Baby Development | Tummy Time | Tummy Time with Towel

Roll up a towel that you place on a soft flat surface. Place your baby on their tummy with their arms over the towel and the chest resting on the towel. Make sure the elbows are tucked under to give support for their head. If their arms move out just move them back. Engage with your baby to promote head lifting. After a short period of time, your baby may start to whimper, at which point you can roll them to their back. This is good for strengthening the neck muscles of your baby. The towel gives a little more elevation and assists your baby to weight bear on their arms.
