[@animalsandbabieschannel]

Thank you best doctor ever !

[@DrLaurenBaker]

You are so welcome :)

[@janetfister6290]

I noticed some of your videos that you have the baby doing the activity in their diapers. Is that so your audience can see the movements of the body or is it best for baby to minimally dressed while doing these exercises?

[@DrLaurenBaker]

Mostly so the audience can see the movement and because the babe had some postural concerns that I wanted to monitor closely and see their spine to make sure it was in alignment- having babies move in diapers can help them get more input though so it can be a really good way to incorporate movement but doesnt have to be done all the time. Sometimes cloth diapers can be a bit bigger so sometimes adding clothes on top can be a clothing restriction but not always.
I would say sprinkle it in but its not absolutely necessary
