Playing with a baby on an exercise ball is a fun way to help strengthen postural muscles and provide them with more movement (especially if they seek movement of their head a lot). Make sure you’re safe with them by having a good hold on their midsection (between hips to armpits), stabilizing the ball as necessary, only moving them as much as their neck and back muscles can handle, and following their lead for how comfortable they are with the different types of movements. Take advantage of this opportunity to play with them, make eye contact, sing songs, and have fun!
