An underrated element of tummy time that we often overlook is the surface that they are actually on. When they are practising these motor skills- nothing will be more challenging for a child that is trying to fend against gravity when they have a slippery mat that is moving from underneath them in real time. It will be frustrating and they will typically not enjoy being on that surface for too long. Don’t forget that you are also the secret sauce! Get down there with them and that will also give you longer stretches from your tummy time session. This is a Tazzy Tots | baby essentials play + change mats mat. It’s made well and has Velcro straps underneath so there was no slipping and sliding with this mat (also great for changing nappies in the boot!)
