lay on their tummy and lift their head
how to teach your baby to move
continuously in space

and regulating muscle tone
and improving movement in your baby's back
chest and spine your baby's development
stems from their ability to lay on all
sides of their body
this ability will help your baby at each
stage of development during their first years
for them to feel comfortable on their
sides it's important you help your baby
feel safe and flexible
so they can release any unnecessary
tension that is built up in their body
in this video our baby experiences
continued movement in space
and this movement is what develops our
baby's balancing system
the toning of their muscles and more all
skills that lead to laying on the
stomach comfortably
and lifting their head with confidence a
physical ball can act as a great tool
for relieving your baby's tension

flexibility in the back
chest and spine rest your baby on the
physical ball

move them on the ball
slightly forward slightly backwards
left and right slowly and gently with
you positioned behind them
make sure you hold both your baby's
hands and very gently lean on baby development

your body will help your baby
understand that their head can rest on
the ball and that they can relax their
back muscles
if your infant is tired they might even
fall asleep
during the following stage after your
baby has rested their head on the ball
comfortably
accompany the motion with gentle paths
in your baby's back

your baby's head softly without pressing

be aware to keep your movement very slow
monotonous
and accompany it with your voice and
touch be sure not to balance the
physical ball
instead guide your baby with very gentle
and monotonous movements
after your baby successfully rests their
head on the physical ball
you can turn them on their back do so by
holding them by their ribs
and turn them gently towards you now
place them back down by carefully
resting their head on the ball's tallest point
see that their legs are pointing up and
leaning against your stomach
hold your baby's thighs with two hands
and slowly slowly roll your baby forward
and back
several times make sure your baby's legs
and hips are lifted
up off the physical ball

this action will assist your baby to
learn how to lay on their stomach
and will prepare them for crawling at
later milestones
this also creates movement in your
baby's chest and exposes them to the
possibility of relaxation
by showing them they don't always have
to strain their muscles
rest is also important

chest you're teaching your baby to release
unnecessary tension again repeat the
back and forth motion

to sense the experience of movement in
space
and not to be afraid of change the
balancing experience

muscle tone that will lead to healthy
development
