5 Exercises for Infant Arm Strengthening | Help Encourage Rolling & Sitting

[@chrissyjarmer249]

So glad to have found your channel! My 5.5 month old was tongue tied, which we had released at the hospital before coming home. I never really noticed many problems, but about at the 4 month mark I noticed she started pulling her arms behind her on tummy time and really resisted keeping them underneath or in front of her. She specifically kept her left arm out behind her when being held etc. I’ve been focusing on as much tummy time as tolerated and stretching out her arms and it has helped som. She will keep her arms out in front/underneath her much more and will sometime push up into extended arms! Yay! A friend mentioned that sometimes tongue tied babies have more tightness, and recommended I see a chiropractor and do a few stretches. I decided to hit KZbin today after seeing the chiropractor yesterday (who confirmed some tightness through her back, shoulder, chest and even jaw) to find some exercises that might aid in helping her more. I’ve watched this video of yours, as well as the guppy stretch, and the 3 stretches to help with infant tightness. I plan to try these with her, but wanted to see if these are the best things for me to focus on or if there is another video/stretches that are more suited to our situation! Thanks for putting this info out there!

hey, I cant get my baby to straighten his arms with these techniques, he only uses his back muscles to keep his head and chest up, which must be so uncomfortable. He has been doing superman since 4 months, he is 8 months now 😢

Did you ever figure anything out to help strengthen his arms or stop the Superman pose? My 8 month old is doing the same thing 😢

Everyone in the comments this is the actual way to do it. So the first exercise is the battle cats so you gotta use a battle cat that uses their arms and then your baby will do it, but it will overwrite the flying baby ability. Then the second thing you can do is just download sword fighter 3-D bad mobile game io and then your baby will grab a sword from inside of the game and use their arms. then you got to do the third one which is learned a mysterious rollover trick because then a doge will appear from battle cats and then the baby will use sword, but beware of the fourth one which the doge will put multiple clones of itself and your baby will hit those but the doge will attack so it's not very reliable. And last but not least you could just skip all of that and bring your kid to whatever the opposite of emerge pediatric therapy is
