Tummy time is an important activity for babies to help them develop their muscles and gross motor skills. However, many babies don't enjoy tummy time at first, and it can be challenging for parents to help them get comfortable with it. Here are some tips to help your baby with tummy time:

  • Start small: Begin with just a few minutes of tummy time a day, and gradually increase the time as your baby gets more comfortable.
  • Use a playmat: A playmat with bright colors and toys can help distract and entertain your baby during tummy time.
  • Get down on the floor with them: Make tummy time a bonding experience by getting down on the floor with your baby and talking to them or playing together.
  • Try different positions: Your baby doesn't have to be flat on their tummy the entire time. You can try propping them up on a rolled-up towel or holding them on your chest while you lie on your back.
  • Be patient: Don't get discouraged if your baby doesn't like tummy time at first. It may take some time for them to get comfortable with it.
