Ever heard of the Guppy Stretch? It’s is a gentle, reverse tummy-time exercise designed to release tightness in the front of the neck, chest, and shoulders.
Is your newborn feeling tense, extra fussy, or struggling during feeds? 9 months curled up in the womb may be to blame!
This stretch can support:
✨ Latching and feeding
✨ Gas and reflux discomfort
✨ Clicking while nursing or bottle-feeding
✨ Tummy time
✨ Settling for sleep
✨ Excessive back arching
A few tips:
1. Always keep your baby’s airway clear, move slowly, and never force a stretch.
2. Think slow and controlled, while still supporting the head into the stretch.
3. Continue to support the base of baby’s neck once in the stretch.
4. It should be comfortable and calming for your little one.
📌 Save this gentle technique for a day when your little one could use some extra comfort or tag a friend who baby could benefit from this stretch!
