Tips on Feeling Baby Move

When you're not sure if you're feeling your baby move or not, or if you're having a stubborn baby while doing fetal kick counts, here are some tips to get the little one to move:

  • Lay down and be still
  • Drink something with sugar and/or fizz (Sprite®, orange juice, etc.)
  • Lay on your stomach
  • For an older baby lay briefly on your back (no more than 5 minutes)
  • Play music to your belly
