Place the baby on your chest or knees for a few minutes to get used to it. However, don't do it after drinking so the baby doesn't vomit. Ideally, this activity is carried out when the baby is fully awake. For example, after changing diapers or leaving the bed.

How long should the stomach be?

Three minutes two or three times a day is enough for a newborn (newborn) to exercise in the stomach. As we get older, exercise time can be extended to 20 minutes a day.

At the age of 4 months, babies can usually lift their breasts and stand on their elbows. Babies may be able to raise their hands, bend, and kick.
