“The work you do at Pathways.org makes an amazing impact on a day-to-day basis with families and clinicians who use this as a tool to make specific recommendations and for family training and empowerment. We add this link to every evaluation we complete in early intervention. Access [to resources] is limited, and the quality of services is highly variability in Early Intervention. This tool makes a difference!” – Allison Liddle, Physical Therapist

The Tummy Timer tracks baby’s daily exercise
Tummy Time is the period during the day your baby spends awake and on their stomach. It is a crucial exercise for baby’s motor, visual, and sensory development. The Pathways.org baby milestones app has several features that can help parents make sure their baby is doing Tummy Time:
- The Tummy Timer makes tracking this exercise easier than ever!
- As baby does short spurts of Tummy Time throughout the day, keep track of them on the timer.
- Easily edit, add and delete Tummy Time entries at any time.
- Baby should work up to doing at least an hour of Tummy Time a day by three months of age.
- Baby does Tummy Time every day until they begin crawling.
