Why it helps
Builds trunk control with you as the safety frame.
How to do it
- Sit baby between your legs on the floor, your hands at the ribs
- Loosen support gradually as the back firms up
- Cushion the sides — wobbles and tips are the learning
Stop if the head consistently flops — more neck time first, sitting later.
