Tummy Time!

Tummy Time is important for your baby.


Here are some suggestions from DINOSAUR PHYSICAL THERAPY for toys to help with tummy time exercise.
TUMMY TIME MATS


Torticollis is a treatable condition found in babies.
Physical Therapy 4 Kids in White Plains, NY, successfully treats
many babies with torticollis.
WebMD: Torticollis is a problem involving the muscles of the neck
that causes the head to tilt down. The term comes from two Latin
words: tortus, which means twisted, and collum, which means neck. Sometimes it’s called “wryneck.”
WebMD says, "Give her plenty of time on your tummy. Holding your
baby this way will strengthen back and neck muscles and keep the
back of her head from flattening. Ideally, she should have 15 minutes
of tummy time 4 times a day. You can support her on your chest, across your lap, or on a pillow if that makes it easier."
Wendy Kaplan-Lager, PT, C/NDT of physicaltherapy4kids.com
stresses the importance of Tummy Time for your infant.
If you have any concerns about your child, contact Wendy
to find out how she can help.
