Hold Your Head Up

"They put me on my tummy again!"
Vera used to love laying in the prone position. Not anymore. This is how she protests: by doing the head raising thing. Up 1 second. Down to rest. Up again. Down to rest. It's tough for her, but this is how high she's been able to raise it to.
Mummy hopes that one day she'll be able to hold her head up.

I am so impressed with Vera and her head holding. Annabel didn't do anything close to this until well after a year. annabel's tummy was so large that she hated being on her tummy.
Sitting up just happen like this last may. It was in a tripod position. we still stay close behind because she like to throw her head back and there she goes.
When I say she sat up in the Otto Bock stroller, I just meant she was ready to sit up assisted and see the world. The stroller gave her this option. I tried the regular strollers, but Annabel has a curve to her back and she always leaned to the left. I felt this had to be uncomfortable. So that is why I ordered something with lateral (side) supports. Also the head piece to rest her head against. She has the option to hold her head totally up, but does rest it at times. I can give you some names of other who use different stollers that may be lighter for you to lift.
