Your baby hates tummy time. Can you skip it?
No. Tummy time does more than build neck strength.
It forms the natural curves of the spine. It develops balance and coordination. It trains the inner ear and supports visual focus—the foundation for reading and attention later on.
If your baby truly resists, it’s often a sign of tension or discomfort. Not defiance. Their nervous system is telling you something.
Tummy time isn’t optional. It’s foundational.
Save this if you have a newborn. 🤍
