What age do you start Tummy Time? Right away! Tummy Time can begin as soon as baby gets home from the hospital.
There aren’t specific Tummy Time abilities by 2 weeks, but by this age Tummy Time should be a part of baby’s daily routine. Tummy to Tummy, Tummy Down Carry, and Lap Soothe are all positions that can be used in addition to Tummy Time on the floor. These positions help baby get used to Tummy Time but baby should be working towards Tummy Time on the floor.
An infant Tummy Time tip:
Many parents like Tummy to Tummy for their newborn. This allows you to be face-to-face with baby and enjoy lots of baby cuddles!
