What does a baby's airplane pose mean? Explaining babies' mysterious p

There are many mysterious poses that babies do, including the "airplane pose" that makes them feel like they are flying in the sky. They are signs of your baby's growth. Let's see what we have.

What is airplane pose?

Your baby may lie on his stomach and lift his head and arms and legs in a flying pose.
It is also known as the airplane pose, airplane boom pose, and airplane.

When will you do the airplane pose?

This behavior is mainly seen around 5 to 6 months of age, and may occur in early children around 3 to 4 months. It usually decreases around 7 months.
Some children don't do the airplane pose, but there's no problem if they don't, and there's no need to have them practice. Let nature take care of itself.

Why do you do the airplane pose?

Babies start gaining muscle strength in their neck, back, hips, and so on, starting from the top of their body. Airplane pose, which uses the entire strength of your back, is a sign that your whole body's strength is increasing.
Around 5 to 6 months of age, the muscles that stretch the body are stronger than the muscles that bend, so movements that arch the body, such as airplane pose and bridge, are often seen.

What does it mean to be able to do the airplane pose?

Once your child starts doing the airplane pose, you will begin to see them roll over and ``slide'', which is the prelude to crawling. Zuribai refers to the movement of moving forward by moving your arms and legs while keeping your stomach on the floor.
These are also signs of sitting down. Being able to do airplane pose, roll over, and slide over is proof that the muscles around your back and hips are developing. You'll be able to sit down soon.
When your baby is around 8 to 10 months old, the muscles in their legs and hips will become even stronger and they will be able to crawl.

Around this time, children become more active and interested in new things.
We recommend that when you go out with your baby facing forward, walks and shopping become "time for play and learning" rather than "time for just moving around".

Are there any other interesting poses or movements?

Babies do many strange poses and movements other than airplane pose.
Primitive reflexes, which are necessary for a baby's survival, are visible from the moment a baby is born.
For example, when something touches the area around the mouth, the baby responds by turning towards it or sucking on something that touches the mouth, which allows the baby to suckle immediately after birth. Grasping something tightly when you touch it with your palm, or moving your feet as if you are walking when the soles of your feet touch the floor are also primitive reflexes. All of these things naturally disappear as the brain develops.

Did you laugh even though you were sleeping? !

A sleeping baby may suddenly smile. This is just a physiological phenomenon in which the corners of the mouth are pulled up, and it does not mean that they are smiling with any emotion, but it is a cute gesture that makes the moms and dads who look at them feel happy. For this reason, its official name is "newborn smile," but it is also sometimes called "angel's smile."
This phenomenon is limited to around 2 months after birth, so you might be lucky if you see one.

Is staring at your hands a unique behavior for babies?

When your baby is 2 to 3 months old, you will start to notice your baby staring at your hand, moving it, and licking your hand. This is a movement called "hand guard."
As vision develops, children become able to see things around them, and this happens when they suddenly become interested in their own hands. At first, they look at it without knowing what it is, but gradually they begin to understand that it is their own hand and that they can move it themselves.

Is wandering around a sign of head rest?

Around the same time, your baby will begin to turn his head to follow mom and dad with his eyes, or try to lift his head from a prone position. This is a sign that in addition to visual acuity, the muscular strength around the neck is also developing.
When a baby is born, their muscles and skeleton are underdeveloped and they are unable to support their heavy head on their own. As children grow older, they learn to support and move their heads, and these movements are precursors to head-up. This is also the time when you will notice that when you burp your baby after breastfeeding, your baby's head will become less wobbly and firmer.
Development progresses little by little, and it is common for babies to be able to sit on their heads at around 4 months of age.

Is it okay if I don't do the unique pose?

Babies grow rapidly day by day, and exhibit unique gestures and movements at each stage of growth. Because it only appears for a short period of time, you may miss it and not notice it, and even if it is a common behavior or reaction, not everyone does it. In most cases, you don't need to worry if you don't. If you are really concerned, it would be a good idea to consult your pediatrician.
