Let's rock – it’s a step towards crawling!

What to do 

• Lie your baby on their tummy, and gently place your hands around their hips.  
• Sing ‘Row, Row, Row Your Boat’, and very gently rock your baby backwards and forwards to the rhythm of the song. 
• If your baby is comfortable, choose another song to sing and rock along to. 

Good to know 

Here are the lyrics to ‘Row, Row, Row your Boat’ – there are more than you might remember! 

Row, row, row your boat 
Gently down the stream 
Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily 
Life is but a dream 
 
Row, row, row your boat 
Gently down the creek 
If you see a little mouse  
Listen to it squeak 
 
Row, row, row your boat 
Gently down the river 
If the river gets you wet  
Don't forget to shiver 

Row, row, row your boat 
Gently down the brook 
If you catch a lovely fish  
Let it off the hook
