If your baby fusses when you start tummy time on the floor, try comforting her by returning to a position on your belly or lap, reminding him that he’s safe and secure on his tummy. Make tummy time a bonding time Especially while your baby is having tummy time on your body, sing to her, talk to her, make eye contact and enjoy this special moment of growing and learning together.

Key Takeaways:

• Tummy time helps babies strengthen the muscles they’ll need to eventually sit, roll, push up, and crawl.
• Start tummy time as early as possible in small increments of time.
• Babies will be more interested in tummy time if a loved one is with them on the floor.

“Newborns who spend the majority of their time in car seats and lying on their backs can develop a misshapen or flattened head.”
