Why the floor is the best place for your baby to play
The floor is a perfect place for your baby to play. It may seem obvious, but many experts recommend babies spend more time on the floor—and less time in seats, swings, and strollers—to help them build up core muscle and neck strength.
Try putting a blanket on the floor in the kitchen while you cook, in your bathroom while you shower, or wherever you are. Your baby is craving unrestricted time to move and discover their body.
