Wondering how to do tummy time with your baby? Here’s a quick guide:

Begin tummy time as soon as your baby comes home from the hospital - you can start with baby on your chest. Aim for a few minutes, 2-3 times a day.

Next, you can practice with baby on your lap and eventually with baby on the floor on a mat or padded blanket.

Pick a time when your baby is alert and content, like after a nap or diaper change. Avoid tummy time right after feeding.

Get down to their level and talk, sing, or use toys to keep them entertained. This makes tummy time fun and interactive.

Start with a few minutes and gradually increase the time as your baby gets stronger. Aim for a total of 20-30 minutes a day by 3 months old.

Always watch your baby during tummy time for safety.
