14 Things You Need to Know About Your Baby's Tummy Time

You want your baby to be successful with their milestones in a way that your baby experiences Milestone Momentum.

 Whether your baby is a newborn, 3 months old, 6 months old or older, tummy time is a crucial part of their development in gravity for their milestone momentum. 

 

Michelle Turner, Baby Accelerator, in this blog she teaches 14 things that you need to know about the ins and outs of your baby's tummy time and what that means for your child's milestone momentum. 

 

To a baby, there are no bad movements, but to a baby's development, there is such a thing as bad tummy time. 

 

There is much more to it than putting your baby on their tummy.

  • If the baby hates it, it's not tummy time!
  • If the baby can't get the nose to cross midline, it's not tummy time!
  • If the baby can't lift their head, it's not tummy time!
  • If the baby can't get out of tummy time with out falling over by rolling over at 2.5 to 3 months old, it's not tummy time!
  • If your baby can't see, it's not tummy time!
  • If your baby can't play and do an airplane, it's not tummy time!
  • If your baby is planking, it's not tummy time!

 

AND NO, NONE OF THESE THINGS ARE NORMAL, AND YOUR CHILD "WON'T FIGURE IT OUT!"

 

DON'T "WAIT AND SEE".
