Tummy Time

“Just do some tummy time,” they say. “It’ll be easy!” they say…

Nah. It’s not always as simple as just putting your baby on the floor. Some babies seem to HATE tummy time. The second you put them down they scream. What gives?

They way you introduce your baby to tummy time on the floor makes a huge difference in their comfort.

Our Tummy Time class is designed specifically for infants who are still in the early stages of development, focusing on helping your baby feel comfortable and confident on their belly. By focusing on comfort, calmness, and respect for your baby’s cues, you will learn how to create a positive, responsive environment that nurtures both you and your baby through tummy time and beyond.

Investing in tummy time will help your baby enjoy floor time much faster (and with less heart ache!) than just sticking them on the floor while they cry.
