Oh wow, I was sitting, and now I’m standing!

What you need 

• A piece of stable furniture 
• A favourite toy, object or comforter 

What to do 

1. Use a stable table, chair or unit that is low enough for your baby to pull up with.  
2. Place it in a space where you can position yourself behind the furniture and your baby in front. 
3. Use one of your baby’s favourite toys, comforters or objects and hold it in the air, above the furniture.  
4. Wiggle and jiggle it to try and engage your baby.  
5. If your baby looks up and spots it, slowly put the toy or object on top of the furniture.  
6. Watch to see if they try and pull themselves up and find their toy.
