Tummy Time

Baby Your Baby: Importance of Tummy Time

“Tummy Time is one of the most important things you can do with your baby.
It strengthens the muscles in the neck, back, and core.”
Tummy Time: Gaining upper body strength and head control, will help your
baby prepare for crawling.
Parents can help the infant by keeping their arms forward and getting their
attention with colorful toys. It’s suggested to do this 3-5 times a day for 5-10
minutes.
