Side-lying is still an important play position at this age because it builds core strength and balance. It also presents an opportunity for your baby to bring their hands to midline, reach in front of them, and prepare to roll ❤️

• Use a book to hold your baby’s attention as they play on their side.

• If they need some help to stay steady, support their back with your hand, legs, or a rolled-up blanket.

• As you read and point to the pictures, your baby may reach across their body to touch the page; this movement will help them get comfortable with rolling onto their tummy if they’re still working on this skill.

When your baby wants to play, a baby bouncer is a great activity that can make lots of giggles. Most babies love the springy motion of a baby bouncer. Remember these tips:

• Always keep a close eye on your baby while in the baby bouncer

• Baby bouncers should always be placed on the floor; never an elevated surface

• Never let a baby sleep in the bouncer

Your baby is figuring out that their legs and feet are parts of their body. When they kick, they start to understand that their body can create noise or movement. They are also building important neck strength by tucking their chin to look down at their legs and feet. This “chin tuck” helps build strength for rolling over from back to side, and then eventually from back to belly.

Try this out:

Have you ever noticed your baby become more alert when you take them outside? Fresh air and sunshine have well-documented benefits, but being outside is good for your baby in other ways too. Their senses are stimulated by the visual contrast of trees or buildings against the sky overhead, a breeze on their face, and new scents and sounds. Spending time outside can also improve language skills—and maybe even their sleep.

Remember: New sensations lead to brain development
