BabyGym with Cornelia, Ermelo

LATEST SUCCESS STORY:
Tuesday Afternoons with Hamna, by Zeenat Sirkhot

Quite some time ago, I received a phone call from Hamna’s mum enquiring about BabyGym. The first thing I asked her was “how old is your baby?” expecting the usual answer “3- 6 months”, but no, I was told she is 3 years old and Autistic...

We finally began the first lesson, I was scared and didn’t know what to expect. Hamna was hyperactive, jumped around the room, and made an agitated sound. She tried to pull my head scarf off and I had to block my eyes, she would also start to throw herself at her mum, signalling the end of the session. Through this entire time Hamna’s mum was absolutely amazing; she persevered and kept on massaging her. By the 5th week of BabyGym, we were doing ‘Week 3’ of the BabyGym programme and that is where we started to see drastic changes in Hamna’s behaviour. She calmly sat with us on the floor, while we did the exercises, allowing her mum to massage her and to give her different things to ‘taste and smell’. When I walked away from the day’s session I had tears in my eyes; I had never felt so fulfilled in my life; it was the first day Hamna made eye contact with me, she participated so well and she even gave me a greeting hug and kiss.

Has your baby done TUMMY TIME today?

"The core muscles are the neck, tummy and back (abdominal) muscles, as well as the stabilising muscles that prevents baby from toppling over sideways. It is typically these muscles that a Pilates instructor, physiotherapist or occupational therapist would initially target to develop because the core muscles act as the foundation muscles for all other muscle groups. The muscles of the shoulders, arms and hands as well as the hips, legs and feet can only develop once the core is strong and stable. Core stability is needed before a baby a baby can naturally roll over, sit, crawl, feed himself or walk."

NUUTSTE SUKSESSTORIE!

Klein Mieke Beeslaar is op 22 Maart 2013 na ‘n swangerskap van slegs 27 weke gebore. Sy was met geboorte baie klein en het net 900gram geweeg, maar sy was ‘n regte klein vegtertjie! Mieke moes amper 3 maande in die intensiewe eenheid deurbring en het ‘n langpad na groei en ontwikkeling vorentoe gehad; Mieke is eers ontslaan toe sy 2kg geweeg het. Vanweë die feit dat Mieke 3 maande vroeg gebore is, is sy sonder ‘n volledige ontwikkelde velletjie gebore, sy het dus op belangrike ontwikkeling binne die baarmoeder uitgemis.
