Q&A-
Tummy time is like a mini-workout that prepares your baby for successful feeding. When babies spend time on their bellies, they practice moving against gravity. This naturally stretches and strengthens the muscles in their tongue, jaw, lips, face, and neck.
Eating is actually a complex skill. It requires your baby to perfectly coordinate sucking, swallowing, and breathing all at once to get milk efficiently. Tummy time helps build the core strength and coordination needed for this.
Additionally, intentional tummy time stimulates the important nerves in the brain that control feeding. If your baby has feeding challenges—like a smaller jaw or a high roof of the mouth—regular, playful tummy time provides the right gentle challenges to help their mouth and jaw grow and develop beautifully.

While "regular" tummy time is a general activity, the Tummy Time! Method (TTM) is a specific, step-by-step program. Regular tummy time is the practice of placing a baby on their stomach to build general upper body strength.
The Tummy Time!™ Method is a scientific, intentional sequence of movements, that includes spending some time on their stomach, and supports baby’s nervous system and help with co-regulation to make sure that both baby and caregiver are enjoying the position.

Every baby—from newborns to those just starting to scoot around—can get a lot out of this program. While many babies start crawling between 6 and 9 months, every little one grows at their own pace, and some just take a bit more time. One of the best parts of this program is how it changes with your child; we use the same basic routine but adapt it as your baby grows to support their natural physical progress every step of the way. It is wonderful to watch babies build confidence, strengthen their muscles, learn to balance and right themselves, and simply enjoy the happy experience of moving their bodies!Integer non nulla luctus, efficitur libero at, aliquet dolor.
