Tummy Time for Babies Three Weeks and Up

Babies love faces. Place your baby on her tummy and get down on the floor with her!
Voices are also great motivators. When your baby is on her tummy, talk or sing to her.
Change your position to encourage head movement. Position yourself in front of your baby to encourage head lifting, and to the sides to encourage head turning. If you see your baby prefers to hold his head turned to one side, try to do more activities to encourage head turning to the opposite side. If this is not changing and becomes the position of preference, bring this up with your pediatrician or health professional.
On the floor, roll up a small towel or receiving blanket and place it under your baby’s chest and armpits to prop him up. Get down on the floor and play with him, and scatter some toys near him to look at and reach for. Mirrors are particularly interesting, but mom’s or dad’s face is the most interesting of a.
Play “airplane.” Fly baby around the room, tummy down.
Incorporate tummy time into your daily routine. For example, every time you change your baby, do a little tummy time. Once your baby expects it, she may not protest so much!
As your baby grows, slowly increase the amount of tummy time per day, aiming to get an hour total of tummy time by the end of three months. This shouldn’t be all at once, but in spurts throughout the day.
