Study Details

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the impact of an educational intervention on infant motor skill development. The main question it aims to answer is: Question 1) Does exposure to an educational intervention on infant development positively impact infant motor skill development? Researchers will compare the intervention group to the treatment as usual group see if there are differences in infant motor skill development. The purpose of the proposed study is to determine if tummy time, play positions, screen time, and use of baby gear impacts early motor skill development in children. This is a Pilot study. A Pilot study is a small study that is carried out to collect information that will help in the planning of a larger study with the same topic.

Arms

  • No Intervention: Usual Care Group Receiving an Informational Tummy Time Brochure
    Usual care group will receive a brochure on the importance of tummy time and limiting baby gear.
  • Experimental: Parent Informational Session
    Parental education session that includes information and a video on avoiding screen time in the first two years of life, the importance and benefits of infants being exposed to tummy time, varying play positions and limiting time in baby gear. Additional information will be provided on the importance of implementing tummy time during the first month of life as well as different ways to implement tummy time and how to increase infant tolerance to tummy time. Parents in the Parent Informational Session can request a Zoom consultation with the Principal Investigator if the parents have questions or need guidance with implementing tummy time.
