Helping babies learn early movement with tummy time coaching
This study teaches parents how to use tummy time and safe positioning, and it checks whether these changes support healthy early infant development. You might join if your baby is very young, you live nearby, and you can do online sessions by phone video.

This study looks at how infants’ movement (motility) and early thinking (cognition) develop over time. It may help researchers better understand normal development in healthy babies.
This study tests whether gentle touch and guided movement (tactile/kinesthetic stimulation) can help premature babies move toward safe oral feeding. It’s designed for babies who are stable after breathing support and whose care team has already decided to try feeding by mouth.
This study compares two kinds of home-based physical therapy (live video sessions vs. recorded sessions) for babies who were born early or with low birth weight and may have motor delays. The goal is to see which method helps improve your baby's movement and development.
This study tests whether education and early detection programs can help babies and toddlers (0-36 months) improve their motor skills. It includes workshops for parents and teachers, plus observations of infants up to 12 months old.
This trial tests an early intervention program called SAFE for babies aged 3–12 months who had complications at birth or were born prematurely. The goal is to help their brain and movement development through specialized therapy.
