5. Notifications:
The baby will sit almost all the time on the back. He will be able to leave his arms down and have a correct posture, but the legs not ready yet. When they are small, babies sit in the frog position. So, they should not be forced to straighten their legs to the maximum, because they do not sit yet in the posture of an adult.
When a stimulus occurs, we can see that the newborn moves his eyes and his head slightly left-right.
At first, when you return your baby on his belly, you will notice that he can not move anymore. It will stay in the position where you put him (watch him all the time!).
