If you need some help with newborn tummy time, save this checklist! 🙌 Tummy time on the floor is recommended for full-term babies once their umbilical stump falls off. Wondering where to start? Pediatric physical therapist and Lovevery Expert, @dr.maralamani, shares her simple tummy-time checklist for these early months: ✅ Place your newborn’s forearms under their chest. This creates a natural incline and helps activate your baby’s back muscles, making it easier for them to lift their head and strengthen their neck. ✅ Keep their head higher than their hips, at first. Lay your baby, tummy down, on a sloped surface—like a nursing pillow, a triangular wedge, or your chest—with their head at the high end. This reduces the tendency for them to lift their legs and hips when using their back muscles. ✅ Encourage engagement with high-contrast playthings. Put black-and-white objects, like The Sensory Links, within your newborn’s limited range of vision—8 to 12 inches from their face. Note: Be sure to offer tummy time only when your baby is awake and supervised by an adult 💛 For more expert tips, head over to Lovevery.com! #TummyTime #BabyDevelopment #Lovevery #WakeWindow #BabyPlay #EarlyLearning #EarlyChildhoodDevelopment #Newborn #NewbornActivity #TummyTimeTips #BabyDevelopment #PediatricPT #ParentingTips #ParentHelp #Parenthood
