Spending time on her tummy allows your baby to develop control of her head and body. Babies learn to control their heads first, then their shoulders, and then all the way down to their toes. Once she has mastered head control, your baby will be able to have a good look at the world around her.
Snakes, it seems, are deeply symbolic animals in the spiritual realms. They represent change and healing and the shedding of the skin equates to letting go of the old and damaged and allowing in the new. I liked this meaning â my life was very stuck at that point and change seemed like a nice idea.
