What experts say
Primitive reflexes are responsible for baby milestones, getting babies moving and are of major importance to your babies’ brain development and the development of their balance, muscle tone, head control, vision and even the development of how well they use their hands and feet.
Dr Jane Williams – Leading baby development expert
If babies and young children don’t have the movement opportunities and practice to learn to fully control the reflexes, the ‘retained reflexes’ can interfere with later learning and development.
Bindy Cummings – Child development expert and retained reflex therapist

Thank you for referring me to the website. This is a fantastic reference for first time parents as it covered great topics that we cannot find in parental books or the books are too wordy to read.
