Strengthening Your Baby's Head!

We just met with the physical therapist that will be working closely with Emma. She showed us a couple of good tips to build the muscles in her neck. One of the ways is to put a rolled up towel or blanket under their chest and put their elbows right under them. To keep their focus on keeping their head up, try a mirror or a favorite toy in front of them so they will be a little happier on their tummy. When you notice your baby overstimulated with being on their belly, just roll them over and try again later. The last thing you want to do is cause them to dislike these exercises.
