The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends:
• Placing babies on their backs to sleep
• Tummies to play as part of a daily routine.
Increased Tummy Time is significant for:
• Meeting key motor milestones; rolling over, supported sitting, sitting alone, crawling, and pulling to stand
• Development of fine and gross motor skills, improved neck and head control, stronger back and shoulder muscles.
