The Founding Story
But in 2016, the topic came close to home with the birth of his first child. For the first time, Dr. LoRang was talking about baby-led movement as it related to his baby, with his family and friends. He and his wife, Abbie, quickly learned that friends and family understood and adopted this baby-led approach most readily when they could see it, rather than just hear about it. There was power in showing, rather than just telling.
That led to a lightbulb moment. Chris and Abbie envisioned a simple handout with clear images depicting the ideal and less-ideal postures Chris had been describing for years. So they set to work creating visual educational resources backed by developmental kinesiology and modern research.
In 2018, Chris presented their work with an academic poster at the Ancestral Health Symposium. Following the conference, photos of the poster quickly spread on social media. Abbie and Chris were contacted by clinicians, daycare providers, government workers, and caretakers from around the world asking for copies of these materials that they could share with parents they knew and worked with.
From there, Building Your Baby From The Ground Up was born.
As parents, Chris and Abbie understand the desire to see children succeed. That is why they founded this movement. Join them and help spread the word to help infants everywhere.
