Have your baby lie on his stomach on his arm and put light pressure on his belly. The other hand is placed on the back to hold the baby more firmly, then swing the baby back and forth to the music. If the baby does not like to hold and lie down, the mother can let the baby sit on her body, one hand supporting the buttocks, one hand holding the baby's belly. Note, when observing that the baby is not interested in fast rhythms, the mother can change to other genres such as pop, van, or classical music ...
