Encourage your baby to squat by providing support and practicing the motion of going down into a squat.
Here's a breakdown of how to help your baby learn to squat:
-
Practice Going Down: The key is teaching them the "down" motion.
-
Bracing: Use your leg or a cushion to brace them as they squat. This provides stability and helps them feel secure.
-
C-Shape Curve: Aim for a "C" shape in their back as they squat down. This is a natural and efficient way for them to lower themselves.
-
Repetition: Repeat the process, guiding them gently into the squatting position.
By providing support and guidance, you can help your baby develop the strength and coordination needed to squat independently.
