when subtle postural or movement issues may begin to appear in both of you.

Whether you’re a first-time mum or juggling a growing family, we’re here to offer personalised, gentle chiropractic care to support your family’s wellbeing.

👶 Baby's Month 3 Milestones

At this stage, your baby is becoming increasingly aware of their body and surroundings. You might notice:

💛 Common Developmental Highlights:

Rolling from tummy to back
Tracking objects and faces with their eyes
Exploring their hands and beginning to reach

These are signs of a developing neuromuscular system, and many parents enjoy watching their little one gain strength and confidence.

⚠️ When to Consider Further Support:

Some parents choose to seek guidance when they observe:

Frustration or resistance during tummy time
Consistently favouring one side of the head or body
Arching after feeds or appearing unsettled

If you have any concerns, speak to your health visitor or GP. Some parents also explore gentle assessment by a chiropractor trained in infant care. This does not replace medical care but may offer a supportive, light-touch approach focused on comfort and mobility.

Your body has done something extraordinary. And by this point, it may be signalling a need for deeper recovery support.

💛 You May Be Noticing:

Ongoing core weakness or disconnection
Shoulder, neck, or back tension from lifting, feeding, or co-sleeping
Emotional shifts or changes in self-image and energy

This is a common time for mums to begin light exercise, or re-engage socially - sometimes before their body has fully recalibrated.
