🤰 Encourages postural awareness as your center of gravity shifts
🤰 Builds endurance for daily movements like standing, lifting, and sitting
🤰 Supports pelvic stability and gentle core engagement
🤰 Creates a sense of strength and confidence in your changing body
(Use a wall, chair, or shorten the hold as needed.)

🤱 Improves posture after feeding, holding, and carrying baby
