Tummy time helps your little one build the strength they need for rolling, sitting, crawling, and even walking later on! It also helps prevent flat spots on the back of their head.
You can start from birth by laying your baby on your chest (just make sure you’re wide awake and not as risk of falling asleep). Gradually build it up day by day, and when they’re ready, move tummy time to the floor!
Tummy time helps strengthen your baby’s back, neck, and shoulders — and gives them a whole new view of the world!
Baby now loving tummy time yet? Don’t worry — that’s completely normal!
Here are a few ways to make it easier:
Lay baby on your chest or lap
Sing, talk, and play during tummy time
Place toys within easy reach
Use a small rolled-up towel under their arms for support
Try a little bit every day and build up slowly — your baby will get stronger and more confident before you know it!
