“Jack has had tummy time every day since he was three days old. At first he didn’t like being on his stomach, but now he is happy to play a while in this position. He is interested in lifting his head to get his mouth on his hand. It’s like a game to him.”
In tummy time, we want to see a progression of extension through the baby’s back over the first several months. I’m always in awe and a little surprised at the slow but steady day-by-day progression, especially in the first month. In the first days of tummy time, the weight is on the baby’s face and it is not the most comfortable looking position. Nevertheless, exciting changes are on the way!
