Tiny Heroes sometimes have delays in their gross motor skills, but with some help early on, they can easily catch up in no time. Remember, these delays are typically not due to CDH itself. Here are a few fun activities you can do at home to help with any delays your child may be experiencing.

Sensory play doesn’t have to be hard or complicated. It can be easily accomplished through play using basic items in your home or your backyard! Remember to have fun with it too!

When a baby spends a great deal of time in the hospital early on with many altered sensory experiences, it may lead to delays in oral and fine motor skills. It is essential to give your CDH baby a lot of sensory experiences and work on building up strength in their hands to combat any potential delays they may have.
