Let's talk 🚼

Tummy time is crucial for healthy motor, sensory, and visual development.

Here are some ways to integrate Tummy Time into Baby's routine 👇

💙 Start Early: Introduce Tummy Time as soon as Baby comes home from the hospital, beginning with short sessions of 2-5 minutes, a few times daily. Gradually work up to at least 15-30 minutes of Tummy Time per day by 2 months old.
💙 Create a Safe Environment: Lay Baby on a clean, firm surface, such as a blanket on the floor. Always supervise Baby during Tummy Time to ensure safety.
💙 Engage and Encourage: Interact with Baby by talking, singing, or placing toys within reach to make Tummy Time enjoyable and stimulating.

As Baby progresses, you can explore different Tummy Time positions and activities to further support their development. Always remember: if Baby falls asleep during Tummy Time, be sure to place them on their back and let them continue to sleep.

Take advantage of our FREE Tummy Timer when you create an account at Pathways.org. Plus, get personalized information (to your baby!) and track their milestones. You'll find this under the 'Track' tab.

When Baby is going through a growth spurt, they may cry more, eat more, and wake up more frequently.

This will be exhausting for parents, too!

Take care of yourself during this time by eating well, listening to your body, sleeping when you can, and asking friends and family for help.

And know that this won’t last forever! Baby’s growth spurt should be done in a few days.
