Tummy time is HUGE for your baby’s brain development, but it doesn’t have to be just lying flat on a mat. Here’s why tummy time is so important:
✨ Stimulates primitive reflexes (the foundation for rolling, crawling, and walking).
✨ Advances motor movements like lifting the head, reaching, and pushing up.
✨ Strengthens the neck, shoulders, and core—setting the stage for all future movement!
And guess what? You can make tummy time FUN! Try these creative ideas:
✔️ On mom or dad’s chest
✔️ Rolling gently on an exercise ball
✔️ Propped on a pillow or wedge
✔️ Mat time with toys or a mirror
✔️ Flying like an airplane ✈️
✔️ Go outside!
✔️ Football hold while you’re on the move
✔️ Stroller hack: Recline the seat slightly and add a tummy time pillow so your baby gets tummy time on the go!
Tummy time isn’t just about strengthening muscles—it’s about building your baby’s brilliant brain! 🧠✨
