Parents speak about tummy time all the time, so what is Tummy time?
'Tummy time' means letting your baby spend time on their stomach and you are there playing and spending quality time with them. This helps them learn to crawl, coordinate their hands & feet, and slowly walk.
What is so important about tummy time?
Babies spend a lot of time lying on their back. Tummy time is the opportunity for them to search for different position that they feel comfortable and also prevent the chance of getting a flat spot on their head from lying on their back most of the time.
Changing their position allow their head, neck and upper body to grow & build strength. Eventually they will learn all the new movements and improve their overall strength to grow healthily.
It is recommended that you integrate the tummy time into the daily routine, and there is no set rule on when you should start tummy time. At the beginning, you may choose to do short tummy time (2 - 3 mins) multiple times a day, then gradually into a longer period of time. You can also start tummy time by having the baby on your lap so you can provide the support they may need.
In Baby Castle, we have a few products available to make tummy time more enjoyable.
