We have created a new leaflet to help parents and carers support their baby’s motor development during play time and when carrying them.
The leaflet includes advice on how to carry your baby, tummy time, supporting your baby in a chair and nesting on their back.
These positions encourage head control; neck, shoulder and tummy strength; and joint movement.
The resource was created by our Children’s Physiotherapy Service, who would like to thank the family who were photographed for the leaflet.
These positions must only be done when your baby is awake and supervised.
The leaflet is available on our website, where it can also be downloaded and printed. You can find more information on our Children’s Physiotherapy Service on their web page.
