We have several podcast episodes on primitive reflexes and several episodes on infants. But we recently realized that we didn’t have an episode on how primitive reflexes in infancy are connected to developmental milestones!

So here it is! We talk about a variety of developmental milestones and how primitive reflexes are connected. Plus we give you some specific activity ideas to incorporate into infant and toddler play!
