4 Ways to Support Baby Walking

I'm Ahmed Bedawy, a pediatric physical therapist and the founder of 7arakah 🌟, a platform created to give parents tools to enhance their children's physical development and reach their age-appropriate milestones.

1️⃣ Shoulder Support:
Get down on your knees behind the baby and put your arms around their shoulders. This method keeps you stable and encourages you to stand up straight.

2️⃣ Pelvic Support: Core Engagement
Hold your baby's pelvis gently with both hands and give them a little support as they learn to stand and walk.

3️⃣ Leg Support: Step Assistance
As you take each step, lightly hold your baby's thighs to help them stand up straight. This makes them less afraid of falling and encourages them to move their legs naturally, which boosts their confidence in their stepping skills.

4️⃣ Cruising Between Surfaces: Safe Exploration
Set up your furniture so that your baby can easily move from one piece to another. This safe setting makes them more likely to try sidestepping and shifting their weight, which are important skills for walking on their own.

🌟 The Benefits Behind This Exercise 🌟

🎯 Improves balance and coordination, making the way for confident steps.
🎯 Strengthens core and leg muscles, crucial for stable walking.
🎯 Boosts confidence through supported exploration and movement.

👶 Is Your Little One Ready? 👶

✅ Shows interest in standing or moving with support.
✅ Can bear weight on legs when held upright.
✅ Exhibits curiosity about their surroundings, motivating them to explore.

🛠️ Modifications & Customizations 🛠️

1️⃣ Adjust the level of support based on your baby's comfort and skill level.
2️⃣ Use soft, padded surfaces for practice to ensure safety during falls.
3️⃣ Introduce engaging toys on cruising surfaces to motivate movement.

5 Key Stages of Sitting:

I'm Ahmed Bedawy, a pediatric physical therapist and the founder of 7arakah 🌟, a platform created to give parents tools to enhance their children's physical development and reach their age-appropriate milestones.

👶 5 Key Stages of Sitting for Your Little Ones 🪑✨ by 7arakah
1️⃣ Head Control (0-3 Months): This is where it all begins! Babies start developing neck and upper body strength. Remember, every baby is unique – patience is key. 🐣
2️⃣ Propped Sitting (3-5 Months): Using their arms for support, babies begin to sit with assistance. It’s like their first mini workout! 💪
3️⃣ Independent Sitting (6-8 Months): Watch out, world! Babies start sitting without support, exploring and interacting more. It's a big milestone! 🌍👀
4️⃣ Dynamic Sitting (9-12 Months): Babies now reach, lean, and pivot while sitting – it's all about mastering balance and movement. A little wobble is totally fine. 🤸♂️
5️⃣ Functional Sitting (12+ Months): Sitting while playing and engaging in activities becomes the norm. They’re getting ready for the next big steps! 🚶♂️🎉
