Tummy TimeNow, a Health Minute.Tummy Time! It’s like your baby’s first workout! While your baby is awake, place your newborn on their tummyto strengthen their neck and shoulder muscles.At first, only do tummy time for just a minute or two. If your baby enjoys tummy time, work up to 10 minutes ata time or just until he gets bored or shows signs of frustration.Tummy time encourages your baby to lift their body weight, including their head, which is the heaviest part ofthe body. It strengthens muscles in your newborn’s neck, shoulder and back, which prepares him for the nextbig steps in his development—lifting his head, rolling over and eventually crawling.Tummy time also reduces the risk of SIDS, or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Remember, only do tummytime when your baby is awake.This program is for informational purposes only.
