BoBaby! FAQs

All babies develop at different rates, and typical child development has many variations. When a baby isn’t meeting their expected milestones, you can seek information from your Health Visitor or your GP or you may be referred to a Paediatrician for further assessment. If you’re unsure what you can do to help your baby’s development, we can offer support and guidance.

If your baby has had a stormy start in life, they may be at risk of having difficulties in their development. So, if you are waiting for a diagnosis or have been recently diagnosed, we are here to advise and support you in meeting  your little one’s needs.

Cerebral palsy is one of many diagnoses that can affect child development. Global delay, developmental delay, Down’s syndrome, Prader-Willi Syndrome and other genetic conditions, can present many challenges. 

BoBaby is inclusive for all babies with developmental delay as not all difficulties will relate to motor development. So, our support to your baby reaches beyond that need, with guidance on communication, feeding, sleeping and stimulating play.
