What is Tummy Time?
Tummy Time is an activity/position where your baby is on his or her stomach and off the back of their head. It can be completed in a variety of different positions to improve tolerance for your baby and should be started as a newborn. Having your baby spend time on his or her stomach is good for developing back and neck muscles needed to achieve gross motor milestones (such as rolling and sitting up), preventing muscle tightness, and preventing flat spots from developing on your baby’s head.
