👶 When Should You Start Tummy Time? 💙
The answer might surprise you — tummy time can start from birth, as long as your baby is awake, alert, and supervised.
Why does tummy time matter so much?
1. Strengthens your baby’s neck, shoulders, arms, and core muscles
2. Helps prevent flat spots on the back of the head
3. Supports healthy physical and motor development
4. Builds the strength needed for rolling, sitting, crawling, and eventually walking
Start with just a few minutes each day and gradually increase the time as your little one grows stronger and more confident.
