Work those muscles baby – can you lean, and grab my fingers?

What to try 

• Sit comfortably with your back leaning against something, like a headboard on the bed, or a cushion on the sofa, and with your knees bent.   
• Sit your baby on your tummy with their back leaning against your legs.  
• Encourage your baby to reach for your hand by raising it in the air and waving it in front of them.  
• You might also use toys or other items to interest them.  

Good to know 

Your baby may topple sideways, so be ready to catch! You could also change the angle of your legs so that your baby can try pushing themselves up from various positions.
