Here is another pose that Baby Gloria enjoys. This pose allows her to practise "tummy time" in a fun way while I can enjoys a back massage, if I roll side to side or strengthen my abdominals if I bring my knees in and out. I try to practise this pose 30 mins after she has fed, to reduce the chances of her vomitting her feed.
Instructions for Pose:
1. Sit with your knees bent 90 deg.
2. Hold your baby at her sides, with her chest and tummy against your shins.
3. Slowly lie down on the floor, bringing your baby up to face you as she rests on your shins.
4. Keep your hands around her sides to keep her safe and secure.
5. You can either bounce your baby on your knees (Hear her giggle!!) or roll your body and baby side to side for a lower back massage.
6. You can also bring your baby towards your face by crunching your abdominals.
7. To come out of the pose, roll yourself up into sitting. Give your baby a big hug!
Let your baby's reactions guide your movements. Remember, some babies may need some time to warm up to new yoga poses.
