Why it helps
Builds neck strength in the safest, cosiest spot — on you.
How to do it
- Recline at ~45° and lay your baby tummy-down on your chest
- Talk softly — your voice invites the head to lift
- Start with 1–2 minutes, a few times a day
Stop if baby fully falls asleep in this position — move to the crib on the back.
