When a child begins to roll from back to stomach, from abdomen to back: +3 videos

Content

Independent upheavals from the back to the stomach and from the abdomen to the back become a truly revolutionary event in the life of the baby. On his back, he can see only his mother’s face and a couple of toys above his head or from the side. When that time comes and the child begins to turn over well on the tummy (and this happens about 4-5 months), he opens up a whole universe, consisting of extremely entertaining objects and phenomena.

First coups

After three months, the baby is already pretty good at mastering such skills as:

turns the head to a sound (for example, to the melody of a mobile or other toy) when lying on his stomach;
begins to gradually raise and fix the head and shoulders in a position on the stomach with support on the hands;
movements become more and more coordinated: the child is curious to feel his face, to grab himself by the nose.

During this period, the baby can hit mom, suddenly making a coup from the back to the stomach. This is difficult to call a truly coup, rather, not a very successful attempt to slide sideways from a position on the back, in which the caring mother laid the baby. But the beginning of active movements has already been laid, and now the baby will not stay on his back for long. True, truly children begin to roll over only when their neck, arms and back muscles are strong enough, which usually happens a bit later (4-5 months).

Attention! After three months, when the baby comprehends the skill of coups, you should always hold the child with your hand, changing his diaper or turning away to take a tube of baby cream or a bottle of massage oil. It is unacceptable to leave the crumb of one on the bed without sides and, especially, on the changing table, as this is fraught with falls and injuries.

According to some mothers, their child just at the age of 4-5 months very vigorously began to turn from back to side, then to the tummy and abdomen on his back - in short, to make coups in different directions, having managed to fill himself with several bruises before mother believed that the baby really learned how to roll over independently.

Coups from back to stomach and back (4-5 months)

After 4 months when the child lies on the back, he raises his head and looks with interest at his legs, can bend them at the knees, pulling them to his chest and trying to reach them with his fingers. Then he periodically begins to turn the body from back to side.

By 5 months the child can hold his head well, rise on his hands, lying on his stomach, arch his back in every possible way. He likes to swing, lying on his back, can thus roll on the bed, pushed off the bed with his legs in a position on his stomach. Such movements actively help to develop the necessary muscle groups, therefore, just at that time, many babies begin to roll over well.

It must be understood that when the baby turns over, and then learns to sit on his own and then crawl, then similar muscle groups are involved. So, when the muscles of the neck, back, legs and arms are strong enough for full-fledged coups, your child will gradually begin to make attempts to sit down and crawl himself.

We help to make turns

To help the baby learn a new skill in a playful way with a mandatory smile and words of approval. Noticing that the child accidentally turned over on his own, try to play with him, putting the toy on the side of him, stimulating the baby to turn.

You can perform simple exercises to strengthen the muscles of the back and arms, which will help the child learn a new skill for him. Getting started with exercises, you need to make sure that:

The kid is well able to raise his head while lying on his back, and holds his head well while lying on his stomach.
The child has a pronounced desire and the formed skill of lying on his stomach with his head raised, resting on his hands for at least 5 minutes.

If the baby is not too interested in lying on his stomach, you can hold him for a while in this position, for example, shaking on gym ball or by putting a bright fun toy in front of him.

Coup exercise

It is done when the child is on his back. With her right hand, the mother grasps the baby's right lower leg, while the left hand easily fixes the left leg so that it does not bend. Then mom begins to gently pull the right leg down, and then toward the coup so that the right leg is above the left. Do not rush and pull beyond measure, the child should be in a state of rotation for about 10 seconds.

Video exercises from mom Lara

Corrective gymnastics for babies will help the baby learn how to flip from back to stomach:

After the coup turned out, the baby’s handle may remain under the body. Try to give the crumb the opportunity to straighten it yourself. If the baby begins to get nervous, then you can slightly increase the movement of the leg, while the handle is gradually released. The exercise can be repeated 3-5 times in several sets during the day. Remember - all movements are exceptionally smooth, without sharp jerks and jerking!

Watch a video on how the kid was taught to roll over. Within three weeks, the child learned to roll over! And here is the result! When waking up - the first thing to do is lie on your stomach!

Mastering the skills of an independent coup opens up a new interesting world for the baby, gradually leading him to the need to crawl, and then to walk. And, of course, when the baby takes possession of it properly, then mom should not forget for a second about simple safety rules.

You should not specifically begin to train the child to sit or even stand, if by 5-6 months the baby still does not know how to roll over. Best of all, when each new stage in the development of the little one replaces the other smoothly and in the right sequence. Yes, children can sometimes “jump over” or significantly reduce certain stages, but these stages will still succeed each other in turn.
