At about the age of three months or a little later, the baby begins to try to roll over from his back to his tummy. Parents can help him with this - add new rolling exercises to daily exercises and massage, which develop the baby's motor activity.
Instructions
Step 1
Find out if your baby is ready for turns. The child should confidently hold his head while lying on his back, and also pull his legs to the stomach from the same position. The baby should lie on his stomach with support on his forearms. Teach your child to turn on a hard and level surface - the slightest discomfort in the form of a fold of fabric can discourage him from moving. Before learning new movements, do gymnastics - stretch your arms and legs, rub the baby's muscles, stroke him. Choose a time when your child is cheerful, cheerful and in a good mood.
Step 2
Use a bright toy with sound effects (any rattle that can grab your baby's attention will do). Take it and shake it in front of the child - at first he will follow her gaze, then he will try to turn his head in the direction where the rattle is moving, and his next movement should be stretching. After reaching for the toy, the child will roll over on its side.
Step 3
Help the child roll over. Put it on the back, with one hand grab the legs in the ankle area (your index finger will be between the baby's legs), give the other hand to the child so that he grabs your finger. Straighten the legs of the crumbs and begin to slowly swing them, turning to the side with the pelvis. At the same time, pull the child's handle up and forward so that he can turn his shoulders and head. Incorporate this exercise into your daily routine and do it several times a day.
Step 4
Teach him to roll over correctly. Put the baby on the back, bend one leg at the knee and throw your thigh so that with his knee he reaches the surface of the crib or table. The child will be uncomfortable, and he wants to roll over - hold him by the other straightened leg. When the baby rolls over, his handle will be under him - he will not like it either, so help the baby to free his hand. Over time, he will understand that the handle needs to be pulled out from under him. This exercise should be done as often as possible - it forms the child's rolling skills.
Step 5
Begin to master the coups sequentially - first learn to turn from the back to the stomach, then in the opposite direction.
