What you need
- Music that is gentle and calm
What to do
- Support your baby to hold their body while they are in a crawling position.
- Once their body is stable, turn on the music.
- Place your hands gently around your baby’s waist and very gently move them forwards and backwards to the rhythm of the music.
Good to know
If they are enjoying it, you can also very gently support them in rocking from side to side to the beat. Talk and sing to your baby, perhaps make something up, like: “We’re moving to the music,” or “Look at us go forwards, look at us go backwards,” as your baby moves.
