Baby almost every day makes new discoveries in managing his body. A month ago, his handles uncontrolled themselves in themselves, and now the child can consciously grab the rattle outstretch. One of the critical moments in the motor activity of the baby becomes the development of the skill of the turning.
When you manage to teach the baby to roll from the back on the stomach, after that the child will quickly die and the opposite coup will gradually begin to sit, crawl, and then walk. Parents' parents try to bring the development of a child of this skill with various exercises.
Alone to learn how to turn the babies cannot, because they do not quite understand how this can be done. The task of parents is not waiting for the kid by chance it will happen to turn over, and to show him what movements will lead him to a position on the stomach.
The development of various skills in children up to a year is gradually happening, and each kid will have its own, a special development schedule. But in general, there is a regular order of skills that all kids acquire:
- At the end of the third month of life, children turn the head on the sounds in the back position and stomach.
- In the fourth month, lying on the stomach, children can lift the head and even rest on the elbows.
- Lying on the back, lift the head and hold it in this position for more than 5 minutes.
- Swing and pushed off with legs in the back position.
- The movements of the hands and legs are becoming more coordinated, the kids are consciously moving with legs, feel their face, grab the toys, mother's hair.
These physical skills for 4 months speak of the readiness of the baby to turn over, his muscles are already quite hardened, and the coordination of movements is quite developed so that the child can make the movements necessary to change the position of the body. Noticing that the baby was physically ripe, you can start classrooms to teach it coups.
Some kids, moving too actively, sometimes accidentally turn over independently, but such a change in body position can not be called conscious and controlled. In any case, you will have to devote more than one day to devote to the strengthening of the muscles of the baby, demonstrating the necessary movements and consolidate the new skill.
The first inept coups baby is trying to make about 3 months. Noticing such a motor activity from his baby, you must consolidate this skill in infants with certain exercises.
Approximately 5-6 months, children can be turned over through both BOK and in the opposite direction. By half the kids have enough developed abdominal muscles, necks and limbs so that they can independently change the position of the body.
After mastering the skill of turning the baby will already be quite ready to learn to sit down and crawl.
When should a child turn over?
Babies are developing in different pace, so the deadline for moving the turning is very conditional. Children have the same muscle strengthening order: first they start well in the stomach position to keep the head (in 2-3 months), then begin to rise, leaning on the shoulders and the docking, and then, pushing out, change the position of the body. On average, for half a year, all children are mastering the coups.
Your baby may differ in the pace of development from its peers for various reasons:
- Temperament. Sanguines and cholerics are active than melancholic and phlegmatic.
- Heredity. We all repeat the pace of development of our parents. If you started to roll over, sit and walk before peers, most likely your baby will also develop skills on accelerated graphics, and vice versa.
- Care. If mom regularly engages with the infant with gymnastics, makes him a massage and develops its motor activity with certain exercises, the baby will master the necessary skills on time and even with the advance of the "standards".
- The weight of the child. Also significantly affects its motor activity and the pace of mastering the necessary skills. Fully baby will be hard to move and learn something new.
Modern pediatrician establishes only approximate borders, how many months the child begins to turn over, but your infants can be slightly distinguished by peers and slightly fall behind them.
How to help your baby master the desired skill?
You can wait for the moment when the kid will turn over independently for the first time, and then fasten this skill, or you can slightly ahead of the events and start studying with the baby, gradually strengthening his muscles.
At the age of 3 months, regularly post the child on the stomach, such a "lying" will force it to raise the head. Gradually, his neck muscles are quite strengthened, and the baby will be able to hold the head, lying on the stomach, more than five minutes.
By 4 months, the child will be lifted on the handles when it lies on the stomach. The more often you will lay it out in such a position, the stronger muscles will be at the infant.
Strengthen the leg muscles help. Purchase a swimming circle for a baby and let it inhibit in the bathroom in the evening. When the child is actively moving in the water, it is well developing the legs of the baby.
When the muscles of legs, hands, abdomen and backs, the infants will be ready for active training, you can start exercises.
It is best to deal with the baby a couple of times a day after an hour and a half after meals.
Conducting daily sessions, you can teach the baby with the necessary movements. As a rule, children with whom they regularly do, quite quickly master the necessary skills and turn over from the abdomen on the back for two weeks after two weeks.
- Carry out the room, the tenderness of the baby and put on the linen or one-time diaper.
- Mildly stroke his handles and legs, turning over on the bar, slightly sneak his back.
- Having pulled the baby for the handle, put his barrel.
- Bend the leg, which turned out to be above, and slightly push the child in the shoulder so that it turns over to the belly.
Conduct such exercises every day, alternating Boc, through which the coup on the belly will be. Over time, the baby must master this skill and will change the position of his body independently, without your help.
You can teach coup on the stomach and simply with the help of the baby's legs:
- put the baby on the back;
- clamp with both toddler ankle or tibia;
- for the right turn (relative to the child), hold your right leg, and pull to the right left to the right;
- after the baby turned over, his handle will be inconvenient to stay under his body, give the baby the opportunity to extract it from being independently.
At the same time, with the development of the coup on the stomach, you should teach the baby, as needed to return to the back position. Mildly push the shoulder of the child so that it turns back.
To teach the baby to this skill, you will need a long time and a lot of classes, but they will bring their fruits. Subsequently, the child will turn on the belly with any sides and return to its original position.
As children who are already turned over, from the parent bed or changing table, you should protect your child when leave it one in the room. Place your baby in his crib, sow pillows or move it to a game rug or on a playpen.
What if the baby is lagging behind?
Even if the child was unable to master the necessary overtaking skill by half a year, it is not necessary to beat the alarm ahead of time. Continue to engage with a baby, and you will definitely get it to teach it. But you still need to consult with a pediatrician, especially if a child does not turn into the stomach at the age of 6.5 months and do not even strive to actively move. A children's doctor will send you to a neurologist who will conduct a full examination of the baby and, if necessary, will appoint you a professional massage course and supporting therapy.
Hello, friends. Today we will disassemble enough important skill, one of the very first in your child's life. We will talk about coups. To know how many months the infants will begin to turn over very important for two reasons:
First, you need not to undermine the lag in the development of the child and at the right moment to help the baby;
Secondly, you need to be prepared for the fact that when the child starts to turn over, you will need not to leave him one lying for a second. We are talking about not fenced tables and beds. As soon as the baby learn to turn over, it will immediately be on the floor. I have already written enough about such falls in the article "".
Waiting for the first coup
There are three main types of child's coup:
- From the back on the side;
- From the back on the stomach;
- From the belly on the back.
If I just write you now, in which month, where your child will turn over, then I'm just a Lant. Not a single children's doctor will answer this question. The fact is that the development of this skill depends on many factors and plus everything from the type of coup himself. For example, it is logical to assume that at first a child to learn to turn over on the side of the back, then on the stomach. And the last stage will be the opposite coup from the abdomen on the back and it is not always, for which the baby is turned over to the back, if on the stomach and so interesting: you can crawl, we can see everything, play.
The following factors also exist:
- Repeats for parents. If dad or mom began to turn over late, it is quite possible that the child will be the same "lazy". Therefore, ask your parents when you started to turn over.
- The physique of the child (if you can express it). It is clear that the full children are clumsy and a little lazy, so they can also begin to turn it too long.
- If there were some problems with the tooling of the fetus or injury during childbirth, it could all be affected by the child's activity not for the better.
- By the way about the most activity. Similarly, like adults, children are squeezed and inquisitive, and come around, lazy and "heavy on the rise." The second, naturally, will start turning out later and, most likely, they will need some help on your part.
- Actions from parents. In order for the kid to develop skills, the active participation of parents is also needed. Morning massage and gymnastics, daily swimming in the bathroom, all this develops the muscles of the child, makes it more active. If you do not do this, then, naturally, you should not expect from a child of great activity.
And now, as for approximate numbers, when to wait for this very first coup:
4 months - the average when a child should be able to roll over from the back on the side.
5 months - the baby must start turning over the back on the stomach, bypassing the barrier in the form of his hand. Yes, it is the hand that most often prevents them from turning over.
Half a year - the baby consciously turns away from the belly on the back.
Preliminary physical training of baby. What is meant here? Just what I have already written about. You should have already been in advance, immediately after healing the umbilical wound and the baby is mastered in the new world for him to start laying out the child on the belly, this is, first.
Secondly, massages and morning gymnastics every day.
Third, bathing in the bathroom. In the bathroom, the baby feels folded, trying to swim, the muscles train.
If you all performed this, then your child is physically and morally ready for the exercise "coup". In order for him everything happens, you need to do the following:
- All the above exercises are made only when the child is not capricious and configured to play. When he has already had a relatively long time, but also not hungry. Ideally, in an hour and a half after feeding. This is done not for it, if the child rests on, it does not need to force him also to be nervous at the same time.
- If the baby has already learned to turn over, then you will very seriously go to the question of safety. Now it is impossible to leave it. I also wrote about this, but I repeat, because it is very important. It will turn over on a table or a bed without sideboards and will be on the floor.
- If the child stopped turning over, although he was already able to. Perhaps he once again unsuccessfully turned over either it seemed to him too complicated exercise and he no longer wants to "go on trouble." You can reappetent with him again and put the toy or turn over, taking the baby, then for one, then for the second leg. Remind him as it used to be fun.
- If the baby still does not want to turn over, and he is already half a year, then no one prevents you from consulting the pediatrician who may give you the direction to a narrower specialist so that the baby inspected.
Our article was delayed with you, but I gave a detailed answer to the questioned question and I hope that you now know, a hundred unambiguous answer to the question "What how many children begin to turn over" no. Each child is individuality.
This ability is formed over time when the kid's muscles are significantly fixed.
A small preface to the topic. No newborn baby knows how to roll over. This ability is formed over time when the kid's muscles are significantly fixed. And not only get fixed, and also an insurmountable desire will appear to reach and touch with handles with beautiful toys.
How many months does the child perform the first coup?
It all depends on the development of muscle mass. But firmly can be declared that your child should turn on a barrel already in three or four months old.
In four or five months, the baby must be able to roll over the back on the stomach and back. But remember! All this is very individual. There are no narrow frames.
It all depends on the development of your crumbs and its weight. It is possible to alert only when the baby is already six months old, and he can neither turn over or go to the barrel.
Reversal
It is such a coup that the baby is best possible in the first place, because the crumble can already hold the head well and boldly rely on the forearm.
It is enough to show the child a couple of times the coup process, and he will try to fulfill him on his own.
But do not forget! Some kids are enough to show the coup on the back a couple of times, the other children need a more frequent demonstration of such a movement.
How to help crumbs to make a coup from the tummy on the back? Put the baby on the tummy. Near the sides, place toys. Merry rattles will cause interest in the kid, and he will dyate to funny things.
So it will turn the crumbs to the toy interested him. Naturally, at the beginning of the child will fall on his back by chance. But later, the baby will become more smoothly over and starts to realize the meaning of this action.
When your child makes the coups, you are affectionately talking to him, read funny poems. It will cause crumbling positive emotions from everything that is happening.
Mastering turning skills
Each mother should know that it is she who is obliged to teach the kid to the skills of turns from the back on the tummy and from the tummy on the back.
How to help your child turn from the back on the stomach? You need to do the following exercises with it: First, we cross the knobs of the crumbs on his chest, then we will drag them.
This exercise will continue to help the baby when turning when it becomes necessary to press one handle to the chest, and the second help turn over. It is also necessary to throw the right leg of the child through the left. And vice versa.
Necessary gymnastic exercises
After 1.5 months, it is necessary to lay the crumb into the tummy. He must try to keep the head.
While the child lies on the tummy, put their hands to his footsteps. The baby will try to push off from them and make the movement of a crawling nature. In the knob, the crumb need to invest a variety of toys. A child will develop a reflex grabbing.
After 3 months, such exercises should be done: cross the handles on the chest at the baby, bend and instill the legs. Insert your fingers in the knobs and try lift the body of the child.
These uncomplicated exercises encourage the child to independent movements that he is simply needed!
Do not forget that gymnastic exercises are performed only when your child is in a good mood. Forcibly, such workouts are not conducted. This can cause a sharply negative reaction from the child.
Massage
Massage is a mandatory procedure to do the baby. It is carried out with light stroking movements.
Massage uses such elements like patting, rubbing, kneading. You should bend and blending the handles and the legs of the baby. Stroking is better to perform, ranging from the stop to the thigh of the crumbs, from the brushes to the shoulder.
The duration of this pleasant and useful procedure fluctuates from twenty to thirty minutes.
Fitbolon
This is a real treasure for crumbs. He calms the baby and stimulates the development of the vestibular apparatus.
Enough to make the simplest exercises. For example, lad out a child on a tummy or back to the surface of the ball. Slowly shake the ball with the baby lying on it.
What if the child does turns only in one direction?
The best solution to this issue is the consultation of a narrow specialist - children's. The reasons for the "favorite side" when turning may be many. And you must continue to stimulate the turn of the crumbs not only in the other side, which he "loved", but also in the opposite. Massage in this case will be a mandatory purpose.
Baby learned to turn over later than his peers
There may be several reasons for this. First, it can be in the nature of the baby. If the crumb is calm, then he may be, and not very interesting what around him. The child just feels comfortable, lying on his back. The active children, on the contrary, begin to turn over before.
Secondly, the weight of crumbs is very important. If the baby is bigger, it will be harder to turn over.
Thirdly, it is believed that the boys learn faster to turn over the girls, because their muscular system is more developed. Fourth, the reason may be the presence of a hypertonus at the kid. Naturally, only a doctor gives recommendations for all types of lag. Special exercises are usually prescribed, possibly massage.
Turning Precautions
And here your baby learned to turn from the abdomen on the back and back. Now he needs an eye yes eye. If you do not keep track, it can easily fall from or.
The most important thing is to create a safe surrounding environment for the kid. In no case, do not leave your child one unattended on the table for swaddling or on the sofa.
The main thing is calm
If a child does not work something, you should not be upset and nervous. The kid very thinly feels the state of mom.
You just need to hardly teach the crumb to all skills, be able to interest it. And then your beltenious child will answer you reciprocity. The baby will try to independently make what you were so diligently trained.
The first coup of the child on the tummy doctors is called the beginning of meaningful movements of the newborn. Parents are waiting for this movement with great impatience, because it testifies to the launch of all basic skills: as soon as the baby can turn it over himself, the muscular skeleton will remember this movement and add to the motion patterns. It is very difficult to help make the first steps, not knowing how to do it right. It is important to understand how many months the child begins to turn over, and how to behave in this situation to parents.
Children begin to explore the environment early enough. As soon as their eyesight begins to configure and becomes clearer, children are trying to tweak their heads, lifting and turning over. If the child himself began to master the motor activity in time, it means that the development goes to his man. Very soon, the baby can crawl on their own, and then walk.
That is why for many parents, the question of when the child begins to turn over, is very acute. Moms and dads are experiencing whether there are no deviations in the flow of development. Basically, the crumbs begin to turn over to three months closer to three months. It can be quite easy movements from side to side, similar to the swaying.
Literally a few months later, the baby will be able to completely turn on the belly without any help. Please note that in the first stages it is very important to maintain the head of the Karapus, because when climbs and turns, heaviness can be felt.
Never leave a monthly child one on a changing table or any other high surfaces. Regardless of whether a baby crawl or not, there is a chance that it will fail, falling with a big height for him.
To speak about a particular age when the newborn begins to move, it is quite difficult. No pediatrician can call an accurate figure, how many months the child begins to turn over. This indicator is purely individual, as well as the ability to walk or talk. Children master the coup after they manage to raise their heads and turn the neck, but there are a number of factors that determine the ability to turn from side to:
- the weight of the newborn;
- character traits (calm baby or very movable);
- heredity;
- muscular tone;
- availability or absence of injuries during childbirth and postpartum period.
So, if the baby is very active, movable, and he has an interest in everything that surrounds him, then in the absence of injuries, it can start rolling after 2-3 months after birth. Phlegmatics sometimes master this skill only six months after the appearance of the light.
How do the skills develop in a newborn?
The entire period of development of this skill can be divided into separate stages, which depend on the progress of the baby. In the scheme provided below, you will see a monthly classification of active activities.
3 months
At this age, the child is already starting to actively turn his head to the right and left, considering everything around. This contributes to the rapid development of the muscles of the neck. The upper part of the case begins to fix.
4 months
Some confidence can be traced in the movements. He is just enough to turn his head, he begins to fall on the right or left side, trying to turn. Some children at such age can already be turned over to the belly with a small help of their parents. Back to its original position, they are capable of independently.
5 months
The predominant number of children at this age make independent coups to the stomach and back.
6 months
At this age, infants are already obliged to make such movements on their own. If this does not happen, and there was no injuries during childbirth, you need to consult a doctor. This may indicate the slow motion activity of the nervous system.
8 months
The first coups at this age can become the norm only if the child was born prematurely. If no movements do not work with your help, you should contact the doctor.
Healthy children make the first movements after 3-4 months after birth, and the period of 6-8 months can also become a period of 6-8 months for carapuses with injuries or diagnosis.
First attempt
The first attempts of such movements are clumsy. All efforts to go on the other side or belly fail. If you do not go out to interest the child so that he starts moving, try luring it on the side of a big toy. It is desirable that she was bright and noisy. The main thing is that it can be good to attract attention and moved up-down.
You must also understand that attempts to turn over will be crowned with failures until the muscular corset is strengthened. This can take a week or even a few months. The main thing is not to give up, because only you can help your baby. Already after the first success, Karapuz will repeat the movements liked.
From the belly on the back
In order for the newborn to roll over from the abdomen on the back, the muscular corset must be sufficiently developed. For this, parents need to provide him with the right physical activity. In the afternoon, the child should actively move, otherwise you will get an inert newborn, which will begin its first movements and steps only after a year. That is why parents must constantly develop the skill of turning.
During the period of activity and wakefulness, it is necessary to put a newborn on the stomach and see how he will behave. If you see that the baby almost does not react, try to interest it with anything. After that, observe the reaction. If the karapuz will try to roll over, help with your hands in every way. If you do such attempts regularly, you will achieve the result in a month. The main thing is not to use the same subject to attract attention, because it can very quickly get bored.
From the back on the belly
There are special techniques to teach the baby to roll over the back on the stomach. It is a bit more complicated than the previous way. To do this, it is also necessary to strengthen the muscular corset. Special gymnastic exercises and massages will help. It is very good if the parents will teach the newborn to swim, because it is in the water muscles that are most well trained. As for the method itself and attempts, everything is similar to the first technique.
You will not be able to achieve the result quickly if you are engaged exclusively two or three times a week. Constantly control the karapus, because all the children are different: some help themselves turn over with the help of hands, others - pushing the body with legs. Some children can not understand at all where they are holding hands and feet that they need to do.
How to teach baby to turn over
If you want to teach the Karapuza correctly turn over, and so that it happens as quickly as possible, ensure that it is the right conditions. Pay attention to the basic kid skills. If he cannot turn the neck to independently, raise his head, it is unlikely that success will be able to achieve in movements.
Do the newborn in such a way that he learned to keep his head in vertically. Raise his head, provoke it to the nasal turns in the same way. In addition, the baby will not be able to correctly turn his body correctly, if he does not have a solid support under his back. Try to put it on a table or floor that must be warm.
Karapuz must also have incentives to turn over. Otherwise, interest will quickly fade. Be sure to use bright and noisy items. It is desirable that they are familiar to Karapuzu. It can be toys that hung over his bed.
Begin to engage with newborn only with the correct emotional setting. When the mood and the baby, and the parents have a good, the process will be much faster and more successful. If the newborn is hungry, he has a restless dream, and parents are very tired, there are very few chances for victory in a short time.
Help parents
Parents' help in this case is very important. Without their support, the child will not be able to independently perform active movements. At first, mom or dad pushes the baby, then he begins to try himself, as it feels comfortable and habitual.
Exercises helping to strengthen the muscles for the coup
All techniques are aimed at the development of a muscular corset. It is very important in time to pay attention to those groups of muscles that are lagging behind in development. If this is noticed on time, you can tighten one or another part of the body with the help of exercises, which will help to start moving more quickly.
How to help turn: 3 basic exercises
- Aims to stimulate certain points on the body. You must put a newborn on your back and gently turn your head with your hands. To begin with, just slightly lift your head towards yourself. When you see that this movement is given to the baby easily, you can turn your head from the side to the side.
- It is in training turns on the side. This exercise can be performed already at the age of three to four months. Put the newborn on the barrel, but do not force it to be in this position for a long time. The baby should feel that he lies naturally and at ease. Hold your baby so a few minutes. It is better to immediately remove your arms, and if you notice that he gets, begins to hone and capricious, immediately turn the newborn back.
- Trains managing turns. Put the baby on the side and use your hands to fix the area of \u200b\u200bthe hip joint and the upper blade. It is in this position that you must keep it. A little push with your own hands on the body, but it is completely easily (you must push a little to the movement). If the karapuz is trying to turn over, then hold the leg a little, so that he should have an effort to turn. A few weeks later he will learn to move on its own.
Precautions
As soon as the baby learns to roll over and crawl, it begins a very attendant stage of his life. It is best to use for training:
- cozy warm floor, which will be encouraged by carpet;
- the surface must be clean;
- no acute items;
- you can not use high tables, chairs or lords without sideboards.
Possible problems
If the baby does not turn over independently, it does not always mean that in its development something went wrong. This is influenced by a number of factors.
- The kid may simply not be incentive.
- Much also depends on the temperament of the baby, if it is sufficiently passive, then he may simply be uninteresting.
- Problems may also arise in children who have problems with the development of a muscular corset. If parents work a little over the physical development of a newborn, then its tone can provoke the lack of progress.
In other cases, deviations may be associated with:
- latency of general development;
- Cerebral palsy, autism and other problems;
- injuries;
- disorders of the nervous system.
What to do if the baby does not know how to turn
If the baby does not know how to turn everything yourself, you have two selection of actions. You can use various methods for home learning and act on your own. It is recommended to find a large number of video and photo exercises with detailed explanations of how to behave. Another option is hiking to a specialist. The doctor will be able to determine whether there is some pathology in the slow development of the baby, or it is only a specific feature.
When to go to the doctor
The protracted period of study can happen for various reasons: injuries obtained at birth or in the postpartum period, too early childbirth or problems with the development of the nervous system. With the help of studies, doctors will be able to determine not only, how many months the premature child begins to turn over, but also when the Karapuz allegedly starts walking.

The first meaningful movement of the kid is a coup of the back on the tummy. All moms are waiting for such progress with impatience - this is the starting point in starting the basic skills. The ability to rip independently helps the muscle skeleton of infant to establish motor patterns - patterns of movements of certain muscle groups. This plays a major role in all subsequent toddler successes.
What how many months the child begins to turn over to the stomach, should his mother contribute to this, how to help the baby in this hard matter, without hurting? We will learn answers to all questions!
At what age, the child begins to try to roll over
Usually kids are inquisitive creatures. They try to spin and twist right away as soon as the muscles acquire a tone and some power. When a child turns away from the belly on his back, talking about the progress of the baby early. This is more like the pupils of the child, and the muscles you need do not participate in the process. And we need that the muscles of the neck and back should be strained.
That's when your child starts turning over from the back on the stomach, or at least try to make such an action - this is a reason for happiness and anxiety, at the same moment your husband must attract flights to all the surfaces on which the baby happens.
If you are trying at this time, first of all you need to protect his sleeping place.
It will not hurt to wash all carpets in the house: now the safest place for the baby is the floor. In addition, the child will be much easier to train in coup and master the next step - crawling.
When a child begins to roll over to independently, the mother must keep the basic safety rules in the head:
- do not leave a child one on the surfaces without sideboards and fences;
- disguised, always hold the baby with his hand, if turned away behind the powder.
When does this exciting event occur? All kids are different, develop at different speeds.
We present the average data:
- In 3 months. At this age, the baby begins to actively twist his head, which develops the neck muscles.
- In 4 months. By this period, the baby is already confidently turns his head on the sides and fell apart, trying to make a coup. There are kids who can turn over in 4 months with a slight help, while in the opposite direction turn over without difficulty.
- In 5 months. At this age, almost all the young freely pumped from the back on the stomach and in the opposite direction.
- At 6 months. If the baby was born without pathologies, the childbirth went well, and the baby is not trying to turn over half a year - these are signs of pathologists of the musculoskeletal system or the improper development of the nervous system. In this case, you need to refer to the specialists.
- In 8 months. If the baby was born prematurely, he can turn over to this period, and this is considered the norm. If the early child and at this age can not roll over with your help - this is a reason to appeal to doctors.
So, for normal children, the deadlines for independent attempts to turn over - 3-5 months. For children born ahead of time - 5-8 months. In all other cases, it is necessary to contact smart uncles and aunts that will find out what the reason for "stagnation" in development will prescribe appropriate treatment.
Coup on belly from the back and vice versa
Do you know what makes your body to turn over in a sweet dream on a barrel? And back? And on the stomach? Without knowing how the child turns away from the abdomen and from the back, it is impossible to teach the baby to do it.
Furning from the abdomen on the back is chaotic character:
- The kid tilts the head of the side.
- The handle is drawn along the housing.
- The child is slightly pushed with a foot on the support (floor, bed surface).
- The body of the baby falls over the side, pumped through the handle, and voila - were on the belly, turned out to be on the back.
As you can see the most important for turning the muscles (these are the muscles of the neck and back) in the process are weakly involved.
The mechanism of the coup you need looks different:
- The child flexs the chin to the chest, pulls the neck.
- The cervical muscles launch the shoulder belt, the baby pulls one handle towards the coup.
- The housing stretches behind the handle, the back muscles turn on.
- The baby turns on the barn, further - on the tummy, hesitates the hand, which was under it.
- So turned over! Raised on the forearms, and study a new world.
Exercises for learning
All kids learn to the coup themselves and gradually. First, it turns out to turn the side, then go to the stomach. By 5 months most of the kids do the coups easily and freely. If your child does not turn into 3 months, unlike a neighbor boy, do not be upset, you need to wait until 4-5 months, as a last resort - up to 6, and it will be the norm.
If a child in 5 months does not even try to make a coup on his own or turns over one way only, you can try to help him. How to teach a child to turn over, you will tell you any doctor:
- good nutrition;
- massage;
It is not clearly a specialized massage to organize proper nutrition with breast milk or a mixture of work, a specialized massage must be studied, an experienced specialist, or fully entrust this work to him.
But the exercises intended for the child will rather turn over, you can do at home yourself:
- Stimulate dots. Kid put on the back, head to yourself. Slightly pressing, spend a thumb from the right nipple down by 1-2 centimeters. So you turn on the desired muscular system, the baby will start lining the left shoulder and turn slightly on the right barrel. And there is not far away. The main thing here is not to help the child, but provoke it to the coup.
- On a barrel. Place the baby on the side and hold in this position, slightly rested the back of the palms. It is important that the baby felt like it lies so, keep the baby in such a position for about a minute.

All exercises must be done in a strict sequence, Each should last no more than 1.5-2 minutes. You can repeat them up to 4 times per day. Try to make the same amount of exercises for each side. If the child turns well to the right, make an emphasis on turns left.
All exercises need to be carried out on a solid surface - so the baby will be easier. The surface should be safe so that in the case of unexpected turn no one has fallen anywhere. All your actions should be soft, smooth and slow, so as not to cause the baby inconvenience, do not scare it and accidentally do not harm the crumb.
