What tools and techniques does Shari Stamps recommend for supporting baby posture and development?

I recommend a variety of tools and techniques to support your baby's posture and development. Here are a few:

• Tummy Time: This helps strengthen the core and provides a spinal stretch. It should be the majority of their playtime.
• Transitions: Practice the transition from belly to seated and back as your baby seems ready.
• Toys: Give your baby stackers or tall shaker toys to help them sit tall (with your support holding them) and play with an eye level toy.
• Reading: Read books with your baby on your lap (again, one hand holding) and hold the book at eye level.
• Cross-Body Play: Encourage your baby to play with toys they need to look up at and reach - see if your baby can reach across their body on both sides for the toy.

Remember, every baby is unique and develops at their own pace. Always consult with a healthcare professional if you have concerns about your baby's development. What other questions do you have about baby development?
