Getting a baby to spend 50% of the time she is awake on her tummy is a daunting task for any parent or caretaker. It's especially difficult when your baby despises being on her stomach. Here's a couple of tips to help make tummy time more productive!
- Try doing tummy time on the dining room table or bed for easier face to face time. It's boring to always look down at the floor. On a higher surface, there are so many interesting things for the baby to see. Put a yoga mat or a towel down first to make the surface comfortable and supervise at all times!
- Clothes hamper natural body movement and make tummy time more cumbersome for the baby. Get your baby down to just her diaper or no diaper on a waterproof mat and see how much more mobile she is.
