Babies can lie prone from a few days after birth, but 1 month-old children can't raise their heads actively, so they can only instinctively struggle to turn their faces to one side. At 2 months, they can raise their heads slightly, chest up, and at 3 months, they can raise their heads steadily. Prone head-up exercise not only exercises the muscle strength of the baby's neck and back, but also increases the vital capacity. At the same time, children can actively face the world earlier and accept more external stimuli.

Training time

Training should be carried out when the child is awake and on an empty stomach, that is, before feeding 1 hour, and the prone time should not exceed 2 minutes each time.

Training environment

The bed surface is flat and comfortable. Bend your arms over your chest and lie prone on the bed.

visual stimulus

Parents turned their children's heads to the center and put colorful and noisy toys in front of them, saying, "Baby, beautiful toys are coming." Let him try to raise his head. The action of raising your head is from 45 degrees to 90 degrees with the bed surface, and gradually stabilizes to 90 degrees when you are 3 months old. At the same time, parents can slowly move the toy from the baby's eyes to the left side of his head, and then slowly move it to the right side of his head, so that the child's head can rotate in the direction of the toy.

Parental companionship

Parents should put their baby's head on their shoulders, pat his back a few times, then gently hold his head with their hands and let him stand upright naturally for a while to exercise his head and neck strength.

♂? athletic ability

Children are born with strong athletic ability. If you put them on your stomach, they will slowly raise their heads and turn to one side. At this time, they will put their palms on their feet and let them crawl. If the child stands up straight and puts his hands under his arm, his feet will automatically move away.
