Side position

Many parents underestimate the importance of her baby being on the side.

The body has four sides: front, back, and both sides. If a baby does not know her side she might avoid rolling over her side to come onto the belly.

As the baby lies on one side, the side touching the ground gets longer while the upper side shortens – meaning there is bending and extending of the spine.

The differentiation between head and pelvis grows. The baby needs to balance between side and back.

The side position is a preparation for rolling.
