Tummy Time is the time during the day your baby spends on their tummy while they are awake. Since the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends Back to Sleep, spending time on their tummy is crucial for baby’s development.
Why does my baby need Tummy Time?
Tummy Time helps your baby develop the neck, back, and shoulder muscles needed to meet infant developmental milestones. It may also help prevent early motor delays and conditions such as flat head syndrome (positional plagiocephaly) and twisted neck (positional torticollis). The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends placing babies on their backs to sleep and on their tummies to play.
When should my baby start Tummy Time?
Tummy Time can begin as soon as your baby comes home from the hospital.
How much Tummy Time does my baby need?
Your baby should work up to an hour of Tummy Time per day by 3 months of age. Aim for a few minutes at a time, several times a day.
Tips for tummy time
It’s best to choose a time when your baby has had their nappy changed and is happy, alert and interested in their surroundings. To make tummy time more fun, you can:
lie alongside your baby and chat to them, perhaps turning the pages of a picture book and talking about what you see
let your baby know they have company by singing, or by stroking their back or hands
hold a non-breakable mirror next to your baby so they can see their reflection
place safe toys near your baby, moving them from side to side to encourage your baby to move their head, focus their eyes and stay interested
do tummy time in different locations, including outdoors on a rug in warm weather.
