Tummy Time is one of your baby's first exercises—and is very important!!
Tummy Time is the period during the day your baby spends awake and heir stomach.
It is a crucial exercise for your baby's Visual, Motor, and Sensory development.
Your Baby can begin Tummy Time as a newborn (Placed on your chest) and continue throughout baby's first year (On the floor or a soft play mat)
Some of the therapeutic and sensory benefits of tummy time are:
?Promotes prone extension which is one of the two most important developmental patterns for sensory integration.
?Facilitates shoulder girdle strength and stability which is essential for fine motor and visual motor development.
?Promotes ocular motor development.
?Provides deep pressure touch to the entire surface of the body that is touching the floor/ground.
?Provides a small dose of joint traction to the spine with the break from gravity in upright positions.
