Water cradle

First, hold your child in the armpit grip and tilt them slightly to the side of your weaker hand. Then, release your strong hand and reposition it behind the infant’s back (see image one). Gradually lean the toddler into a back-floating position, supporting them with your strong arm so you can free the other arm. Position the freed arm behind the child’s back as well. This exercise allows the toddler to be placed in a back-floating position without ever losing eye contact with the parent. The large support surface is especially suitable for children under six months, helping them get accustomed to the back-floating position.
