Tummy Time

Back to Sleep, Tummy to Play has become an important mantra in babydom.  And for good reason.  The American Academy of Pediatrics recommended that babies be put on their backs for safer sleep in 1992.  It was soon realized that there was a need for parents to understand the importance of taking time to make sure their babies spend time in the prone position.  This time is crucial for their development.

Pathways.org is an awesome non-profit that is all about getting information out there in regards to baby development and the early detection and prevention if there are developmental problems.  Their video below demonstrates ways and how to do Tummy Time.  Watch and see just how simple it is to implement into your daily routine, no matter how busy your household!
