Why is tummy time such a struggle? Because your baby’s head is 30% of their body! 🤯 And their brain? It’s growing FASTER than at any other time in life—forming 1 million connections per second! Tummy time is actually a full-body brain workout!
Every time your baby lifts that noggin, here’s what’s happening:
🧠 Brain Boost – Strengthening neural connections for coordination, movement & vision.
🌀 Primitive Reflex Integration – Fading newborn reflexes for smoother, controlled movements.
🏃♂️ Prepping for Crawling & Walking – Building core, shoulder & neck strength for mobility.
👀 Vision Development – Encouraging eye tracking & depth perception (important for reading later)!
But as they grow, their head gets smaller in proportion to their body—and their brain’s energy use starts to balance out. The early years are a CRITICAL window for brain development. Every push-up, roll, and crawl is wiring their brain for future learning, movement, and coordination!
👉 Don’t sleep on this phase—be intentional with their brain-building play
🧠 So if tummy time looks like a struggle, just know—it’s building a brilliant brain.
