Changing their nappy can help to develop your baby’s head and neck muscles

What to try 

• During nappy changing time, show your baby what you are doing and using.  
• Exaggerate your movements throughout. For example, when you take off the nappy and place it in the bin, slowly show your baby the nappy and how you move it to one side.  
• Tell your baby every part of what you’re doing and slow the pace right down to allow them to follow. 
• You can involve their senses by bringing clean items to their hands so they can feel them. 
• Be slow and playful in your movements to encourage your baby to gently move their head.
