Babies' abilities

Another long weekend - this time to celebrate ANZAC Day (possibly the most important day in our National Calendar).

Over the weekend, and the past few weeks, I have had the opportunity to cuddle/observe a number of babies in the 4 - 8 month age range. I've noticed that few of these babies seem to be sitting up as mine and most others did when they were around 6 months of age. Some were not even rolling over at 6 months.

I wonder if it is the current advice to sleep babies on the their backs that is the cause. It seems that parents are unwilling to let babies lie on their stomachs at all these days, yet they need to lie prone to strengthen their back and neck muscles - a necessary precursor for being able to sit unsupported.

Of course, sitting up early may not be all that important in the overall scheme of things, but it certainly makes self feeding easier for the baby (and they are often eager to put things in their mouth around that age) and it also encourages mobilisation.

Just a thought....
