Is it too late if my baby is already older?

It's not too late, and there's a lot here for your baby right now. Baby Acrobatics covers the first 18 months, so a 7-month-old, an 11-month-old, and a 15-month-old each have content built for their stage. The program runs densest in the 3-10 month range, so an older baby has more of the early floor-time material already behind them. What's left for them is the part of the program written for where they are, and there's plenty of it.

You don't need to have started at birth. It's designed to be picked up at any point in that window.

How the program covers different ages

The exercises and weekly routine move through three stages as your baby grows:

• 0-6 months - early floor time, tummy time, rolling, reaching, head and neck control.
• 6-12 months - sitting, crawling, transitions, pulling to stand, climbing.
• 12-18 months - balance, walking, squatting, climbing, jumping prep, and the more acrobatic work.

So a 14-month-old hasn't aged out of anything. They're right in the stage the later exercises were written for. The newborn material is what they've moved past, not the program itself.

If your baby is 8-22 months

Most of the library still applies to your baby. Balance, climbing, hanging with an active grip, walking practice, and the acrobatic transitions all sit in the second half of the program, and that's exactly where an older baby starts. You'll spend less time on the early-stage exercises than a younger baby would, which is just what you'd expect.

If your baby is already walking confidently, the value shifts toward the balance and acrobatic work, since the crawling and rolling foundations are largely behind them.

Not sure which tier to start with? See The Blueprint vs Movement Mastery. The Blueprint ($49) gives you the full written library and 5 starter routines for a lower spend, and you can upgrade to Mastery later by paying the difference if you want the video course and adaptive weekly routine.

Finding the exercises that fit your baby

Inside the app, the Exercise Library helps you zero in on what's useful right now:

1. Open Exercise Library from the menu.
2. Use the phase filter (Connection, Warmup, Mobility, Strength, Acrobatic, Cooldown) to narrow by type, or use search to find an exercise by name.
3. If your baby's profile is set up, the library sorts the exercises that match their current stage to the top.
4. Tap the heart on any exercise to add it to Favourites so you can come back to it.

If you have Movement Mastery, the adaptive weekly routine does this for you. It reads your baby's birthdate and builds the week's set around their current stage, so you're not guessing.

A few practical notes

• Born early? Mark it on the child profile so the routine matches their adjusted age. Go to Settings, open or add the child, tick "My baby was born early (before 37 weeks)", and enter the gestational weeks. See Premature and corrected age.
• If you buy and the content doesn't fit your baby's stage, the 30-day refund applies, no reason needed. See How the refund window works.
• If your baby has a flagged developmental delay or a diagnosed condition, your pediatrician or PT is the right starting point, not this program. See When to consult your pediatrician, not us.

When this doesn't apply

If your baby is under a year and you're worried about being "behind" because you started late, you're not. The early material holds up from any starting point, and babies keep building motor skills well past their first birthday.
