Why Babies Kick, Wiggle, and Move So Much

Those tiny kicks inside your belly are more than cute moments. They’re your baby’s first exercises.
Movement helps their bones, muscles, and even their brain develop.

When you move, your baby feels it — they learn rhythm, balance, and even the difference between rest and activity. After birth, the same continues: reaching, rolling, crawling — all of it is brain-building work.

Encourage movement, not perfection. Let your baby stretch, wiggle, and explore. Every motion teaches coordination, independence, and curiosity.
