Banana shape – or C-shape – is a preferred side challenge, where baby lies with their body curved to one side and the head tilted toward the same shoulder.
One side of the body gets too many motor signals (working overtime), while the other is inhibited and receives fewer.

It’s often seen together with a head-turning preference – and if the banana shape is pronounced, torticollis should always be ruled out.

But why is it important to address?

✨ The body’s midline ✨
Baby needs to feel where the center is – it’s the foundation for symmetrical movement and coordination.

✨ Neck and head development ✨
Uneven muscle pull leads to asymmetry, which can affect head control and movement patterns.

✨ Symmetrical motor skills ✨
Banana shape locks the body into one-sided movement patterns, which can delay or complicate milestones like rolling, belly crawling, and crawling. It often leads to one-sided belly crawling due to the strong pull on one side.

✨ Tummy time without tipping over ✨
Babies with a banana shape often tip over during tummy time. This limits important practice and can cause frustration.

Luckily, there’s a lot you can do – and you’ll find the right exercises in science-based the "Develobaby – Preferred Side" - exercise program.

“The Sensory Rock” is a little trick I’ve used with my own children and now use all the time in my clinic. It’s often super effective for calming a slightly unsettled baby.

When you bring your baby’s arms in close to the body, give light weight to the tummy and chest and gently rock the body back and forth, you will often find that your baby calms down. This resembles the feeling of being inside the womb and at the same time offers basic sensory stimulation.

If you want all my baby sleep tricks, including the best practice exercises for sensory stimulation, you will find them all in my bestselling online program “Develobaby - Sleep”.

Flat head syndrome (brachycephaly) is a concern for many parents.
In Denmark, helmet treatment is not considered best practice. As a pediatric physical therapist specializing in flat head syndrome for 17 years, I’ve encountered only two cases where a helmet was prescribed by a pediatrician.

Instead, the official best practice approach here is to educate parents on treating flat head through proper positioning and exercises.

The 5 key steps in treating brachycephaly are:

1. Teaching the baby to sleep with their head facing both sides, rather than keeping it in the middle.
2. Exercises for the rotational muscles to help the baby independently turn their head and body.
3. Positioning the baby to avoid pressure on the head during sleep.
4. Exercises and tips to encourage the baby to enjoy tummy time, reducing pressure on the head during waking hours.
5. Positioning the baby for back play without putting pressure on the back of their head.

🚫Early intervention is essential before the fontanelles (soft spots) close.

You can learn all these techniques in my exercise program, “Develobaby - Back Arching and Flat Head.” Comment ARCH for the link or go to bio! 🌸

(Note: If your baby has plagiocephaly (flat head to one side), instead choose the program “Develobaby - Preferred Side”.

A good habit to develop is picking your baby up sideways. Most babies can actively lift their heads sideways by around 8 to 10 weeks of age.

❗️Make sure your baby’s head does not hang down during the lift—support it with your fingers if necessary.❗️

Lift in a tipping motion rather than a straight upward lift, and do it as slowly as possible.

This simple daily habit will help strengthen the muscles your baby will need for rolling and crawling later.

It’s not uncommon for babies to experience motor restlessness that makes them wave and flail their arms and legs to help them feel the boundaries of their body and regulate their nervous system. But this can also significantly disturb sleep, and many babies constantly wake themselves up or have their sleep quality disrupted by those little arms that just can’t seem to settle.

Sometimes swaddling can solve the problem completely, but not all babies like being swaddled, and many manage to break out of pretty much any swaddle.

So what can you do? Well, you look at WHY baby is moving their arms in the first place. And the reason is that baby is trying to get the physical sensory input that comes from their arms bumping into something – the mattress, the side of the crib, or their face.

This need for physical sensory input can usually be satisfied during the day with simple and cozy sensory stimulation exercises, so the need is smaller when it’s time for baby to sleep.

My program containing these exercises is my most popular program, and parents in 60 different countries around the world have used it. If you’d like to try it too and get it at the old price while you still can, you can find it on my website or comment SLEEP for a direct link.

Motor development is not about teaching your baby to do things. It’s about giving them plenty of floor time and sometimes reminding their brain of what it already knows.

For most babies, things happen naturally as long as they get enough floor time. But some babies struggle a little to reach the next milestone. The first step when you want to help is often to remind the brain of movements it already knows but can’t quite seem to find on its own. The next step may be strengthening muscles, correcting asymmetry, or addressing whatever is making the movement difficult.

This exercise is a reminder for the brain. Move your baby’s legs like this again and again to help the movement become integrated.

This is my favorite stretch when a baby has both a preferred side when turning their head and a tendency to tilt their head to the opposite side.

This baby prefers looking to her right and tilts her head to the left. Playing like this for a few minutes can work wonders 😊

It’s actually quite common to get a little confused about left and right. So if you always have to stop and think for a moment before you’re completely sure which side you want your baby to look towards to help balance out a preferred side, you’re definitely not alone.

Here’s a very simple trick that can make it much easier:
Roll up the sleeve of your baby’s top or bodysuit on the side you want your baby to look towards. So if your baby prefers looking to the right, for example, roll up the sleeve on their left arm.

The rolled-up sleeve then works as your little reminder for the rest of the day.

Let me know if you’d like more simple tips for a preferred side.

With love,
Maria ♥️
