Belly Breathing Together
Place your baby on your belly and breathe slowly so they rise and fall with you.
In the Little Play app, this activity appears in week 1 of your baby's personalized plan.
How to play
1
Lie on your back and place your baby tummy-down on your belly.
2
Take slow, deep breaths and let them feel the rise and fall.
3
Place one hand gently on their back for security.
What you need
• Nothing at all. Just the two of you.
Why it works
Your rhythmic breathing is deeply regulating for your newborn and helps synchronize their own breathing patterns with yours.
Good to know
Stay awake and alert during this activity. If you feel drowsy, gently move your baby to their own safe sleep space.
