The right way to lay your baby down
Babies have rounded backs when they are born. For nine months, their C-shaped spine has been perfectly tailored to the space available in the womb.
Now the spine has to gradually straighten out. This is a gentle process that takes a whole year and is only completed when babies can stand up on their own and take their first tentative steps.
This medical fact help you to develop an understanding of how to care for your newborn baby.
When your baby is lying down, you should also give him the opportunity to round his back, instead of stretching his spine for hours in his cot.
