is crucial for healthy motor, sensory, and visual development. Here are some ways Tummy Time helps baby's development:

💪 Motor- Strengthens baby’s back, neck, shoulder, and core muscles. Helps baby to meet motor milestones including rolling, sitting, crawling, and more.

✋ Sensory - Feeling different textures (blankets, carpet, etc.) on their arms, hands, and cheeks can help baby’s sense of touch (tactile sense). As baby moves and their weight shifts, they gain a sense of body awareness (proprioception). Positioning baby differently helps develop their movement and balance (vestibular sense). ⁠

👀 Vision- Helps develop hand-eye coordination. By looking down at their hands, baby is seeing how they move and what they can do.⁠ ⁠
