Pushes down on legs when feet are on a
hard surface
May be able to roll over from tummy to
back
When lying on stomach, pushes up to
elbows
Falls
Before your baby can roll over they can wiggle and move
their arms and legs. Always keep a hand on your baby
when they are on a high surface such as a change table,
bed, or couch to keep them from falling off.
Car seats are unsteady and can easily fall from high places.
Place them on the floor (safest place) and not on the
counter, table or other high places.
If using a baby sling or front carrier, make sure it fits your
baby properly. It should support their head and shoulders
and have small leg openings, so they can’t slip out. If you
bend over, hold your baby against you with one hand so
they won’t fall.
Can hold a toy and shake it and swing at
dangling toys
Burns/Scalds
A hot drink can badly burn your baby’s skin. Avoid holding
your baby and a hot drink at the same time, or put the hot
drink in a travel mug with a tight lid.
