Standing Up – Babies Feel so Big!

There is no reason to rush your baby to achieve early standing.  Although you may want to lift your baby up and place her in the standing position, let your baby pull herself up on her own.  Your baby will feel “so tall and so big” when moving from the floor up to standing on her two little feet.  When babies coordinate their bodies to balance, their dynamic physical interactions with gravity ensure that they build new body-brain connections through their own experiences.
