Breaking it down – provide your baby with a shorter distance to travel when they sit down

What to try 

When your baby is standing, put some pillows and cushions around them so that when they try to sit down, they have a soft landing.  

The pillows and cushions have two purposes. The first is to cushion the landing in case they topple over. 

The second is to reduce the distance your baby needs to travel down before finding a surface to sit on. 

 

Good to know 

Your baby is still developing their balance, so don’t worry if they wobble a little when sitting on something soft like a cushion.
