This is the kind of info they should give before you leave the hospital with your baby. It’s so much harder to remember to give my babe tummy time the second time around. My toddler is so distracting I have a hard time keeping track of what my newborn needs 🤪

[lollsazz]

One more reason to do tummy time: if baby has stomach aches, it can ease them. Ours had tummy ache ALL THE TIME before regular tummy time. When she understood that it helps to be on her tummy, she began really liking it!

So glad I found this video. I thought I was the worst parent because my son didn't do traditional tummy time until he was 5 months due to reflux. But we would carry him around all day in the football hold and also did chest to chest sometimes. So glad we at least did something for his development!

Hi, iam from India, we don't have concept of tummy time.but we do the similar activity while oiling and bathing a baby.we sit in the floor with our legs extended, we put child on its tumny on the leg of massager n bath giver.the child will hold the leg.we will give quick oil massage n a quick bath .that is the only tummy time we know here.naturally after 3months babies start roll over n they will be on their tummy .this is something new for me.thank you for detailed video.

Whoever has directed/edited Emma's videos has done an awesome job. I like how they are straight to the point with lots of visual variety with camera angles and various clips. I have such a short attention span and even I can follow her videos. Thank you!! :)

[memydogsandi]

Our first boy started with chest to chest tummy time... he basically lived in that position. I kept feeling guilty that we didn't really do dedicated tummy time though because he didn't really do the traditional tummy time until he was 3 months. Really glad to have found this video now though. I will be using a lot of the tips and tricks mentioned for baby #2

[wassermanization]

I felt awful because he’s almost three months and I’m just now being adamant about tummy time

He did his first solid fifteen minutes about an hour ago and I am so proud of him! I’m planning to do it fifteen minutes every wake window, (up to bed time) in all four positions

My doctor tried to say do 30 minutes straight, three times a day, and I’d rather do 15 minute blocks, six times a day to get to the same quota

Can you let me know of any critiques you may have?

Furthermore, thank you so much for not shaming the mamas who didn’t do it right out of the womb 🥰

[arjunlagisetty]

Emma is so under rated I am surprised she does not have a million subs yet…

[meghancooley]

I have a 2 wk old who loves tummy time lying on my chest. I am going to start trying the other 3 positions today.
Thanks Emma. Great advice

[krystinapearson]

Eat tummy time advice i got was to pop baby down when about to change their nappy, roll them over whilst you prep the nappy and wipe and roll them back over. Getting in alot of tummy time without much effort (as long as they aren't super dirty and crying alot)

[melissadotter]

Can’t wait to try this with my 2 month old tummy time hater! I’m a FTM and didn’t realize there were 4 positions and ways to make them easier! Thanks Emma!

[Applejuice]

For a first time mom these videos are so helpful, thank you!! Do you have any recommendations for twins? It’s hard to do a lot of tummy time when there are two and one hates it.

[laurenlove]

Thank you for this video! My baby loves tummy time IF he’s with me. I was told that I must do tummy time on the floor but now I know that I’m doing nothing wrong letting him have some tummy time with mommy

[za]

Hi Emma :) as a first time mum, I cannot express how much I appreciate the content you’ve put up! Any chance you could talk a bit more about your routine with a newborn :)

[jessicamufudza]

Wow..thank you for this. ..I thought there was only one way to do tummy time..have learnt a lot 😊

[Claire-wqim]

Your video is so informative and very helpful! I love how you are straight to the point and explains it short but clear

[pennybergmen]

perfect! My son was worried because his daughter hated tummy time! Very helpful! When mine were little I used a music box. Beatrix Potter!

[oliviahutchinson]

Thank you so much!!! I needed help so much! Baby 2 months old and now I have so much more to go on!!!

[MentalClarity_Hub]

What the heck wish i saw this sooner!! 😮luckily my baby was born with strong neck and back muscles because i have not nearly been doing enough tummy time!! Maybe 30-45 all up each day and she’s 3 mo!!!

[AnestheticsForAna]

my baby girl has TOF and at 9 months old still absolutely hates tummy time. She cries and rolls to her back almost immediately after I put her in position! I had to keep her off her stomach after her shunt was put in so there was a few months of zero tummy time. Thank you for these very helpful tips, I want to get her as strong as she can be before her next surgery!
