Postnatal, Your questions

Marie, Hugo, my eight-month-old baby, can’t stand being on his stomach. He screams and expects that I will go pick him up. Is he taking too long to learn this? Can you help?

There are also educational files that suggest activities you can do to stimulate their learning process. Please read Infant Motor Development for more information.
