Tummy Time

Strengthens the muscles babies need to (watch out mom) CRAWL.

While parents are encouraged to have babies sleep on their backs, spending too much time in that position can cause Flat Head Syndrome and delay crawling. That’s why pediatricians recommend that babies spend time on their tummies every day. Playing and exercising on the tummy helps baby develop the upper body strength needed for crawling. By three months, babies should be spending about 30 minutes a day of supervised time on their tummy.

Boppy® Pillows

Your Boppy pillow is just what the doctor ordered for tummy time. Try placing baby on his tummy with arms extended over the Boppy pillow. Place a mirror and toys within baby’s reach to keep him interested so that he extends his play time.

Another great choice is a Boppy Tummy Play Play Pad. It’s smaller, compact sized Boppy pillow encourages your baby to push up, reach over the pillow and play with all the fun toys. The right-sized pillow comes with a padded mat to make sure baby stays comfy.
