Newborn ab 17.jpg
This is a 3 weeks old infant.
  • When placed in the prone position with his face on the mat, he is able to turn the head to one side, but he doesn’t turn his head from side to side which he should be able to do.
  • His hips are too abducted so his pelvis is flat on the mat and he doesn’t bring his arms forward.
  • Overall he has fewer spontaneous movements than he should have.
