If you can be a first time parent, you can be excited for each developmental milestone in your baby's life. You may be familiar with common developmental stages like smiling, crawling, and walking, but your baby does not stop at that. Although, all babies do not develop at similar pace, they can be always learning and constantly pulling themselves up the milestone ladder. That is why it is important that you understand and appreciate the different developmental stages your baby goes through. When your baby is around 4 months old you can notice him trying to roll on his side or even on to his return without your help.
It shall begin accidentally. Maybe your baby got to kicking and moving around and next thing he realizes this leads to a roll over on his tummy. This is the time to begin watching your baby more closely. He shall not be tough enough to immediately move his head or he should fall sound asleep tired regarding the large effort. Always make sure that his head is not buried below pillows and blankets and he is can breathe.
Rolling over is first step to babies pulling themselves up. After your baby has mastered the rolling over and gained enough confidence, he shall progress to pushing himself upon his arms. He shall be rocking return and forth on his knees and he shall like it! Your baby shall be fascinated with his arms and feet savoring his new freedom to touch and explore the universe around him. The detailed your baby can do this, the stronger he shall become. Building up muscle and gaining more confidence shall move him one step closer to pulling himself up!.
Between six and seven months of age your baby shall be can sit and possibly shall be experimenting with crawling. That is when he shall begin trying to reach and grab on to the crib or playpen not only to touch but in an attempt to pull himself up. Once your baby masters crawling and starts moving' around with confidence he shall make every attempt there is to try to grab anything within his reach and pull himself up to a standing position. Some babies need a bit of support; others do it entirely on their own. At this time your baby's muscles are tough enough and he shall be can bear mass on his legs even if at the beginning it's for a brief time only.
According to pediatricians, pulling up usually happens between 8 and 10 months of age. Often parents forget that pulling up and standing should be followed by sitting below and that babies do not have knowledge of how to sit below on their own. They need to learn how to do that too, so release them a helping hand. Household furniture is the highest many common aid babies use for pulling up tea tables, TV stands, chairs, large flower pots, bookshelves, etc. Unfortunately babies cannot foresee that a clash with two of these may lead not only to bumps and bruises but even to more serious injuries.
All the furniture that is not sturdy enough to help the baby's mass and may topple below should be moved away, glass and metal objects are mostly baby unfriendly. Soften the sharp edges of tea and end tables with towels, remove coasters from all furniture. Pulling up is a prerequisite to walking and babies need to have gained enough strength and balance to accomplish it. The milestone provided here is a general guideline. Your baby shall develop at its own velocity and pace; like and encourage him and like this memorable time!.
