How to try it

Spread a firm blanket on the floor and lay your baby on their back with nothing strapped around them. Sit nearby and let them kick, stretch, and turn their head wherever they want.

Materials

  • Firm blanket or mat

Safety note

Use a firm, flat surface, keep pillows and loose blankets away, and stay in the room.

Save this idea

Review this idea in your private family planner before saving.

Why it matters

Time out of a seat or a bouncer lets your baby move freely, which is how they build the strength for rolling and, later, crawling.
