Gentle Stretches
Your baby's LEFT side may tighten up over time. Carrying out some simple, gentle stretches may help to reduce this tightness and maintain flexibility and range of movement.
Try to repeat these stretches about three times a day at nappy change time. Your baby will be lying on his or her back for the stretches.
Do each stretch in turn, slowly, gently and carefully. Your baby should not be in discomfort while you do this.
Gently stretching the arms and legs on both sides of YOUR baby's body will let you feel any differences between the two sides.
We suggest gently stretching your baby's right side first and then the LEFT side so you can compare how the movement feels. It is likely to be the LEFT side where any stiffness might be felt.
