Side lying can be supported on your lap or on the floor.
Gravity can help bring both their arms and legs together. Often, babies can watch their hands easier in this position.
A rolled towel positioned behind them may be required to stop them rolling backwards and give them added support if they are on the floor.
Placing a toy in front of them will give them something to look at and explore.
