Getting moving

Your baby gets a lot of satisfaction from being able to control her body. Her improved stronger head control enables her to push up with her arms during tummy time, and soon after, she'll gain enough coordination to master the art of rolling. At around 3 months, she'll start to grip objects - she might struggle at first but this will improve as her hand-eye coordination and her eyesight develops. Encourage her by offering bright toys to swipe at - and move your face close to hers as she tries to grab your nose!
