Tummy Time

Tummy Time is the practice of placing a baby on their stomach while they are awake and supervised. It helps strengthen neck, shoulder, and upper body muscles, promotes motor development, and prevents the development of flat spots on the back of the head. Starting from a few minutes a day and gradually increasing as the baby grows encourages crawling ability and overall physical coordination. Tummy Time also provides sensory experiences and encourages alertness. It is an essential activity early in life that supports healthy growth and development.
