Give Your Baby a Strong Start with Tummy Time!
Did you know that tummy time is an important part of your baby's development? Spending supervised time on their tummy while awake helps babies build the strength they need for important milestones like rolling over, sitting up, crawling, and more.
Benefits of Tummy Time:
-Strengthens neck, shoulder, and arm muscles
-Helps prevent flat spots on the back of the head
-Supports motor skill development
-Encourages exploration and play
Getting Started
Begin with short periods of tummy time each day and gradually increase the duration as your baby grows and becomes more comfortable. Always supervise your baby during tummy time and place them on a firm, safe surface.
📄 Please see the attached tummy time handout for tips, recommended schedules by age, and ways to make tummy time enjoyable for your baby.
