Help my baby stand up.

To stimulate and reinforce your baby s skill to stand up place some of her favorite toys on a couch or a high surface she can reach. You may be tempted to pull your little one to standing. Then position your little one next to that surface so that she can use it as support stand up and reach the toys. This activity is fun for both mom and baby and it will build his standing muscles.

Once your baby is familiar with pulling themself to stand they will start to cruise along furniture. Physical activities make for quality one on one time. Place your baby s legs on your lap. Placing baby s favorite toys just out of reach can be the little bit of motivation he or she needs to start experimenting with standing.

To stimulate and reinforce your baby s skill to stand up place some of her favorite toys on a couch or a high surface she can reach. Then position your little one next to that surface so that she can use it as support stand up and reach the toys. Your little one is a ball of energy so take advantage of that bounciness. Stand your little one in front of you so he can bounce up and down.

Cruising long distances boosts your baby s standing stamina and will strengthen hip and thigh muscles. Aim for lots of floor play at least 2 or 3 times a day with age appropriate toys.
