Has your little one passed the 3 month mark? If so, they’ve probably turned into an almighty little squirmer – kicking, twisting and stretching all over the place – natural born little Yogis!
And, with all this new movement comes their beaming smiles and smug little faces. Sure, they’re only delirra with themselves and all their new moves!
That’s why Baby Yoga is SO much fun for you both and your little groover. Pampers® in partnership with baby yoga expert Sam Petter have devised a new simple and safe 10-step fun routine for you and your little one to enjoy together at home.
Not only is it a great way to bond, but it also helps with brain development, motor skills and balance, too. If you’re worried it sounds tricky or expensive, no need – all you need is a towel to put down in your living room and you and your little wriggler will be ready to get going!
Here’s 10 baby yoga videos to show you the simple moves you’ll enjoy trying at home.
Cue the Mama and baby yoga routine….

1. Maintain eye contact and keep smiling at them to be sure your baby is happy and content throughout the yoga session. Baby yoga improves sleep, digestion and reduces wind so it goes without saying it might be helpful to master for your baby and Mum’s well-being.
2. Never force your little one into awkward movements. These videos will improve your skills as a Yogi too, Mom. Stretching out all your aching muscles and for your baby improving their motor skills, balance and coordination. Literally all you need to get started is a towel on your living room or baby’s nursery floor. Simples!
3. Beware! Do not attempt baby yoga if your child is tired or hungry. You need them to be happy in their nappy to enjoy this relaxing routine!
4. Tickling, funny faces and songs or rhymes will be all the more enticing when they are wriggling around on the mat beneath with 100% attention.
5. Massage can help stimulate blood vessels and improve circulation as your baby gets into the groove of the gentle exercises.
6. Kissing and caressing your child in these positions enhances the fun aspect for them and is ultimately calming (for both of you).
7. Once you get into a routine with your baby, and you are both comfortable, invite some friends to join your sessions. Maybe you could fit in a quick coffee afterwards too?
Pampers Premium Protection™ Active Fit nappies will enable your child to bend, twist and turn easily. What is great is the stretchy side panels and extra absorbent layer that speeds away wetness. In any movement from ‘Downward dog’ to the ‘Child pose‘ they will be happy to bend freely in this nappy.
