3 Tummy Time Tips for You and Your Baby

Tummy time isn't a favorite activity for a lot babies, especially before they've developed the muscle power to lift their heads out of that awkward face-plant position. Here are a few tips and tricks on how to make tummy time more enjoyable for your baby.

Newborns can start tummy time as soon as they come home from the hospital. Aim for two to three sessions per day for about three to five minutes — always supervised. Spending time belly-down helps prevent flat spots from forming on the back of baby’s head, allows your baby to work different muscles in their arms, shoulders, upper back and neck and sets the stage for motor skills like reaching, rolling over, sitting up and crawling.

Heidi Murkoff, the author of What to Expect When You're Expecting, shares three tips for making tummy time more enjoyable for you and your baby.
