Does it matter if you hug him one way or the other? There are postures that are an opportunity for you to know how much you love him; We tell you what these types of hugs are.
Some hugs that encourage you to take a more participatory attitude, that stimulate you to stretch your muscles and keep your head upright (that’s exercise!). Others favor their psychomotor and neurological development and, in addition, exercise their attention.
Therefore, the key to get the most out of them is to alternate them and play with them so that sometimes they project to the right side, others to the left, and so on.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE MOST TYPICAL HUGS:
1. Of rider
Place it to the side of your hip with its legs spread and facing you. Alternate the side of your hip where you carry it, to encourage it to turn its head and swing in both directions (first to the right and then to the left).
2. Over the shoulder
Load it vertically facing you, resting its head on one of your shoulders. Rotate your axis a little to the left to motivate him to turn to the right. Then support him on your other shoulder and turn your body to the opposite side. You will stimulate the baby to turn to the opposite side. As your child grows stronger and has more control over his head and trunk, he will need less support.
3. By plane
Load it upside down, holding it with your arm under your chest. Younger babies need to be supported on the head (in addition to the chest) but as their neck and trunk muscles strengthen, they require less support. Little by little you can start playing airplane with the little one, turn on your axis to the right and left and act as if it were flying while you load it (and hold it).
4. In the front row.
Hold and hold the baby with his back to you to encourage him to see everything going on around him and to turn his head. You will see how this posture motivates him to exercise his neck muscles; however, you should provide the necessary support to your head while these organs are strengthened.
5. Baby drink.
Sit him with his back to you, on the right side of your hip. Twist a little left to right and then shift it to the other side of your hip, repeating the twists.
6. Face to face.
Sit down and lay the baby against your shoulder so that you can face her. Or, gently hold it wrapped in your arms. This is a wonderful position because it encourages babies to look with their eyes for the one who is carrying them, as well as to raise their heads. To enrich the stimulation, while holding it, center your head and gently twist it both ways.
Remember:
›Consider your baby’s ability to hold his head before practicing each pose.
›Take advantage of stimulus-rich environments, adopting positions that give the child good visibility.
