Why Tummy Time Is More Important Than Ever

The Pathways Awareness Medical Round Table has developed a set of standards for Tummy Time that outline when to start, how much babies need, and the best ways to encourage Tummy Time.

Many babies are not getting the stretching and strengthening of the back, core and neck muscles critical to proper development. This can be achieved through Tummy Time. "Back to sleep, tummy to play" is the right model.

How much Tummy Time is necessary? When should babies start? What activities are best? Watch these videos for more information.
