Activity Suggestion 5
To encourage rolling from back lying to
tummy lying, place baby on his back
and bring his hands and feet together
in midline. Encourage him to roll to one
side into side lying. From this position,
help baby’s hips to turn slightly.
Supporting his hips, use an exciting toy
placed near his head to encourage him
to turn his head and reach for the toy.
Once baby’s head and shoulders turn,
baby will roll onto his tummy. Help him
prop onto his elbows to make sure his
airway is clear.
Activity Suggestion 6
Make rolling a little more difficult by
holding the lower half of the body
steady using your hands or the
positioning strap. Encourage the
child to roll leading with her top half.
Position toys just out of reach of baby.
As her top half turns, allow her lower
half to follow.
