Music Cradle Movement

Play some soft and slow music, such as classical music and waltz, indoors. The mother holds the baby gently in her arms and shakes or spins to the rhythm of the music.

Benefits: It can cultivate a good relationship between the baby and adults, make the baby happy, develop the baby's various senses, and promote the development of multiple intelligences.

Tips: Mothers should protect the baby's neck and pay attention to controlling the speed and length when shaking their bodies.

Rolling exercise

When the baby starts to turn over, for example, to the left, the mother holds the baby's left shoulder with her right hand and his hips with her left hand, and gently gives the baby a little strength, so that the baby turns over. Then, use this method to let the baby turn right.

Benefits: Frequent rolling helps the baby develop muscle joints and the integration ability of the left and right brain, trains the strength of the spine and waist and back muscles, trains the body's flexibility, and at the same time, broadens the field of vision and improves cognitive ability.

Tips: When turning over, the mother should not move too much or use too much force to avoid hurting the baby's arms.

6-12 months

Warm water to wipe face

When wiping the face, the mother should first wet the palm of the hand with warm water, and use the fingers to push upwards from the corners of the baby's mouth to the root of the nose, then to the forehead, and then massage down from the front of the ears. In this way, the baby's entire face can be massaged, which can stimulate many important acupoints such as Yingxiang, Jingming, and Yintang.

Benefits: It can improve the baby's skin's tactile ability and perception of temperature and pressure, and enhance sensory integration ability.

Tips: As the baby's skin is relatively tender, the mother must be gentle when wiping the face. Overly rough palms are not suitable for wiping the baby's face.

Crawling training

The mother uses gestures, language or toys that can arouse the baby's interest to attract the baby to crawl forward. The crawling distance depends on the baby's ability.

Benefits: It can train the baby's crawling ability, increase body balance, and lay the foundation for independent walking.

Tips: Since the baby's body balance ability is insufficient at this time and it is easy to fall, you should choose to train on a soft carpet or bed.
