ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
In this video you will learn how to do tummy time properly with a baby starting from the newborn age. It discusses how long to do tummy time at different months of age, and how to increase the length of time. You will also learn the variations that you can do, especially with a baby who does not enjoy doing tummy time. These will help ensure that your baby is doing one of the most important activities for achieving other developmental milestones in the future.

Thanks for the tips on alternate positions! It's a relief to have another option of what to try with babies who dislike tummy time.

I didn't realize that newborn babies prefer to look at black and white images over colored. Thanks for the helpful tips!

Thanks for the video! I struggle to give our fourth baby tummy time with a toddler and two other children running around the house. We will have to make it more of a priority!

Also, it would be great to have a video talking about how introducing multiple languages to a baby. For example in our family, I'm Russian and my husband is anglophone, we speak English at home but it's important to me that my daughter learns Russian as well.

My almost 5 months old loves tummy time and rolls from back to belly (only towards the right). While on his tummy, he has great head control, reaches for toys, and can sustain being there for well over 10 minutes but he doesn't push on his elbows or hands. Is there something I can do to help him to develop this?

My baby does swimming when on his tummy, what should I do?! Thanks

Hi, my 5months old daughter rolls from back to tummy, but is unable to roll from tummy to back. Any exercise suggestions would be greatly appreciated 😅 I didn't find a video talking about it. Thanks

Hello Dr. Belousov, thanks for the videos. It’s good that by following your recommendations we can help our babies to develop.

my baby is 1, 5 months old and I’ve started putting him on his tummy from the beginning first on my chest and now on the flat surface.

He pulls his legs as if trying to crawl. His arms move around, sometimes even go backwards. Today he seemed to lean with his head more towards the right side (and so does his body, bcs the head overweights it). Is it normal at this stage? Would appreciate your reply.
