Occupational Therapy Milestones
Marissa Penny, M.S., OTR/L on Instagram: "Sitting independently is a developmental milestone that typically occurs between 6-9 months of age. If your baby is in that range and working on becoming more stable with their sitting balance, you can try this! If your baby is younger (4-6 months), check out my other video for prop sitting as a way to introduce sitting (in my “sitting” highlight) I’m showing examples here that anyone can set up no matter what toys you have! Some other good sitting…

Car Seat Transition
Dr. Lindsey Sandys, OTD, OTR/L on Instagram: "✨ New Play Position for Baby ✨ Sidesitting is a great transition into crawling. Position your baby so they’re sitting with one leg bent in front of them and the other bent behind, like I show in the video. Then, give them something exciting to reach for placed to the side. Reaching to the side helps them shift their center of gravity over and helps them put one or both hands on the floor for support. This gets them into an all fours position…
Purposeful Play
Leah Turk | Pediatric PT on Instagram: "🏋️♀️ if your baby is getting close to taking their first steps, consider working on squatting! 🏋️♀️Squatting not only helps build strength and balance, but it’s an important component of getting up from the floor… which your baby will need to know in order to get up and keep walking if (read *when* 😅) they fall. 👉Essentially to engage your baby in play that encourages squatting, you need to place toys HIGH and LOW to encourage them to move up…
Standing Activities For Babies
Leah Turk | Pediatric PT on Instagram: "🏋️♀️If your little one is having trouble with confidence in standing, try this play idea! 🏋️♀️Sit to stands are a functional activity that help build hip and leg strength and balance that are important for standing AND squatting! This can also be helpful for learning how to stand up independently from the ground without pulling up. 👉In this video, I’m working with W on a play couch cushion, but a regular couch cushion or a shoe box would be…
188K views · 19K reactions | This is a tough one! Babies that have gained the postural control to sit independently sometimes need a little help getting into this position by themselves😥 Placing a baby in the sitting position each time you put them on the floor only reinforces their sitting balance skills. Instead, help them learn how to move themselves from the floor up into sitting by practicing this transition↗️ It may take some practice (be sure to work on this from both sides) because this skill requires strength, coordination, motor planning, and dynamic balance. The functional mobility your baby will gain from learning this will be worth it.

Transition Activities
Falmed - Stanisław Faliszewski on Instagram: "Mommy and Daddy, practice kneeling with me because it’s a great exercise that supports crawling, sitting, and prepares me for standing! 👼 Kneeling gives your little one control over their trunk extension! We achieve proper hip alignment, a straight trunk, knee load, and help the baby normalize muscle tone in a more upright position. ❤️ This activity also provides excellent stimulation for crawling, which we transition into smoothly after…
