About this play
Before babies can sit unaided, they need practice feeling what balance is like. Propping your baby upright with pillows on either side, then playing a giggly game of gentle wobbling and catching, builds the core and back strength behind independent sitting.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Arrange soft pillows in a U-shape on the floor or bed.
- Sit baby upright in the middle, supported at the sides.
- Gently rock them side to side, saying 'wobble wobble... catch!'
