Tummy Time

Tummy time is an essential activity for babies that helps promote their physical development and strengthen their muscles. It involves placing the baby on their stomach while awake and supervised. Tummy time provides numerous benefits, including developing neck, shoulder, and arm muscles, improving head control, and laying the foundation for future motor skills such as crawling and rolling over. It also helps prevent the development of flat spots on the back of the baby’s head. Engaging in tummy time encourages babies to lift their heads, explore their surroundings, and develop their sensory and motor skills. To make tummy time enjoyable, you can use colourful toys or mirrors to capture their attention and encourage them to reach and interact. Start with short sessions and gradually increase the duration as your baby becomes more comfortable. Always supervise your baby during tummy time and provide support and encouragement. Incorporating regular tummy time into your baby’s routine, you are helping them build strength, coordination, and independence in their early developmental stages.
