Why it helps
Sets up the environment where the first roll can happen safely.
How to do it
- Clear floor zone, baby on the back
- Hold a toy above the chest, then move it slowly to one side at floor level
- Let the eyes, then shoulders, then hips follow — assist the last bit with a gentle hip guide if baby strains
Never leave mid-session — this is exactly the practice that produces surprise rolls.
