E14: Why I Do What I Do: A Paediatric Physiotherapist’s Journey Into Baby Development and Bonding.

In this end-of-year episode of the Best For Baby Podcast, paediatric physiotherapist Lisa shares her personal journey and explains how to support baby development naturally through connection, positioning, and parent-led care. This episode explores Lisa’s path from training in South Africa to working in intensive care and private hospitals in London, and how these experiences shaped her approach to early intervention for babies and baby physiotherapy in the first year of life. You’ll hear powerful stories that explain why baby bonding and attachment, touch, and movement are just as important as milestones — and why many common baby issues, including baby head shape problems, are often preventable with early support. Lisa also shares her experience of becoming a mother later in life, navigating postnatal depression, and discovering first-hand how overwhelming it can feel to follow expert advice in the early days. This insight now shapes the way she teaches parents how to support baby development naturally, using a less-is-more approach. In this episode, we cover: Why parent-led baby physiotherapy creates better developmental outcomes Why tummy time is important and how fear around tummy time impacts babies How chest naps and baby safety can coexist when done correctly The link between positioning, bonding, and preventing baby head shape problems How modern routines and equipment affect baby movement development This episode is for parents who are worried about development or head shape, or are looking for calm, practical guidance on supporting babies in a modern world. If you’ve ever searched for how to prevent baby head shape issues, why tummy time is important, or how to help your baby develop without stress, this episode will help you understand why early, gentle intervention matters.
