WHY?
- Third trimester: crowding in the uterus = physiological flexion & midline orientation
- Post term: gravity causes open, extended posture
- Babies job: to reach midline, develop active flexion and active extension
- Why: promotes self soothing, self feeding, sensorimotor experiences

- I.e hands to mouth teach them about their hands/fingers, teaches them they have 2 sides to their bodies;
- feet to hand/mouth play lets them discover their feet and prepares their abs for sitting and lengthens their hamstrings
