Are you one of those moms, who looks forward to their little one’s milestones? Milestones are new beginnings as little ones roll over for little adventures. As your little one grows and starts to explore, every little moment feels delightful as you teach them.
If you want to boost your little pumpkin’s development, dive into the blog to unlock the secrets of achieving this adorable milestone of rolling over.
Ample of Tummy Time
Tummy time on a playmat or play gym can be a great start to practice rolling over. With a soft surface and lots of colorful cartoons, your little tutu will be entertained every time he will see them.
You can also keep little one’s fav stuffed toys around him on the mat, that’ll encourage him to move or roll around. It helps in strengthening the neck, trunk, and arms.
Some babies don’t like to be on their tummies, so you can try to alternate ways; have them chest to chest on you or your spouse or use a boppy pillow that’ll help pick up their head and look around out of curiosity.
Gradually increase their tummy time and soon you will see them turning from tummy to back by themselves.
Roll Over & Pick
Instead of picking them straight, try to roll on their side and then pick them up. Babies are born with clever reflux so when your baby is seated, you’ll gently roll them to the side. They’ll automatically align their head as their tiny body moves.
This strengthens the side muscles of their neck. It makes them habitual of pushing against the floor with their little arms during it.
You can also use a toy or sound that’ll ensure your baby turns their head and his body. This will initiate the rolling!
Trick with Toys
Every baby has their fav set of toys, that brings them joy and comfort. If your little bub has one, use it to encourage them to roll. It is a perfect idea for those babies who often get fussy during tummy times.
Wrapping Up…
Parenting is all about patience from burping them in the beginning them to encouraging to roll over on a soft surface like a playmat or play gym. As you achieve it, the excitement will rise as the world exploration and discovery open ups to your little munchkin.
