Is your baby lying face up most of the time?
Have you found that their head control is lacking?
Are they struggling to roll?
All of these are common concerns of parents with babies that are finding it hard to do the above!
Tummy Time!
Yes, tummy time is a fantastic way to help increase your babies head control and neck musculature. It is pretty much a non negotiable and is needed to be done to ensure your baby is hitting their development milestones!
How To Get Started?
Tummy time is all dependant on babies needs. Some babies can’t handle anything more than a minute when they first start. The goal with tummy time is to increase the amount of time with each session and remember to monitor your baby to ensure they are safe.
