Dr. Nichelle with Live Loud Chiropractic and Coaching explains the importance of the side sit movement in babies, especially when they're learning to sit.
Side sit is a seated position that helps babies develop essential skills for crawling and mobility.
Some babies might prefer the classic seated position where they "dump" into their pelvis, but side sit is crucial for enhancing core strength.
In side sit, one leg is forward at a 90-degree angle, while the other is back, creating a stable base.
Babies may initially struggle and fall in side sit, so caregivers can help by anchoring the hip of the leg that is back.
Side sit works the obliques and pelvic strength, making it an important step in transitioning to crawling.
Side sit can be introduced when babies are learning to sit, and caregivers should encourage babies to practice on both sides, even if one side is more challenging.
Side sit is a functional and beneficial skill for babies to master.
