Why You Should Watch

Although there's no set-in-stone schedule for your child's development, from around three months old your baby will start moving more and exploring objects you provide. Seeing a baby's perspective of the sheer pleasure they get from grabbing toys or rolling over makes it easier for you to provide support, the right toys and help with things like hand-eye co-ordination.

What you'll see from a baby's eye view:

  • How a baby sees a new toy or object
  • Why babies' clothes affect how they move
  • The importance of supporting your baby's head

What you'll discover:

  • How to reduce the danger of neck injuries to your child
  • What toys to give your baby to help with hand-eye co-ordination
  • The best ways to lift and hold your baby

Lifting and holding your baby is such an integral part of being a parent, that it's easy to forget how important it is to use good techniques.  A few parenting secrets to lifting and holding your wriggly bundle of fun go a long way.
