Their bodies are meant to spend time horizontal, learning how to move against gravity.
Thatโ€™s how the brain begins building the foundations for:
โ€ข movement
โ€ข coordination
โ€ข regulation
โ€ข learning

When babies spend too much time upright in swings, seats, or containers, they may miss important opportunities to develop these early movement patterns.

And that can increase the risk of retained primitive reflexes, which can later affect things like coordination, focus, and learning.
