Why it helps

The main strength program: neck, shoulders, core.

How to do it

  1. Firm blanket on the floor, baby tummy-down
  2. Get down to eye level — your face is the motivation
  3. Short and frequent beats long and tearful: build toward 3–5 minutes
Stop if you see

Stop before frustration boils over; a few grumbles are fine, distress is not.
