* When back floating a baby, simply hold the baby's head allowing the body to float freely and naturally in the water. This can be accomplished with the inflatable Baby Neck Float Ring <br />* By only supporting the head (by hand or with the ring) to protect <br />against unexpected submersion, the newborn baby is able to experience "the motion of the ocean" and organically move his limbs and torso more easily than on land. <br />*. The Neck Float Ring is an acceptable floating device suited for babies until about 4 months, since it mimics the same hold that a parent or teacher uses to support the baby's head.
