Introduction[edit | edit source]
This article describes infant motor development when lying supine on a firm flat surface. In the article development in supine is divided into 4 periods: (1) newborn infant, (2) infant from 1-2 months, (3) infant from 3-4 months and (4) infant from 5-6 months.
Time lying supine on a firm flat surface is important because it is the first position that allows infants to independently interact with their environment and learn how to stabilise head and trunk which in turn allows them to use their vision, hands and feet to explore their social and physical environment.
