What are the essential Tummy Time moves?

Try these different ways to do Tummy Time with baby!

Tummy-to-Tummy or Tummy-to-Chest

• Lie down on the floor or a bed, flat or propped up on pillows. Place baby on your chest or tummy, so you and baby are face-to-face. Always hold firmly for safety.

Tummy Down Carry or Football Hold

• Position one hand under the tummy and between the legs and carry baby tummy down. Use other hand to supp­­ort baby’s head and neck. Nestle baby close to your body to help get baby accustomed to the position.

Lap Soothe

• Place baby face down across your lap. A hand on baby’s bottom will help steady and calm them. This move can also be used to burp and soothe baby.

Eye-Level Smile

• Get down to baby's level to encourage eye contact. Baby loves to see your face!
