Parent! Make sure your Little One is carried in different positions! Avoid constantly carrying your baby upright, pressed against you, in the „spider” position. I’m not demonizing this position if you do it occasionally, but it’s good not to overuse it, and it shouldn’t be the
only position!

👼 Avoid the ‚spider’ position if your baby tends to arch
or stiffen, has issues with muscle tension imbalances, or asymmetry!

❤️ If you want to carry your baby upright, use the high position I demonstrate in the video. In this position, the baby’s shoulders are properly and symmetrically aligned, their head is freely positioned, and
it prevents the elbows from retracting!

🥰 This position is also excellent for babies with reflux! Try it if your little one suffers from these issues!

👌 With their arms over your shoulder, their tummy resting naturally against your chest muscle, a secure grip under the armpit, and snuggling close to the baby’s face – this guarantees a sense of closeness and a
secure hold 😁!

Let us know if you use this position!

👶 „My baby isn’t doing high-plank support. What can I do?”. Play on the ball every day, and the results will definitely come! The round and streamlined shape is demanding for an infant and engages their entire little body to work.

But how am I supposed to guide them into support if they keep doing „the airplane” and swimming with their arms? Well, that is exactly why we start by splinting the elbows. A technique you know perfectly well from the baby’s 2nd month of life and the sphinx position on the mat. We tuck them inward, block them with our hands, and rock with the baby.

❤️ We apply pressure and stimulate deep pressure (proprioception), reinforcing the positions. Combining vestibular and proprioceptive stimulation works very well. We press and hold the shoulders for as long as the baby needs it! With one baby, you’ll manage to move to the next positions after 2 days of exercises, while another will need 2 weeks. Repetition and patience always bring results.

Do we have to do this? We don’t have to. But without this support, you might come back here in the 7th-8th month asking why they are getting into all fours, lifting their bum, but have weak arms. Everything we do with babies gives us a daily, immediate effect and also pays off in the long run. Babies whose parents played with them on their tummies on a ball do not have problems with crawling on all fours.

👶 You very often write to me and comment under my reels, saying „My Little One is 7-8-9 months old and is standing up, but skipped crawling on all fours. Is that okay?”. Dears – a baby’s independent, spontaneous activity is always positive, and they will not do any harm to themselves. Nature programmed us so that motor implementation is adequate to the possibilities our body has.

❤️ And of course, there are Little Ones who are already standing up in the 8th month. And once they stand up, they do it very eagerly. And great, let them figure it out. Let it be their own initiative. Do not help, do not give your hands. And when they stand up, pacify them back to low positions, to sitting and crawling on all fours.

⚖️ Because our goal for this age is precisely perfecting sitting and crawling, as well as stimulating kneeling. Meaning strengthening the belly, trunk, and shoulder girdle. So that when the baby stands up, they can return to a low position by themselves. So that they realize their motor development in correct patterns.

👪 Every second of playing on all fours, every moment of rocking in a kneel-sit and on the ball – will pay off in the coming months when the time for upright positioning comes. It is also often the case that an infant in the 7th-8th month stands up skipping crawling because they cannot normalize muscle tone to maintain the all-fours position. They have too little of it, and by standing up, they increase it.

There is a group of Little Ones who will stand up first, and then come back down and find it easier to realize crawling on all fours. However, I will repeat – in play, focus on perfecting low positions :)!

Use basic caregiving activities to exercise and reinforce proper movement patterns! Read the description for more 👇👇!

👼 As you know from our other videos, 6-7 months is the age when we can start seating the Little One for short periods and build their sitting control. A sitting position on a chair with the baby on your lap provides great opportunities for dressing and un******ng 😊!

🥰 Twists and rotations of the hips and shoulders during dressing and un******ng are a great fun, helping the Little One with:

• sitting
• supporting themselves
• crawling
• side sitting

These are all skills that need to be developed between 7 and 10 months of age!

❤️ This technique is also great for dressing and un******ng babies who no longer like lying on their backs and wiggle and fuss when we try to change them in that position.

👆 Shift the baby from the left side to the right side to ensure symmetrical experiences!

👉 Let us know in the comments how you like this technique 😁!

🏐 How to encourage your baby to enjoy playing on the ball? We perform such exercises with an infant who is 7 months or older. This is already a baby who smiles at us, reacts to our goofiness, and each of you knows what triggers the most positive reactions. Bring your games, your faces, and your talk to your time together on the ball! Encourage your baby this way, creating an atmosphere of: „the ball is great, it’s a wonderful time for playing together!”.

❤️ On the ball, we do not only do forward-backward and side-to-side balance, but also vibrations and bouncing. We can do one entire session a day just with vibrations, and also use it as a break between more difficult tasks. Try different tempos, intensities, and types of vibrations. This is a very positive stimulus for the baby’s vestibular system, which, repeated regularly and daily, will also help them calm down for sleep.

👪 Play „bump bump”, where you push the baby’s tummy with your head, and they have to counter the position by tensing their tummy and back. You are doing exactly what we want in ball play. Note – the baby will definitely pull your hair, so maybe leave this game for Dad, who has shorter hair ;).

⚖️ And an important tip – babies 7–8 months old may still present an unstable sit on the ball. In that case, hold them by the waist and rock or bounce gently. 2–3 minutes, 2–3x a day will give you sensational results. And when the baby already sits steadily, grab them by the groin and point the knees outward – this is very important because it helps in extinguishing asymmetrical tension in the pelvis.

🐯 The tiger in the tree, the sloth, the branch, side-lying – this carry has many names and, in my opinion, is the very best position for your baby starting from their first days of life.

🤔 Why?

💟 We control the head position as it rests on our elbow
💟 The head is aligned symmetrically with the belly button line
💟 It helps with muscle tone regulation and reducing asymmetry
💟 We can support the sucking reflex by offering the baby their own hand
💟 It blocks arching and stiffening
💟 These are the first elements of tummy time
💟 It is a lifesaver for colic, gassy tummies, constipation, and bowel movement issues
💟 We can stimulate deep pressure through contact with our body and pressure from our other hand
💟 It allows us to modify the positioning: horizontal or angled, side-lying and on the tummy

✨ This position is completely safe for newborns, and using it correctly from the first days of life provides fantastic results and is the best prevention against muscle tone disorders and asymmetry!

How Dad’s Singing Helps Your Little One Calm Down 👨‍👧❤️

👉 Babies can calm down faster with their dads thanks to low, tenor, and bass tones! It’s a natural mechanism — a deeper, fuller sound gives your baby a sense of security and helps them relax more quickly.

👼 Especially if the vibrations from your vocal cords resonate while you’re holding your baby in the „koala” position 🐨

Here’s how you can make the most of it:

1️⃣ Sing without stress

You don’t have to be a professional singer! My son, even though he went to choir school, says I can’t sing. That’s why I created the Baby Club — so I could have an excuse to sing! 😉

Your voice, no matter the quality, soothes your baby and builds closeness. It’s about the low-tone vibrations, not hitting the perfect notes like Pavarotti. 🎶👶

2️⃣ The Koala Position 🐨

Hold your baby over your shoulder so they feel the warmth of your body. In the koala position, as if you were helping them burp. Start humming your favorite song and rest your head gently against the side of your baby’s head.

3️⃣ Safety and Comfort

Gently pat your baby’s bottom — the rhythmic movement combined with the sound of your voice will help them relax and calm down. 😌❤️

💡 Your Little One will love the sound of your voice — even if you’re not confident in your singing. Consistency and closeness will make your baby feel more secure with you every day.

📢 Do you sing to your baby? Let us know in the comments what your favorite songs are! 😄👇

⚽ Tummy time on the ball with your baby is a great idea for quality time with the whole family! Invite aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, and older siblings to join in the fun. The second person’s role is to talk to the baby, encourage them, and maintain eye contact—the simplest task imaginable, yet so effective!

💪 Every second of a lifted head and working neck muscles, every moment in the president’s elbow with a bent knee while supported on the elbow, every lifting of the other hand—these are small elements that, repeated daily, will produce wonderful results for the baby.

Why is it worth doing this exercise daily with a baby who has completed 4 months?
💟 Because it is a great supplement to tummy time play on the mat
💟 Because it prepares for high support—the baby lifts an arm and strengthens the shoulder girdle
💟 Because it prepares for rolling—by bending the elbow and knee, we support shoulder and pelvic rotations
💟 Because it prepares for crawling on all fours—bending will reinforce the alternating movement of arms and legs
💟 Because it helps in regulating muscle tone
💟 Because it is an excellent aid in extinguishing asymmetry, which we no longer want at this age

Happy baby and parents. These are 2-3 minutes that provide nothing but benefits.

🐻 The “high bear” – a fantastic developmental exercise for babies around 7.5 to 8 months old 💪👶

In this position, the baby supports themselves on their hands and feet, with their bum raised in the air.
At first, the knees are bent, but with older babies (8+ months), you can start straightening the knees and lifting the bum even higher.

Why practice the high bear?

✨ It improves high support and weight-bearing on the hands
✨ Great for strengthening the tummy, back, and shoulders
✨ Helps build core stability
✨ Prepares the body for standing and walking – it’s the next step after crawling
✨ Supports coordination and balance

And interestingly – some babies move around in this position! They walk on straight legs and hands, just like little bears 🐻😄

How to do it:

➡️ Start from the crawling position
➡️ Gently bend the knees and place the feet on the ground – one at a time
➡️ Lift the bum up!
➡️ You can gently rock your baby forward–backward and side-to-side to help them feel their body

🕐 Just 1–2 minutes a day is enough – it’s an intense exercise that may end with the baby transitioning into sitting

It’s a wonderful way to support your baby’s development – through play, closeness, and shared moments 💛

Give it a try and let us know if your Little One enjoys the bear!

Does your Little One flutter their arms and „swim” while on their tummy? Pay attention to how you carry them and try this modification of the royal position 👑🤱! Watch the entire reel and read the description!

The royal position is great for babies 5 months and older – but it’s important to position your hands correctly! Here’s how to do it step by step:

1️⃣ Hand Placement Modification

👆 Avoid holding your hands on the chest or under the armpits, as that reinforces the „swimming/airplane” pattern. Instead, place one hand under your baby’s knees and the other on their tummy. This way, you don’t lift their shoulders and you avoid reinforcing an unwanted carrying pattern 😊.

2️⃣ Why Is This Important?

💡 When you lift your baby’s shoulders by placing your hand under their armpit, you reinforce the flying/swimming pattern. At this age, it’s a natural behavior when lying on their tummy—as long as the baby alternates with weight-bearing positions.

👉 We don’t want to reinforce this pattern because an excess can lead to difficulties with effective high support, ball play, crawling, and later quadrupedal movement.

3️⃣ Adapt to the Developmental Stage

👌 From 5 months onward, we no longer need such a deep hip bend—the proper royal position promotes natural development and ensures your baby’s comfort.

📢 And you? How do you manage carrying your baby in the royal position? Let me know in the comments!

🧠 We have a few reels in store for you about „self-stimulatory behaviors.” These are behaviors through which a child tries to independently stimulate understimulated areas that require additional input. This is not bad. It is a form of nervous system regulation.

🌀 An attempt to calm down and focus on a single stimulus. Or to stimulate their vestibular system through additional movement. An attempt to release emotions. And here we very often deal with self-aggressive behaviors, where a child, for example, hits their head against something or hits their head with toys or objects. This is the moment when the child’s brain sends us a signal: „I can’t cope, I need help”.

🌋 Such children are characterized by emotional lability - a small spark can ignite a real volcano of emotions. They transition quite easily from a calm state to an agitated one. How to deal with this? It is definitely worth scheduling a diagnosis for Sensory Processing Disorders.

🏠 And at home, simply work with the zone where we see the child presenting stimming behaviors. And with the entire deep pressure system. Squeeze the head, massage it. Use a massager or sensory balls for this. Do lots of hugs, wrap the child in a blanket, and roll them like a pancake while applying pressure.

🆘 Do not ignore these types of signals that children send you, because very often it is a subconscious cry of their body for help. Write in the comments what else you want to learn about this matter!

👶 Asymmetry in a baby’s positioning on the tummy and back is an inherent part of development during the first 12 weeks of life. Turning the head to one side results from the asymmetrical tonic neck reflex, which originally serves to protect us from suffocation—in tummy time with the head pressed into the surface, which the infant cannot yet control, ATNR forces the head to turn to the side.

⚖️ It is best, however, if this asymmetry is... symmetrical, meaning the baby turns the head once to one side and once to the other. Yet, a one-sided asymmetry remains the dominant pattern. We should counteract and reduce it from the first weeks of life so that it does not dominate motor development in the first and subsequent months.

👐 We do this through proper carrying—royal, tiger in the tree, koala, bean. We do this by positioning the baby in the sphinx on the tummy, with correction of retracting arms after 5–6 weeks of age. We do this by positioning on the back in the high bum, which helps us achieve symmetrical alignment of the head and shoulders.

🛡️ Applying these rules from the first days of life is the best prevention against the intensification and persistence of asymmetry after 12 weeks. If at this age the baby presents asymmetrical behaviors while on their back, tummy, or during motor activity, do not hesitate—schedule a consultation with a physical therapist.

🔄 Remember also that a baby who had stronger asymmetry, requiring more stimulation, tends to have it return with every new motor skill. Therefore, you will see a dominant side in the infant during rolling, crawling on all fours, and arm work. This, of course, we counter with work in symmetry, which I show you on the profile every day :)!
