Is Tummy Time a struggle in your house? 🐣
Tummy Time is more than just floor play—it is a vital building block for your baby’s natural postural development, head control, and future gross motor milestones. However, when a little one cries, resists, or arches their back on the floor, it can feel incredibly stressful to navigate.
When a baby struggles with Tummy Time, there is often a simple physical reason making that specific position uncomfortable for them.
At Osteopathy Connections, our focus is on supporting families through these early developmental stages. Our educational sessions are designed for families navigating common early childhood topics at home, such as:
🔹 Comfort & Positioning: Finding gentle ways to support babies who resist or struggle on their tummies.
🔹 Head Shaping & Turning: Encouraging symmetrical movement for babies dealing with a flat head (plagiocephaly) or an uneven head turn (torticollis).
🔹 Feeding & Structural Support: Navigating early feeding journeys, including structural comfort related to oral ties.
🔹 Digestive Comfort: Supporting babies experiencing general digestive wind, reflux, or colic.
🔹 Body Symmetry: Understanding natural movement patterns, rolling preparation, and hip alignment.
To help you understand these early weeks and months, we host small-group Tummy Time Therapy workshops right here in Frankston.
Led by registered Osteopath Dr Janet Hogan, these 30-minute educational sessions are held in a quiet, cosy environment designed to provide practical, hands-on movement ideas tailored to your baby's unique stage.
What is included in our educational workshops:
✨ Professionally-Led Guidance: Facilitated by a qualified Osteopath with a clinical focus on infant assessment and pediatric development under the age of one.
✨ A Calm, Cosy Environment: Sessions are strictly limited to just TWO families. This maintains a quiet, low-stimulus environment to ensure clear, supportive guidance. If you'd like to bring a friend and their baby, we can book out the entire session for you!
✨ A Baby-Led Approach: We follow your baby’s cues. If they need a cuddle or a rest during the session, their comfort remains the priority.
📅 When: Every Wednesday
📍 Where: Osteopathy Connections Frankston
💰 Investment: $60 (Includes a professional resource pack and general movement ideas to take home)
Spaces are strictly limited to keep the group size small and calm. If you'd like to join us and learn how to support your baby's tummy time journey, we welcome you to book in.
