“My Baby Hates Tummy Time…”
“My baby hates tummy time” … I have heard this phrase a time or two over the years!
Here are a few tips and tricks to encourage your little one to stay on their tummy for play as well as stimulating other sensory systems as well!
Grab a cookie sheet, fill it with water, place baby somewhere you don’t mind getting wet and watch the fun!
Place any unopened bag of cereal in front of them. Everytime they touch it they will hear a fun sound!
Place a mirror in front of them so they can smile at the cute baby in the mirror. This will also encourage increased language development as well!
Place them on top of wrapping paper. Every little movement they do will provide tactile as well as auditory stimulation.
Tummy time is a crucial activity to help your baby develop core muscles. If these tips don’t seem to help, or you feel you would benefit from some assistance in helping with Tummy Time, please contact me and I would be happy to help!
