Paediatric physiotherapists can't stress enough the importance of this simple activity. Tummy time helps strengthen your baby's neck, shoulders, and arm muscles, laying the foundation for crawling and sitting. Plus, it's a great way to prevent flat spots on the back of the head.

Start with a few minutes a day and gradually increase as your baby becomes more comfortable. Always supervise and make it fun with toys and interaction! Remember, every bit of tummy time is a step towards strong, healthy development.

Here's a quick guide to safely returning to exercise after welcoming your little one:

1. Listen to Your Body: Start with gentle activities like walking. If anything feels uncomfortable, give it more time.

2. Wait for the Green Light: Typically, it's safe to begin light exercises 6-8 weeks postpartum, but always consult with your healthcare provider first.

3. Focus on Core Strength: Your abdominal muscles have been stretched and weakened. Begin with pelvic floor exercises and gentle core strengthening.

4. Stay Hydrated: Especially if you're breastfeeding, staying hydrated is crucial as you increase your activity level.

5. Set Realistic Goals: Your body has undergone significant changes. Be patient and set achievable fitness goals.

Remember, recovery and strengthening after childbirth take time. It's not about bouncing back quickly but building a stronger foundation for your postpartum health and wellness.
