Tummy time is an essential part of your baby's development. It's a simple activity that involves placing your baby on their stomach to play and exercise. Tummy time helps them to build strength and develop their motor skills. Here are some reasons why tummy time is so important:
Strengthens neck and shoulder muscles: Tummy time helps your baby develop the muscles in their neck and shoulders, which are important for holding their head up and reaching for objects.
Promotes motor skills development: As your baby pushes up on their arms and kicks their legs, they're building the strength and coordination needed for crawling and other motor skills.
Prevents flat spots on the head: Spending too much time on their back can cause flat spots on your baby's head. Tummy time helps to balance out the time spent in different positions.
Enhances sensory development: Tummy time allows your baby to explore their environment from a different perspective and engage with different textures and surfaces.
Encourages bonding: Tummy time is a great opportunity for you to interact with your baby and strengthen your bond.
