Let’s shine some light onto Tummy Time. Parents have heard about it and are advised to get their baby on their tummy as much as possible. Easier said than done! But it is an important part of their development and believe it or not it helps them sleep better by increasing their sleep drive. But let’s be honest some baby’s hate tummy time. We can be a little creative and help them to learn to love it. Placing toys around them, but not too many to overwhelm them, laying down w...ith them and only having them on their tummy for a few minutes at a time until they are able to tolerate longer stretches.
